Technically it is still a spoiler since it can reveal details people might not want to know regarding the plot of the film. Might be worth flagging
Episode IX Speculation and Discussion
- Thread starter INACTIVESamusAranX
- Start date
It would be a spopiler if I dropped the leaked images without spoiler tags. but this is definitely not a spoiler.
Spoilers are different for everyone, so a tag of "potential spoiler" could be polite
That was my point exactly.Spoilers are different for everyone, so a tag of "potential spoiler" could be polite
Disney does not own Atom Tickets. They are an investor, just like Lionsgate and Dwayne Johnson (who has his own movie coming out in direct competition with TROS).
I'm always highly amused by the idea that somehow shareholders automatically means cooking the books in a conspiracy level way.
Its kinda like the idea that was floated by The Fandom Menace that Disney was buying up seats at Captain Marvel showings to boost their profits. I mean, ignoring the obvious amount of ridiculousness in the idea of committing fraud would get them in so much trouble if they get caught, I have a hard time believing that anyone would spend more money just to inflate the box office receipts. Its counterproductive.
they were called TIE bombers but cleary they were shooting powerful lasers downward not physical bombs
No. If the TIE Bombers were clearly doing anything, then it was shooting/dropping some sort of projectiles not completely unlike proton torpedoes downward. We know that the asteroid had gravity, because Han, Leia, and Chewie walked around outside the Falcon in the stomach of the beast.
First, the film, thankfully, does not state as much, because... yawn. Second, not according to Wookiepedia's entry on the TIE Bomber. According to that site, the bombers, while having two forward mounting laser cannons, could carry concussion missiles, thermal detonators, proton torpedoes and orbital mines.
I finally read the article that revealed the name of the place where the second Death Star debris is in TROS and it does call it a moon, so I'm thinking that it's another moon of Endor.
agreed .
i don't mind TIE bombers.
There are certain things that just seems stupid (to me it's all about how it feels, since ANYTHING can be justified by "it's all fantasy:
R2-D2 and other droids rolling on the surface of moving ship in TPM: it just seemed stupid. When the droids made repairs in the original films, they were housed into a niche. Applying not actual science, but the "movie physics" one would have watching a movie with airplanes or whatever, rolling around on the surface of a ship seems off to me.
Even if falling bombs in TLJ is scientifically accurate, so much attention is drawn to it, (the whole scene relies on it so you pay more attention) and most of the audience will question it.. "how can you drop things in space). Even if they reason it out, it still took them out of the film for a bit.
Leia flying and horses in space also strain the audiences believability, again perhaps.. pulling them out of the film even if for a sec.
Yeah, my strained believability comes from characters, not physics in a space fantasy. Give me space horses and Leia using Force powers over random love story in the PT any day.
OK, let's just for the sake of argument apply real science to this one: assuming the ship wasn't currently under acceleration and assuming an astromech can emit even a weak magnetic field from it's feet, then there's nothing to prevent exactly what we saw from happening, as weird as it might look. They're in a vacuum after all (presence of sound notwithstanding) so it's not like there'd be any air friction or anything pushing back. Even under acceleration, a somewhat stronger magnetic force could keep them in place just fine.
Also recall that the main inspiration for R2 was the drones from 'Silent Running'. Pretty sure they walked on the outside of the ship too...
i just tried tried to explain that it seemed stupid, even putting aside the science. I mean i just think of planes.. if something is not locked on the surface of my fighter plane and i move forward.. its going to be left behind. I spent a lot of words in my post clarifying that .. science aside.. these things felt off to me.
No one complains that the gun with the silencer Cobb uses in the opening of inception is so quiet.. it just works cinematically (despite the fact that silencers don't muffle the sound much at all).
I do. I hate all silenced weapons in cinema for that very reason. Video games too. It just feels off to me.
If this bothered you this much, the scene in the trailer with the Resistance fighters riding Orbachs on the Star Destroyer must have made made you completely lose it.
