Why didn't the resistance put those explosive spheres onto missiles? Are you telling me that they have access to faster than light travel tech but don't have the technology to make something similar to Tomahawk missiles?

They ignored the fact that there are already bombers in the Star Wars universe and they look nothing like that and they also don't have to drop bombs out of the bottom of them like they're a fucking B-29 because this is in space.

Stop reminding me this exists it just makes me mad every time.

have very sophisticated and even sapient droids

somehow haven't integrated AI guidance and auto-lock systems into their point-defense systems

it's dumb to think that, by the time any civilization has faster than light travel, that they will control any system of the ship directly

What happened to these bombers from the Rebels?

You really only need missiles if you can't get close enough to drop cheaper bombs. Clearly the bombers were build to go after defenseless civilian targets. It's a good thing the First Order was there to take care of them. They had to sacrifice so much to draw them out. Heroes one and all!

Looks like the pilot can eject.

Akshually, the Y-Wing was a fighter and only got pressed into the bomber role because it wasn't able to keep up with newer models.

Even just dogfighting is retarded when we already saw they have missiles. 99.999% of engagements should be BVR.

But nope, they still just get in each others' fucking faces.

Destroy the Empires most extreme weapons [twice]

Kill the Emperor and Vader

Somehow still consider yourselves the rebellion despite having every means to take over the senate.

Star Wars was always retarded slop for manchildren. It's the OG slop capeshit franchise.
See You are just a midwit upset that Ryan exposed you as a retard for liking it. Before you didn't notice the inconsistencies.

It's OK hard scifi is not for everyone, I'd rather gatekeep it, you should embrace being a midwit and stop thinking so hard.
I heard the new Andor is awesome :)

I like to think this guy escaped before the death star blew up

Why didn't the resistance put those explosive spheres onto missiles?

proton bombs have massively higher yield per area occupied than missiles since they dont require guidance/propulsion

also that bomber in your picture can apparently carry 1048 of them, which is a ridiculously high number of proton bombs

by comparison, a TIE Bomber could carry a max of 72 proton bombs

they ordered a bomber of this type because the remaining empire forces tended to be in ultra-hardened fortress type facilities and the only way to get them out was with sustained bombardment, and using a relatively nimble bomber they could evade surface naval emplacements designed to shoot cruisers down

its a questionable design since it puts a huge amount of resources into a single small and vulnerable bomber package, but if all you need to do is bring 1048 proton bombs from point A to point B quickly, it makes sense

I dunno, Tatooine felt pretty realistic with the twin suns, and being a desert shithole, and how Luke's uncle made a living collecting dew from the morning fog

On 25 February 1991, during the first Gulf War, the Phalanx-equipped frigate USS Jarrett was a few miles from the U.S. Navy battleship USS Missouri and the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Gloucester. An Iraqi missile battery fired two Silkworm anti-ship missiles (often referred to as the Seersucker); Missouri responded by firing its SRBOC chaff countermeasures. The Phalanx system on Jarrett, operating in automatic target-acquisition mode, fixed on Missouri's chaff and fired a burst of rounds, of which four hit Missouri, 2 to 3 nautical miles (4 to 6 km) from Jarrett at the time. There were no injuries on Missouri, and the Iraqi missiles were destroyed by Sea Dart missiles fired by Gloucester.[20]

Point defense systems barely work IRL either.

lmao what a perfect example of extreme cherry picking

Then just install a glide kit onto those bombs. That's literally what US JDAM and Russian UMPKs are.

where shields?

Paige Tico,

ball gunner

She could ball my gun if you know what I mean...

Oh I didn't think of that, I'll go tell disney straight away they need to fix it.

Gee, which character should we focus on? Which character will people want to watch?

It's totally fine that the sequels did this pants on head retarded thing because George did something questionable once

Every fucking thread.

>Somehow still consider yourselves the rebellion despite having every means to take over the senate.

I watched these stupid movies so let me explain why they still consider themselves rebels.

The retarded-by-design new republic senate voted for almost total de-militarization after 'defeating' the empire.

The 'resistance' (new rebellion) disagreed with this assessment and assembled an arsenal of starships and weapon and personnel willing to fight the empire remnants, despite the demilitarization order by the new republic senate.

In effect, they were 'Rebels' since they were a paramilitary force not approved by the galactic ruling body.

Yes the plot is obviously retarded as fuck as the threat of empire remnants is objectively huge (as they proved by murdering around 40 billion people with a superweapon), but that's just how they justify calling themselves rebels in-universe.

It's kind of like how after WWII the allies declared themselves the victors despite Nazi's still being on and underneath Antarctica

They really wanted to calm everyone down and assure them the war was over and the heckin Nazis were all gone.

While in secret they staged 'expeditions' for several years to low-yield nuke Nazi tunnels and DUMB's before the remnants could enrich enough uranium to nuke the allies/new world order back and then seize power again.

The less Nazis they found the less support they got, and the expeditions stopped being funded and definitely stopped getting nuclear devices of the yield needed to fully destroy DUMB's.

Lets just hope they got all of them, or enough of them for the remainder to die off on their own due to no logistics.

Ryan

That fag? He's pure shit. All he did was show that he is a nepo baby given a career in movies.

And just LMAO at you talking about hard sci-fi now. As if you sequelfags have ready any hard sci-fi books. Hell, have you read any books, you sad faggot?

Star wars is stupid and illogical from beginning to end. Do not expect any coherence, it was all made up as they went, even the OT

Great post. We have a single disneyshill defending this shit. The seething is unreal.

midwit copes by calling me a sequelfag

lol
Read closely. It's all shit, starting from the very first movie. You are the original capeshitters of the scifi genre.

I would trust an AI driver only very slightly more than I would trust an indian driver.

Ah yes, because I'll list every example of them not working? Midwit

Plot holes are such a shit form of criticism

It looks more like a minelayer than a bomber.

Rise of Skywalker has a Ywing that just shoots one of the laser dishes on a super star destroyer and blows the whole ship up. They don't even use it for bombing purposes.

hurr de hurr hurr

In a universe where you have fucking lasers the idea of payloads ever being able to reach a target through ballistic systems is retarded.
Don't even have to account for bullet-drop or speed.

clone wars series

Y-Wing is still a bomber

When was it a fighter?
The white one

we don't have one of those

Well then you fucked up

No, what happened to the fucking B-Wings which were the canonical bombers for the sequels for star wars fans for thirty fucking years before Disney. In all the books, in all the games, they kick ass and destroy Imp ships, then Disney clomps in knowing jack shit, erases everything and farts out this idiotic "design".

In the EU there is some lore saying that AI is heavily regulated in the STAR WARS universe, its why robots like C3PO are not very smart and only good at doing one thing "translation".

because they dont want all that power in one system

Nah, you made that up. It's more that computers in the star wars universe were just not as capable. They're perpetually stuck in 70s era tech and that's fine. It embodies the whole feel of star wars. Making all the droids, AI and devices super modern and miniaturized destroys star wars.

Other way round genius, it starts as a tactical bomber with a crew and they have to strip it down to become an ungainly single-person fighter

proton bombs have massively higher yield per area

No one gives a shit shill, the warhead that hits the target is infinitely more effective than one that just floats around at random

Just strap grenades to these things, produce 1 gazillion of them, and use them as loitering ammunition like in the Russian and Ukrainians do.

All the military equipment of old sci fi franchises will look increasingly retarded as modern
military technology will advance.

hurrrrr i don't care if my media doesn't make any sense

as long is it has flashing lights and looks cool durrrrr

Go watch another Subway Surfers clip, faggot ipad baby.

All the military equipment of old sci fi franchises will look increasingly retarded as modern military technology will advance.

So what? They're fictional stories. You always have to get into a certain headspace and accept certain things for any story. Understanding that droids are expensive, not as capable as modern tech, and not produced by the bajillions is just something to do to enjoy your story.

Or just use R2D2s to fly X-Wings filled with explosives directly onto enemy cruisers

Don't even need explosives.
Just go to warp speed right through them.

Reminder that CIS and their droid army would have won.

Why didnt they have a million of these unstoppable droids instead of billions of useless roger roger droids?

Why didn't they lightspeed skip to instantly teleport to Palpatine in ride of skywalker?

The factory world known as Tai-1 couldn't keep up with high grade silicon demands required for manufacturing a trillion IG 88s or B1s or droidekas, B2s were good enough as cannon fodder and they got the job done against anything without a lightsaber for the most part

Palpatine didn't want the Trade Federation to win the war, so he told his identical twin Sidious to make sure there robots were shit

There isnt enough silicone in the star wars universe? But they can build shit like this? lmao

The suicide run on salt world proves her Bushido spirit

I unironically think bb8 is the only well designed thing to come out of the sequel trilogy.

Why the asian pilot gotta wear the yellow flightsuit?

What ever happened to this character after TLJ? I never saw Rise of the Skywalkers.

Is that when she went "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love." - just after preventing the black guy from saving all their friends?

Poe finn and rey went on adventures and she stayed at the base because she had to study enemy plans or something.. they just wanted to get rid of her and that was the excuse. I dont remember the exact reason. She was barely in it. Weird ass trilogy.

yes
lmao

I thought the longest time that death star 2 was just the original one being repaired after it miraculously survived the explosion

I thought it was always a fighter-bomber, kind of like a P-47
