TheCenturion posted:The REAL question is, why did the Imperial Navy not have swarms of TiEs out to fly combat air patrol and pick off escaping ships as they got past the shield? those ships, by the time they leave the shield, are moving at a pretty good clip. They have maybe a minute before they're gone, and they have a bunch of x-wings defending them. Ties are meant for space dogfighting (like both death star battles) not for chasing much larger ships and using a laser peashooter on them. Star destroyers are their best bet, and that only kinda worked because they didn't know where they were headed. If you want to use an EU argument, why didn't they have an interdictor star destroyer to prevent hyperspace escapes? Design of ATAT's aside, they have a ton of interdictors that aren't being used.

Ape Fist posted:the empire was a largely incompetent body, militarily, and was lead by the galactic equivalent of a 5 year old throwing as perpetual temper tantrum, op. This is the truth. The best warrior the empire had was a guy with late stage empasima and abandonment issues. Basically a Hitler in a state of arrested development

Wookees have very, very small penises, it's why they're so ill-tempered.

I dont think timing your shield to let your shot through is any harder.

It's one of the most iconic vehicles in a universe of hundreds of different vehicles. Contrast this to the literal DINER IN SPACE in the loving prequels which was a horrible abomination that was poo poo because Lucas has a 50s boner

Actually, his ORIGINAL plan was to kill Luke outright. "The Son of Skywalker must not become a jedi." Vader in a throw away comment said "But if he could be turned.... he would become a powerful asset." That's when the Emperor was like Oh uhh... yeah I knew that. Do that, that's a WAY better plan. Emperor was kinda dumb

Some general in procurment wasked his kid to draw the coolest tank, though "holy poo poo this is great" and boom, 20 years and 700 billion credits later (budget overrun not included), there's your fleet of AT-ATs. Maybe someone should write a My Tank is Fight EU book about a mid level administrator who has to proof all these projects. Space contractor's log 2815-92154-226: Today BGen Worsmilner ordered me to procure some type of support structure for a project called SMASHWALKER. The details are classified, but apparently they are part of an articulated leg that needs to support 132 spacetons. Forcedammit, our department is already under investigation after we built the first Death Star, which apparently had major contracting flaws. What are they cooking up now? Apparently we're going to be building 4000 of these things. //End log (make the cheque out to cash)

If you listen to the EU, General Veers championed AT-ATs even though their limitations and flaws had been well documented for decades. Dude loved AT-ATs. But of all battles to deploy an AT-AT to, the Battle of Hoth was probably one of the better choices. They are lumbering but cover a lot of ground quickly (significantly shortening the attack run on the rebel shield generator), can carry vehicles and troops (that would otherwise not be able to transverse the cold climate) in a well armored body, they possess enough firepower to destroy rebel gun emplacements/shield generators, and their only real threat are Snowspeeders, which they are also quite effective against (at least in the movie).

You're telling me the empire didn't have any kind of hover craft technology that could do all that without the elephant legs? Didn't they have big troop transports in the prequels in attack of the clones? Hell the walkers they used on geonosis would have been better than AT-ATs since they weren't so cumbersome
