Concerned Citizen posted:an object the size of a star destroyer crashing into a planet would have suffered vastly more damage and likely caused a castrophic explosion, rather than just sort of get buried in the sand a bit. this is making a lot of assumptions, such as the fact that it had an entirely uncontrolled atmospheric entry

Yeah I thought the same thing but it still looks cool. Also atmospheric re-entry would gently caress it up. Maybe a Jedi brought it down with the force, or maybe they were on full reverse the whole time going 'gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress'

It's J.J.'s fault*....he turned the Enterprise into a ship that could fly anywhere so maybe now Star Destroyers can too? *As far as I know the Enterprise was never built or flown on Earth prior to Abrams-Trek?

Yeah I dunno that whole underwater Enterprise thing was weird too but Star Trek's tech has always kind of just been 'whatever it's magic' to me so it didn't bother me all that much. They've got force fields and poo poo that are more than just shields, and the Enterprise seems like it has really powerful engines that aren't dependent on backwards thrust really. Not sure what their propulsion is. I do know (because I am a dumb nerd) that Star Destroyers are built in orbit because they are too big to launch from the ground though. Plus they have the massive engines in the back. Makes me think they aren't really capable of atmospheric flight.

Maybe that star destroyer was landed there on purpose and then it tipped over. Maybe wookiees never go grey. I mean, not every animal with hair goes grey when it gets old. Maybe Chewie has to be a dominant male in order to become a silverback, and since he'll always be Han's bitch, he's a total beta and will always be brown! Hey, is Carrie Fisher gonna be in this movie? I wanna see gross old fat Harrison Ford making out with gross old fat Carrie Fisher.

Alright. My nerdy quibble with the ruined star destroyer is that you dont see any evidence of a crater, even though the environment has shifting sands.

Han Solo spared Chewbacas life after being ordered by an Imperial Superior to execute the wookie. Chewbaca owes Han Solo a blood debt. Chewbaca is not Hans bitch you turdbutt.

Yeaaaah technically I only know that due to EU stuff but also I can say I know that because there's no way you're building a massive capital ship like that on a planetary surface unless it's a super low grav planet or something. Who knows though. Not a big quibble either way the shot is amazing.

A Gerald Ford aircraft carrier (the new ones) have a displacement of about 100,000 tons, and don't have to fly. An Imperial Star Destroyer is like 6.4 million tons and has to fly. The amount of energy you'd need just to get 6.4 million tons out of the atmosphere at once is ridiculous, there's no reason to build it on land.

 The only reason I can think of is that you need gravity for some large scale industrial process. Assuming you cannot generate it in orbit by spinning the structure. But I'm not that well versed in physics so  .
