We know the Deathstar from Return of the Jedi does not blow up into tiny pieces, the trailer for Rise of the Skywalker confirms this. Is this stupid and makes very little sense for how it's presented? Yes.

What if the Death Star in the teaser is DS I? Also I guess Disney made new proclamations about the Death Star sizes at some point, DS I is now 160 km and II is "just" 200 km in diameter. Weren't they 100 and something stupid like 800 km for DS II for the longest time?

The Death Stars are Darth Sidious' Sith holocrons, and each one contains a perfect copy of him as the gatekeeper.

Everyone knows the Endor holocaust is a hoax. The Death Star debris was sucked into a nearby wormhole and spit out harmlessly in the oceans of Mon Calamari, where a three eyed mutant impostor claiming to be Palpatine's son (Palpatine's actual three-eyed mutant son was frozen imprisoned in Kessel at the time) used whale poaching as a cover to retrieve the glove of Darth Vader from the depths in a bid to be crowned the new Emperor. Come on sheeple, open your eyes.

I have seen some speculation that the Death Star we see is actually the first one and the planet they are on is Yavin IV, but Yavin also appears to be a forest planet....

Weren't they 100 and something stupid like 800 km for DS II for the longest time? Only according to the visuals and model builders (who had to know the exact dimensions so they could position the variously scaled-down models accurately through multiple passes of bluescreen photography and matte paintings etc). The Story Group overrules what you see in the film, much like the Pope overrules whatever heresies you may read in the so-called Bible.

Payndz posted:The shot where the reactor blows and the Falcon whips into the tunnel just as the fireball erupts is one of my favourites from the entire series. It's so kinetic and thrilling, and absolutely perfectly timed. Agreed, it's a very cool sequence in general.

Technically, we're discussing a moon of Endor. The planet Endor and its gravity would determine the fate of the remains of the Death Star. Also unknown is the materials used in the Death Star, the precise physical details of its demise, or anything else necessary to determine what would actually happen afterwards because we're talking about a film series in which science is far less powerful than some bullshit made up by an old conman who lives in a shack. The Death Star was also destroyed due to a space wizard exploding in its core. Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Jul 26, 2019 |

Captain Splendid posted:It really depends on the orbit. For Earth, to deorbit something from geostationary orbit (35,000km out), you need to decelerate it by 1.5km/s. Well let's see... the DS2 was 160km diameter. So assuming that image is actually an accurate representation, it would have been orbiting at an altitude a little over one of its own diameter. As a point of comparison, 190km was roughly the minimum orbit the Space Shuttle could maintain. So holding that mass in a geostationary orbit at that height would have required an enormous amount of energy. Of course the Star Wars universe conveniently has repulsorlifts and probably other anti-gravity tech, but as soon as that power was shut off, it was all coming down within hours, maybe days or weeks for little pieces blown into higher orbits, but all the big stuff would be impacting very soon.

I wonder how they would have killed off Wedge. They unceremoniously blew up Ackbar without a word (supposedly standing in a group of anonymous Mon Calamarians in the shot when Leia blows up) and he had like entire scenes in RotJ.

I think he was proto Poe back when he was supposed to die in the tie fighter crash on Jakkooine. Either that or he was the old guy who gives poe the map thing at the start.

There were reports before the movie came out that he turned the movie down, but he said on a radio show a few years ago that they just never asked him, so Wedge probably wasn't in there at all. Poe was known as "John Doe" throughout most of pre-production though, so he could have been anyone.

Wedge downs more Imperial combat vehicles than Luke does when you go back and count. But yeah as shows there's no Endor holocaust because whatever crazy sci-fi mumbo-jumbo reactor breach Wedge and Lando started disintegrated the thing into fine particulate much like the original. edit: I can't believe I forgot when the TIE's attack the Falcon in ANH. Looks like Luke and Wedge are tied. galagazombie fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jul 27, 2019 |

And of course, his character was only created because they needed somone to have a map to Luke after they scrapped the original idea of it being in the submerged ruins of the Death Star. It's Death Stars all the way down.
