For as much poo poo as Jar Jar Binks gets I think Darth Maul is a stupider looking character. Everything in the prequels looks dumb as hell though so it sort of all blends together.

The whole gungan army look suffers from ancient cgi, but conceptually they're really cool. It's dumb Jar Jar didn't get sweet gungan armour like everyone else.

Why do the Gungans even have such a huge army with siege weapons when they live underwater and are more or less on ok terms with the naboo people

They're implicitly old enemies who must now reconcile to fight the greater threat of robot death camps.

The naboo have fighters because theyre a space faring people who prob need to occasionally fight off pirates or whatever. i havent seen the movie in over 10 years but i remember Boss Nass just kinda thinks theyre uppity. They dont seem like mortal enemies.

Who's to say the gungans we see are the entirety of their species. Maybe they have inter-gungan conflict. Just cause a peoples is dispossessed doesn't mean they don't have internal warfare as well Just went to check and this is backed up in old canon in the venerable source Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Gungan campaign

The Gungan army is just another iteration of Lucas' Vietnam fixation, with the Rebels, Ewoks, and Gungans all filling the role of "plucky low-tech underdogs who defeat a large imperialist force". The problem is that Lucas also wanted to do a big CGI ground battle so gave the Gungans dinosaur tanks and things rather than just doing Endor part 2.

Lucas has this one fixation he repeatedly uses but this time he deviated a lot from that fixation due to another fixation instead of just doing the original thing again Man you are one tought guy to please. Do you want him to endlessly repeat vietnam or not?

Reminds me of those mid-2000s charts of sci fi spaceships showing how ridiculously and stupidly huge Star Wars and Trek ships were and, if I remember right, eventually led to a video where some nerd scientifically proved how taking the And it’s really funny to me how the sizes of star destroyers throughout the movies range from 1 to 38 miles wide or long, meaning some random trooper could spend an entire day walking the length of the ship and back.

Idk if bullshit or not but it's a great Star Wars b-plot. Trooper TK-69420 isn't shirking his duties, he's on a special mission for Admiral Fukko.

And it's a Clone Wars thing too, that's interesting.Hazo posted:Reminds me of those mid-2000s charts of sci fi spaceships showing how ridiculously and stupidly huge Star Wars and Trek ships were and, if I remember right, eventually led to a video where some nerd scientifically proved how taking the It often bugs me how a lot of writers lose track of all proportion and things just end up impossibly large with no real perspective on what it means to be that big. It's already a bit hard to conceive of how big real boats can be, and here's some that are just impossibly larger. I do like the idea of installing a new transit system into a city just by salvaging a warship though. Edgar Allen Ho posted:The naboo starfighter rocks It always bugs me that Dud Bolt doesn't fly the podracer with a cockpit that looks like a bolt. Well I guess a hardware nut. The kinda thing you can turn with a wrench. And instead, that is Teemto Pagalies.

The problem is that Lucas also wanted to do a big CGI ground battle so gave the Gungans dinosaur tanks and things rather than just doing Endor part 2. I think it's a demonstration of older forms of military combat, since they're marching out in formation to meet another army in the field (and later Attack of the Clones has more evenly matched armies marching around in formation), as opposed to the original trilogy demonstrating trench and guerilla warfare. Maybe it could be like the movie Zulu, except the sides swapped? (not that I've really seen it) The Gungans' shields kinda seem like they'd evoke the tall zulu shields. Otherwise, the Gungans are more Thai than Vietnamese.

Star Wars on the other hand seems to have no internal logic for size.

What gets me more than the size is the crewing: Home One: 5,400 crews and gunners Star Destroyer: 9,200 officers, 27,900 enlisted crew, 2,700 stormtroopers And for comparison, the Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier: 508 officers, 3,800 enlisted The Imperial Navy is really just a jobs program, isn't it?

where do they even find that many crew? when every planet in Star Wars seems to have the population of a small to medium sized town.
