I'm surprised Disney didn't jump all over that Han Solo Corellian trilogy since it has a superweapon with Centerpoint station or whatever it's called

galagazombie posted: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. Depositing that amount of fine particulate mass in the atmosphere is still going to cause a nuclear winter, and anything bigger than a meter or so (which is a lot of it) will rain down and hit the surface. Also those pink things with smoke trails, hurtling directly at the planet, are easily several kilometers in size. Compare that with the single impactor that offed the dinosaurs which is believed to have been around 10-15 km and not made of heavy metals. They're dead af.

Aren't Star Wars ships powered by antimatter and thus the reactor exploding would literally cause all mass to cease to exist instead of causing a nuclear winter? edit: So it's apparently "Hypermatter" Annihilator instead of Antimatter Annihilator so hell if I know how that works. galagazombie fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Jul 27, 2019 |

That would just shower that side of the planet in a ludicrous amount of gamma rays which would kill everything even more + set the forest on fire which would also cause a nuclear winter.

Endor Holocaust is just the earliest (?) example of aggrieved Star Wars fans turning their need for exhaustive detail against the franchise it's literally a story about space wizards playing with magic technology; face value may be dumb but that's really all there is here

Adlai Stevenson posted:Endor Holocaust is just the earliest (?) example of aggrieved Star Wars fans turning their need for exhaustive detail against the franchise While Endor Holocaust stuff is silly, it's not itself an example of fans needing exhaustive detail so much as fans recognizing that the end of RotJ drops a theme that had been carried through the previous films. From the droids being sold into slavery, to Mos Eisley, the wretched hive of scum and villainy, to Han Solo's life and livelihood being endangered through his association with the rebellion, to Luke meeting with great warrior Yoda who's been reduced to living in a swamp, to Jabba's slave barge, there's a continual focus on the abject and on how the conflict destroys people. Then when you get to the rebellion teaming up with the teddy bears there's a sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop -- but then the film ends with a dance party. I ain't gonna say there ain't a lot of dumb poo poo out there with aggrieved space wizard fans, but that particular thing is at least pointing to something legit.

I think the simpler explanation is that the misery depicted is meant to be part of what reminds you that life with the Empire in control sucks, and they're implied to have broken the Empire's back at the end of RotJ, hence a dance party. Yeah it's facile and reductive but it's a space wizard story for children

The series does feature the extinction of two human species, but I don't know if "nihilistic" is necessarily an appropriate description. It's apocalyptic, and everyone very much does die, but while it is the literal end of the world, it ain't actually the end of the world. Both human species redeem themselves and God effectively gives them a mulligan on the condition they try and not gently caress up next reincarnation. It's a very strange show, in the style of the more psychedelic scifi stories, especially Arthur Clark.

I didn't mean to police your take or anything, it's just that the shows reputation of "the one where every dies," if anything, undersells just what a dang trip it is. But yeah, little kid's head gets hella blown off.

For a while now us Star Wars fans have been reading about hearing about what’s out in the unknown regions and “the beyond.” What that means has been kind of a mystery and part of the fun of the sequel trilogy era. Now today I have some pretty interesting rumors about what all of this actually means and what it might amount to if the rumors are correct. I should say that many of the things in this article have been corroborated by other tidbits in the past, both public and private. I think a lot of these disparate facts are coming together now. The Sith Stormtroopers have been hidden away in the unknown regions. It is apparently hellish in those areas. The universe is “not entirely stable.” The area is dangerous and full of peril. Since Emperor Palpatine’s death the fleet has been dodging gravity wells and surviving in the wilderness of space in the unknown regions waiting to be found and to finish their mission. This is why Kylo Ren needs the Wayfinder device, I’m told. The fleet is the key Kylo Ren needs to unlock Palpatine’s legacy. Kylo gets this device from an alien that looks like a spider with an infant’s face (check out Jedi Praxis’ fantastic report which I can 100% validate) that acts as an oracle. This is sort of a Pandora’s Box for Kylo it seems as he thinks he’s getting himself something powerful that answers to him but Palpatine is not so willing to share his toys with anyone. Palpatine’s contingency plans weren’t to make sure Darth Vader’s grandson received his inheritance. The red Sith Stormtroopers which belong to Palpatine are hidden away inside a massive fleet, probably as a final act so upon his resurrection he could dominate the universe once more. However, the Death Star II wasn’t Palpatine’s last project. These Star Destroyers are equipped with “planet destroying weapons like the one on the Death Star itself.” Our buddy at the fantastic Bespin Bulletin is also releasing some images of the Sith Jump Troopers that fly in the Red TIE Fighters that belong to this fleet. These guys eject from their red TIE Fighters and rocket out and continue fighting from what I’ve heard and it all links up to survival in the unknown regions. These guys are not cowards with armor like our heroes are used to dealing with. I was told a few shots from The Clone Wars regarding Mando rocket pack stuff are pretty much reworked for this some of this movie and it is supposedly fantastic. Head over to Bespin Bulletin for his sketches of the troopers when they post in a short while. The questions I’m left with are the designs and how the fleet the survived and procreated 30 plus years later. Are they clones? How did they get their modern amor that matches The First Order’s designs? It seems like all of this fleet business is how we get Palpatine back. My assumption is Kylo doesn’t appreciate the fleet belonging to him but its also how he learns he’s part of a bigger plot to find Emperor Palpatine. My assumption is Snoke told Kylo about the fleet and withheld the reason they were looking for it or didn’t know either. Is Allegiant General Pryde a First Order guy or is he a Sith Fleet guy? When The Sith Fleet returns and unlocks a lot of secrets about Palpatine, is this also how we learn Rey’s connection to Palpatine’s plans? Hopefully more is revealed soon. Keep checking back for updates and we’ll make sure to include Bespin Bulletin’s posts when they release their Jump Trooper art! Keep checking back for more updates! We have a lot of really cool information lined up and as soon as we can verify it we’ll share it!
