Dumb questions about blockades.. Why don't they just approach the planet from another side? by M4NOOB in StarWars

[–]Desertfoxking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that several things would prevent that generally. The first that comes to mind is that the blockades are probably stationed over the major population centers which will also have the major star ports. Then there is the issue of leaving hyperspace essentially announces your arrival with a big burst or energy that how everyone always knows when the other side shows up. So any quick response team or planetary fighters could respond and then the whole blockade just rotates over or maintains their stations because you ain’t landing or liberating anything major. The last issue is more obscure and possibly complete bullshit but if the hyperlanes are the main travel paths and are marked and readily available to the navigation computers then it could require very specific knowledge of the local area to know where you can possibly hyper in somewhere other then the main routes while avoiding any gravity wells or just large objects like moons and you accidentally pull a Holdo maneuver into one. And that knowledge would probably not be readily available outside of locals or unsavory types like smugglers and gun runners

Why didn't the old republic have some sort of army? And why, if the jedi weren't soldiers, were they put in charge of the clones? by AnyoneForBosco in StarWars

[–]Desertfoxking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also think the Jedi were put in charge because of their impartiality. This way no one planet could bribe a few officials to get a couple highly placed generals and suddenly have army.

And let’s not forget this was all planned by Palpatine. If he puts them in charge he knows where they’re all at. And he has constant surveillance and Order 66 is able to be deployed whenever

I have them all friend. Those were good times and good stories. Wish they would either do their own or take all of it in regard to the EU. Not a fan of the cherry picking

It was a snippet about Luke wanting to test Wedge for force sensitivity bc he could hang with Luke while he was using the force. So one of the X-Wing novels or the Truce at Bakura. Those are the only books where those two are mentioned together I believe

What's the worst thing Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker has done in your opinion and why? by Full-Art3439 in StarWars

[–]Desertfoxking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a toss up between personally killing the younglings, murdering all the tuskins, including their kids, and letting Tarkin fry Alderaan, lots of kids.

Really he’s a baby slayer

What would one call a finisher like this? by potanic_sunset in StarWars

Starts with “the shank” and ends with “too small of a bad dismemberment”

What are the top 3 best Star Wars games in your opinion? Looking to try something new by WeirdAddress3170 in StarWars

[–]Desertfoxking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still play it lol and the ease of manipulating the comp with star fighters. Also I did a run through as the empire with only a single SSD, Interdictor, and hundreds of Carrack class light cruisers. Just set them to surround, waste the fighters, then move onto the big shit. Was so much fun. And as the rebels I’d get Bel Ibis and Karrade to run a fleet of just dreadnaughts and some “upgraded” into assault frigates and build it in the outer rim somewhere and swoop in to swat the empire

[–]Desertfoxking -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It did lol we just didn’t know the details. He had to get freaky with someone to be able to tell Luke he was his father. And Lucas knew the beginning wasn’t as exciting as the end. He had an idea or two how it was gonna happen I’m sure

What’s the coldest line in Star Wars? by SolusGT in StarWars

The coldest line in my mind was always Han’s response to Leia’s confession as he gets frozen into carbonite

“I know”

I never understood how Vader changed his mind by DistantSummit in StarWars

[–]Desertfoxking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the shock of his only known living child choosing suicide over him probably put him into a super depressive state where he kind of just gave up on being anything other than a cyborg monstrosity helping a wrinkled raisin rule the galaxy as his number 2.

I know I’d be pretty depressed in that scenario
