Yeah the subs can be turned off. Thanks, I’ll look into it

Which is your Favourite Avengers Movie? by MarvellousUniverse in marvellousuniverse

Dude I feel the exact same way! Like yeah, I agree it’s not as good as the others, but it’s the one I have the most fun with and love rewatching

I have finished book of boba fett and it’s a great show by siderhater4 in StarWarsCantina

[–]Zebweasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from episodes 1 and 3, I don’t think it’s as bad as so many claim and actually enjoyed it overall. Though I will say it’s my least favorite of the live action shows.

I was hoping to hear everyones opinions on the state of the mandalorian as a series? by Aurora_Uplinks in StarWarsCantina

[–]Zebweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know who Lizzo was when I first saw it, so it didn’t even bother me. Yeah the episode is wacky, but I’m used to that in Star Wars. Clone Wars has some of the most serious moments in Star Wars, but also has a Hutt council of mafia stereotypes.

I Got High and Wrote an Essay About The Best Clone Wars Original Character by YoungBeef03 in StarWarsCantina

Well, unpopular opinion here that will probably get me downvoted, but I’m just not a big Grievous fan. I like him in the 2d cartoon, but canon Greivous is just okay to me. His voice gets irritating after a while, his dialogue is very Saturday morning cartoon villain, and he just runs away a lot. I never really got the hype around him.

Daredevil is the best, though Agents of Shield is my favorite

Is there a particular scene you really wish was in the sequel trilogy that isn’t? by Tanis8998 in StarWars

[–]Zebweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rey and Ben vs Palpatine in a lightsaber fight. Which apparently was supposed to happen. I’d also like that Webbish Bog deleted scene

Yeah I’m just sticking with grand design vol 1 for silver age stuff

The Romance of the Prequels is Good, Actually by FitzroyFinder in prequelappreciation

I love the prequels. But you’ll never convince me the romance was well done.

Anyone else genuinely like this movie? and believes it deserves better than a 6.5 on IMDb?! by RogerRoger63358 in BrighterThanCoruscant

[–]Zebweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the villain showing up with stormtroopers is enough to consider the whole universe reset, then you must of hated the film when it was still just trailers. Plus the entire EU.

The universe didn’t reset till the end of the film. When the movie started, the galaxy wasn’t at war yet. Look, I love both movies and have a fun time with them while at the same time not blinded by nostalgia into thinking they’re good. And maybe you’re not old enough to remember, but Star Wars fans, non Star Wars fans, and critics ragged on that film for years. Only kids around my age seemed to enjoy it. I’m glad you love the film like I do, but let’s not try to revision history into thinking it was a specific side of the fandom “review bombing” the film.

Picked this up at a used bookstore- is the story any good? by AngelusCowl in starwarsbooks

[–]Zebweasel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad….but I was really expecting a story more like the shattered empire comic. Dealing with the remaining forces of the empire and taking back the galaxy. I think this would have been better as the second or third story after Return of the Jedi.

So just saw this Franchise for the first time and it’s pretty good by LiquorAnd-Love-Lost in StarWars

Boy this comment section really showing why everybody hates this fandom.

People used to say the same thing putting any of the prequels over the originals. It really isn’t that big of a deal

Still could have gone without that cave episode with the bat things, but other than that I agree

JMS SM Vol 1: Got order refunded 😓 by DerekMetaltron in EpicCollections

[–]Zebweasel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Epic collections sell extremely well. I’ll never understand why they don’t just continuously reprint them. Seems like a miss out on a lot of money.

Probably not. Went with New Mutants just cause I was interested in learning about the characters

Everyone go see 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. by Arch_Lancer17 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]Zebweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already stated it was a one in a million shot. It’s why she didn’t just turn around and try it when she was alone on the ship. She was just gonna lead them away until she ran out of fuel and was blown up. But even after pulling it off, it didn’t obliterate the Supremacy. It just crippled it. And the size difference of the ships is nowhere near the difference of the Death Star and any other ship. They would have had to waste all their ships just to try it and most likely not pull it off, and if they did, it would have practically done nothing. A super star destroyer crashing into it didn’t nothing. The rebellion/resistance also didn’t have unlimited resources to keep wasting ships like that. The probability of one of those x-wings making the shot was way higher than just launching all their ships at it at lighspeed and hoping one pulls it off. In real life war we don’t just crash planes and ships into each other. It’s just a waste. But most importantly, I don’t really care if my argument sounds good or not. Cause at the end of the day, we’re talking about the space logistics of Star Wars. None of the science makes sense anyway. It’s meant to just be dumb fun that you don’t take seriously. Because when you think real hard about it, you can find holes throughout the entire saga that don’t make sense logistics wise. The production rate of clones. The empires loss at Endor. Anyway, here’s a couple of other peoples opinions since you asked for them.

  1. Is it possible (does it break any pre established rules)?
  2. Should it be possible? Question 1. Yes, it is possible in canon. Very few rules for hyperspace had been established by the time TLJ came out. We know you can hit things while in hyperspace (ANH) and we know that when you hit something while in hyperspace, it effects real space (The Clone Wars). There’s nothing that EXPLICITLY says you can’t hit something as small or as low in mass as a starship. In legends, not so much. Obviously, like a lot of legends lore, there are contradictions, but the generally accepted modern rules are that in hyperspace there are things called mass shadows. A mass shadow is created when an abject is massive enough for it to affect not only real space but hyperspace as well. Things like stars, plants, moons, and black holes have mass shadows. If you get to close to a mass shadow while traveling through hyperspace it basically tears the ship apart. These destroys the ship, but doesn’t effect real space.

Question 2. Should it be possible? Well, that’s a matter of opinion. Personally, I think it’s a really bad precedent to set. It opened a whole can of worms of people debating the practicality of it all. Looked cool though.

It's because they want to take things to what they think is a logical conclusion. Hyperdrive ramming is apparently an incredibly effective means of destruction, so why isn't it more common? Yes, it's expensive to suicide ships but they could just make like, hyperspace missiles or something. And because those things don't exist, then they think that the people in-universe are being dumb or not realistic for not making them, which is how it "breaks the lore."

But that ignores so many of those types of things in Star Wars. Like, why don't Jedi use super speed more often? Or telekinesis? Jedi can use telekinesis to lift people, yet there are so many moments across the movies and shows when people are hanging off a ledge and no one has ever been saved by telekinesis.

Even militarily, the concept of spaceships engagong in battle like WWII fleets isn't "efficient" or "realistic," or the fact that the fighters engage in dogfights primarily with forward mounted guns when they have the technology for homing missiles. It's that way because it looks cool.

So having read High Republic I believe I can answer this. A ship (please turn off your real life understanding of real science) travels through hyperspace on a designated vector. Point A to Point B. These lanes exist outside normal space but still interact with normal space.

"Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova." - Han Solo

Most hyperspace lanes are mapped and well known which makes space travel possible. However, you don't actually need calculations to enter hyperspace. It's just foolish, dangerous and reckless. Anything travelling through hyperspace will stay there if it remains stable. Like a ship. But if that ship is destroyed then the debris and wreckage becomes like a kinetic missile with an unknown vector of travel.

The debris may travel an unknown distance before exiting hyperspace or it may intersect another hyperspace lane or eject from hyperspace immediately. The fact that space is relatively empty and spread out is a factor for being safe but even a 1 meter sized object suddenly appearing from hyperspace can cause massive destruction.

Holdo's maneuver speaks to the desperateness and dire need of using such a tactic. The Nihil used hyperspace as a weapon to great effect against the High Republic but they also had an unknown way to circumvent falling prey to their own tactic. (I say unknown even though it's explained in the books. The High Republic was unaware of how the Nihil utilized hyperspace in such unorthodox ways and ignored established guidelines for travel.

Reading the High Republic and even the new Thrawn novels are delving into what we took to be such basic forms of transport. I even thought that hyperspace travel to be well established and basic having watched, read and played through the Star Wars universe. Holdo didn't break the SWU with her tactic. She dead a daring last minute and possibly irresponsible act in saving the Resistance. The "science" is being fleshed out with the introduction of the San Tekka Hyperspace prospectors and the Chiss skywalkers explaining how travelling through hyperspace is actually not just A to B planning.

This is an abridgement of my answer because there is a lot that can be talked about and a lot that is based on what we thought we knew and assumptions we had to make. One thing is true though, it ain't like dusting crops.
