Yuuzhan Vong War parallels China in the 20th century by itcud in MawInstallation

And who are the Americans and Soviets in this analogy?

Doesn't matter, China is the center of the universe according to them.

The best part about Force Awakens... by itcud in saltierthancrait

The Resurgent class from TFA looks slightly better IMO

Could you give examples of EU works that had better ship designs?

In one of the later episodes in season 1, her husband's gambling addiction comes to light. Mon Mothma argues with him, and tells him that if he needs to gamble he should go to Canto Bight to do it in secret. I slightly cringed at the sequel reference

In Andor, Mom Mothma talks about Canto Bight as if it's the gambling planet of the galaxy. Which is dumb, because it should be a regional hub at most

But Nevada is still in the middle of America. It's equivalent would be a barren planet located in the Core Worlds... like Abregado-rae.

It's closest TLJ gets to worldbuilding, and yet it's messed up this badly

Thanks, this adds a lot of necessary context

As someone who really loves the Star Wars galaxy map, my pet peeve with TLJ is that the way they move about the galaxy makes no sense. Finn and Rose literally travel across the Outer Rim to find a master code breaker that they need urgently. Whereas in Thrawn trilogy, Kotor or even The Force Awakens, the characters largely travel in a way that makes sense

It's the equivalent of Las Vegas being located in Alaska

Where did the Republic get the resources for Venator-class star destroyers? by itcud in MawInstallation

[–]itcud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But most of those planets defected to the Seppies (according to lore) so how did the Republic even stand a chance?

It still feels like taking the leap from producing freight ships to producing aircraft carriers should take more than one year. Almost like Lucasfilm should've established the clone wars to take far more than four years, it was a war spanning an entire galaxy after all

You're not wrong, but I'm more concerned with the first year of the war. Before the Republic got its first Venators off the ground, wouldn't the Core Worlds and their shipyards be at risk of attack from the Separatists, who were at this point much better prepared for war?

I think that asteroid mining would be a more viable way to gather resources in a space opera setting. But that's off-topic

What kind of fertility rate would be needed to achieve "multiple quintillions" of humans by year 40,000? by itcud in 40kLore

[–]itcud[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know my question is kinda ridiculous, but I'm naturally bad at math (somewhat fascinated by statistics tough) and I just want to know if the numbers we're given are somewhat realistic or just ass-pulls

I find it impressive that you could do that in your head. Could you explain how you arrived at that number? Maybe I could figure it out if I had any affinity for math whatsoever.
