The Incom T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star.

An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive sheilds, makes this the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron, except when the mission profile disallows it.

In addition to 4 blaster cannons, the X-wing can carry a number of proton torpedoes. It's power by 4 fusial trhust engines, and requires an on-board astromech droid for peak performance.

that game was a decent rogue squadron clone

I don't think rogue squadron 64 has aged that well though. All the fighters just fly through waypoints like their own tracks until you shoot them down. Rather than actively trying to hunt anyone they just hope you're dumb enough to fly in front of them. Turrets and walkers on the ground felt like the only realy threat. It's still fun it just isn't as hard as I remembered it.

it was pretty good, more story oriented though still had replayability and tons of unlocks, but factor 5 took a lot of liberties with some craft like the police fighter, the bomber, and the speeders.

That's retarded. The interceptor was the TIE fighter's upgrade but still cheap. There were only a few in Jedi because they had recently gone into production but by the time TFA rolls around they should be the standard. It would be like the rebels going back to using Y-wings to "cut costs". You don't see people using VCRs anymore because DVD/Blu-ray players are dirt cheap so there is no cost advantage.

>>322985530
The K-wing is one of the most recent starfighters produced by Koensayr for the New Republic's ongoing conflicts with the imperial remnant forces and other threats. Descendants of the y-wing, k-wings first appeared during the black fleet crisis 16 standard years after the battle of yavin, and have been mobilized for nearly every subsequent conflict. The k-wing's ideal mission profile involves close-range, precision bombardment of planetary targets, space stations, or slow-moving capital ships. However, it is also a competent escort fighter and short-range reconnaissance vehicle.

I think Star Wars is extremely misleading, because what the situation most likely is is that the Rebel Alliance is a group/conglomerate of planets and people who openly defy the Empire and live outside of it's jurisdiction, or live within it's jurisdiction but carry enough firepower between the group of them to stop the empire from going full Scorched Earth on them.

What most people see the Rebels as is a guerrilla group operating under cover to overthrow the empire. So if you see the Rebel Alliance as the first theory, it makes more sense.

We're getting into semantics but it was produced sometime around/after V which would be still relatively recent as far as military tech goes come VI. Either way it makes sense for them to be limited in number in VI but there's no excuse for TFA.

The Interceptor is straight up better than the Fighter in literally every way. Faster, more maneuverable, more guns, can carry missiles without modifications, smaller and harder to hit. There is no reason to go back to the Fighter unless you have no choice.

This is a Corellian YT-1300 freighter. I don't know where this ship came from, but it is NOT within the set parameters for a civilian transport. It has been illegally modified with 2 quad guns, one mounted cannon, several escape pods, a completely new sublight engine, several stealth and communications jamming additions and a large secret cargo area. Not the prettiest ship, but an excellent choice...if you're a smuggler.

Even if we're going by the films they have a harder-to-hit profile from the side and yes they do shoot 4 lasers instead of 2. You know there's a ton of canon design documentation for these things that doesn't make it into the movie for the 2 seconds they appear but does into the games right?

Did you forget that Lucas did the same shit in Episodes I, II, and III?

Prequels had a bunch of designs that didn't blend with the OT designs at all, like the Naboo ships which had the smooth, shiny design of 40s/50s sci fi rather than the grungy 70s/80s sci fi style of the OT ships.

B-wings were made for coordinated attacks on capital ships, to destroy or cripple them to allow the ships they were escorting a way through. they were blockade breakers. if the Star Destroyers are cruisers and carriers, B-Wings are torpedo destroyers.

The whole situation is a fucking legal mess.

Factor 5 went bankrupt and their employees sued them for not being paid for their work in the game.

Factor 5 then changed it's name to White Harvest to avoid (or delay) their legal issues, finish the game and seek a publisher for the game but apparently no one wanted to publish it.

Then Lucas arts acquired the rights to the game but it was during the Disney sellout thing, so then Lucas Arts went defunct.

I doubt that game ever comes out unless it gets leaked.

I wouldn't say she's a Mary Sue, she just has no personality, other than "I can do everything!"

Her entire character is "I must wait for family!"

THE END!

If they had spent the whole movie showing her personal struggles, she would've been interesting. But instead she's got a hackneyed excuse to never have left Jakku, even though it was super easy for her, and then they decide they don't need it anymore and so she no longer has any problems ever again.

Like I said, incredibly boring.

She ran away when she was first told to be a Jedi though. Also Luke was a Mary Sue in IV it wasn't until V where his weaknesses were explored.
>>
>>322995550
Too slow. They're for attacking bigger ships but are up shit's creek in dogfights.
>>
>>322995558
Yeah, I noticed she's not really that bad at anything. She knows how to fight, fly, fix things, even teachs herself how to use some force powers. Finn at least has the urge to run away and escape; Poe was barely in the movie enough to get much of a read on him other than "wise-cracking pilot."
>>
>>322995647
>monkeys at typewriters fallacy
>>
>>322995659
Not to mention she can pull the lightsaber away from Kylo when it took Luke two fucking movies to just barely be able to do that with no one else trying to pull it

>Not delaying your level ups until you can spend your feats on Jedi powers

It's not Rey's fault that she knows how to play the game.
>>
>>322995659
The Force is about belief, faggot. Literally the only thing stopping Luke from lifting that X-Wing out of the swamp was his own self-doubt.

That's the prequels making you think that to be a jedi you need to go to 20 years of Yoda school
>>
>>322995558
She actually was being set up to be a dumb kid like Luke desperate for some kind of parental affection and that would have been fine if they kept with it instead of turning her into the Jedi Wunderkind Sue in the second half of the movie.
>>
>>322995638

>>322995550
They can dogfight, but they're as slow as Y-Wings and not very maneuverable, even with their heavy shields they'd be cut to pieces by faster more agile opponents. Their primary role is killing capital ships.
>>
>>322995749
>Also Luke was a Mary Sue in IV
Luke spends the entire first half of the movie getting pushed around, and the second half of the movie getting in the way. He does exactly two things right, he convinces Han to help save Leia, and blows up the Death Star (after nearly dying three times on the flight because he's an above average pilot at best).

He's also a character with actual emotions and goals.

I'm not appealing to the idea that it's impossible, I'm mocking you for being so stupid you judge the entire EU by Luuke Skywalker, cloned Sheev and the edgy sadomasochists from another galaxy. I've read lots of good and lots of bad Star Wars stories.

>>322995770
Finn having the urge to run away is stupid too.

>Supposedly brainwashed your whole life to support the First Order

R E T A R D E D

It should've been a gradual transition, that escape scene felt like it should've been halfway through the movie instead of at the beginning

>>322995978
Don't forget,

>gets his best friend killed because his best strategy is GOTTA GO FAST
>>
>>322995978
Not to mention his experience with flying is said in the movie itself with that cocky "I used to bullseye womp rats with my T-16 back home" line.

As far as we know, how does Rey have experience with ANYTHING flying other than just theory?
>>
>>322995893
Too bad there was no reddit audience to appeal to at the time, and all of his shit was constrained to his character. That was the point of 3PO, to be prissy and annoying

You might genuinely be fucking retarded if you think GotG quips are anything like 3PO in the OT
>>
>>322996169
I actually would have liked to have seen some conflict in loyalties there. Like maybe the Order itself is bad, but the grunts in the trenches can be alright, so he feels bad about fighting his former brothers. Instead they all just turned into neo-nazis who immediately kick the puppy by torching that village.

Really the only reason why they didn't set it 100 years in the future was so they could nab the old fans with nostalgia.

yea your kind of right. 3PO was annoying in the OT but at least the serious characters didn't say stupid marvel shit during serious moments, I get what you mean.

In the novel based on the movie and released before the movie, Wedge instantly mocks him for comparing the Death Star to rodent hunting. Keep in mind this novel contains many scenes that were cut from the movie like Luke and Biggs talking on Tatooine before Luke buys the droids.

Rogue Leader, no question

Rebel Strike is ruined by prequel shit and too many on foot segments
>>

General Wedge Antilles doesn't lose battles even when he tries.

>>322996260
Also
>"I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself"

It's well established he knows how to fly a T-14, which is basically like going from a Buick to a Mercedes.

Rogue Leader. Rebel Strike suffers from shitty ground levels, and the worst VA for Wedge. Rogue Leader doesn't overstay its welcome and has a shit ton of replayability without having any outright negative aspects.
>>322996779
Aspects from the prequels didn't negatively impact Rebel Strike, they've always been a part of the series.

I never, ever beat the second Tatooine mission. Hard as fucking balls.

Except for Gardula's palace and Longo Two-Guns. I beat them both.

That is because Turbolasers are designed to destroy capital ships. The Death Star is designed to defend against a large scale assault by a fleet. No one would have expected a starfighter to be able to destroy the DS

mate you know you can't stop me from reading it in The Incom T-65 X-Wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star. An almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive sheilds, makes this the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron, except when the mission profile disallows it. In addition to 4 blaster cannons, the X-wing can carry a number of proton torpedoes. It's power by 4 fusial trhust engines, and requires an on-board astromech droid for peak performance.

Destroying Starkiller was very much like Death star, but at least First Order though of putting a cover on their explosive shaft.

There were precautions in place in EP. 6 The Shield Generator made it so starfighters couldnt get through (plus what else did you expect the Empire to do, it wasnt finished yet)

and in EP. 7 the starfighters were unable to get through the armor defending the critical location. Ha it not been for Han's team the Resistance fighters would have failed. Same in Ep 6.

That scene still feels weirdly specified to me. Why was this particular nameless trooper armed with the baton? Why was he the only one who cared enough about Finn's treachery to go mano-a-mano with him? And if this particular guy had history with Finn, why didn't Finn react in any personal way to him? It almost feels like it wasn't supposed to be a trooper but the ugly GoT chick or even Kylo Ren, but something fucked up.

And Vader wasn't? The point of redemption is that you can never be too far gone, you can only work to make up for your past sins. Kylo rejoining the light and helping destroy the First Order would be a far better redemption than repenting when he's already about to die.

Man, that was such a retarded scene. Why do you need to see into space? Why isn't the command bridge located in the interior of the ship, underneath tonnes of armour? Was that the observation deck, or the actual bridge?

Pre-missile ships had an unarmoured observation deck and then a heavily armoured command bridge located at the top of the hull. The command bridge was usually the second best protected part of a warship, after the turrets and the hull.

Well, the bridge did have shields, but they lost them when that one A-Wing blew up the generator. That's why the admiral ordered forward firepower intensified.

That said, you'd think a ship that big would have a secondary bridge of some sort. Galaxy-class starships had them, and they're nowhere near as big as a Super Star Destroyer.
>>
>>323022074
The better question is why a huge space ship with scanners capable of detecting things lightyears away and which's engagement ranges will invariably be hundreds of kilometres at least even need a bridge on the outside of the ship with windows.

>>323022074
The way they explain it in some EU wankery is that it did have a battle bridge like the aforementioned Galaxy-class but it was pulled into the Death Star 2 before control of the ship could be reestablished. It was a couple of seconds tops in the movie, in all fairness.

He was a riot control stormtrooper.

The brilliance of the scene is that JJ wanted Finn to fight a stormtrooper, so he found a way within the story and used the characters to justify it -- a random stormtrooper recognized Finn and wanted to beat the traitor into the ground. It's not much, but it's better than the prequels "hurr durr Jedi cut 'em up like butter" and absolutely zero of the lightsaber fights besides Anakin vs Obi wan are justified by the story and just exist for the sake of having a lighstaber duel

I like the design but they feel a bit silly as a dedicated Jedi craft. I'll buy the Jedi Starfighter but this feels a little too far. It also just looks dumb to see them sitting in the cockpits in their full robes.
>>
>>323025673
>so he found a way within the story and used the characters to justify it

Why was there a "riot control storm trooper" there? It wasn't a riot, the first order was attacking rebel agents. In the previous imperial attacks we never saw anyone with this weapon. In fact, we never saw that weapon before or since, and his weapon would have been completely useless against people with blasters, which every other storm trooper and every other rebel in the fight had.

Most of the fights with light saber duels and people shooting at each others with blasters is unnecessary for the plot. This was unnecessary AND makes no sense.
>>
>>323026471
>This was unnecessary AND makes no sense.

It was more of Abram's stupid rule of cool stuff. Finn was some random dude with a lightsaber, just freaking shoot him, he can't block blasters with that shit.
>>
>>323025673
I liked how there was some effort made to make the stormtroopers look dangerous.

During the village raid at the start of the film, they fight furiously and wreck the villagers as you'd expect. You see them using flamethrowers, heavy weapons and working in teams.

Later when the Incan temple tavern place gets shot up you again see them working as pretty effective shock troopers. They strike hard and fast and put air superiority to good use, at least until the Resistance arrives.

TR-8R fighting Finn was great. One on one, he calls out then takes on a guy with a lightsaber and completely overpowers him. He would have killed Finn if Han didn't intervene.

However, they still don't seem to pose any threat to Han, Chewie or Rey. Han and Chewie blast them by the dozen and never seem in any real danger throughout the film. Hell, even the space gangsters managed to hit Chewie once. Rey goes from having never fired a blaster before to acing stormtroopers one after another, while standing in the open as the troopers fire back.

And for the fourth film in a row, Stormtrooper armor does jack shit. It can't even stop a shot from that little pocket pistol Han gives to Rey, what's the point of wearing it?
>>
>>323026935
With a lot of Harrison Ford's scenes I was getting the feeling that they were shooting around the fact that he's getting way too old for any kind of stunt work.

It's called being cheap anon. They had the opportunity to implement new spacecraft designs, but that would be too expensive.
>>
>>323027129
They didn't want to use new designs because the entire point of the film was "hey, remember that other movie you like? well here it is again".
>>
>>323027062
Han the character is clearly old in the film, too. Rather than tone it down for Ford's sake, they could show how Han is getting too old for this shit. Rather than giving him plot armor and protagonist-level marksmanship skills, show him using his wits to get an unfair advantage and cover his obvious physical disadvantage. He's been getting into scrapes his entire life, it's time for us to see Han's lifetime experience of dirty tricks.

Even just throwing a thermal detonator from cover would be more suitable than just one-shotting stormtrooper after stormtrooper while firing from the hip and standing in the open.
>>
>>323026935
Han probably carries blasters that pack a heavy punch because he knows he may encounter Stormtroopers and needs weapons to that can pierce it.

Modern day kevlar that soldiers wear into battle cant stop a round from an AK or M-16 but soldiers wear it because it can protect them from shrapnel from near explosions and help them survive from a 9mm. The soldier is still going down if he gets hit, he just may survive thanks to the armor. Stormtrooper armor has always operated the same way. (At least if you give a shit about a logical explanation which is mentioned in Legends. Or you can take Disney canon and say "shits and giggles")

>They're slow as balls.

That didn't stop Rogue Squadron from using Y-Wings before. It's just a cop-out.
>>
>>323027458
The T-70 X-Wings are probably better in at being bombers then Y-Wings are.

Remember the reason why Y-Wings were used as bombers isnt because they are magically awesome at the job, it is because the Rebellion had an abundance of Y-Wings since they originally used them as multirole fighters before the X-Wing, when they got the X-Wing they decided to use the increased ammo count of the Y-Wing to make it a bomber.


In shot, why would the Resistance use the Y-Wing there? what advantage would it have over the T-70? They have the same weapon, X-Wing is faster, and the upgrade to the T-70 may mean the X-Wing has the same ammo size/armor

Or why its shield generators are such large and obvious targets that can apparently be destroyed by a single interceptor-class fighter.
>>
>>323028296
Normally a fighter wouldnt be able to accomplish that task. However the SSD was getting hit on all sides causing its shields to weaken in some areas. In short the A-Wings got lucky and were able to make a run while there was a temporary whole in the shields.

Why are you getting so worked up over a space opera isnt 10/10 military tactics and engineering?
>>
>>323028681
>Why are you getting so worked up over a space opera isnt 10/10 military tactics and engineering?

Yeah, that's a fair point. I actually like how Star Wars is more of a fantasy in space than hard sci-fi, but even then, you need things to have some internal logic. An interceptor killing a SSD is roughly equivalent to a peasant killing a dragon with a mundane, non-magical dagger, which I'd also have a problem with. But like you said, they got lucky, just as our hypothetical peasant might.
>>
>>323029015
And if they'd actually added a few lines to explain the SSD's shield loss giving an opening, I would have been okay with it. Ackbar does order everyone to focus fire on it, but it goes straight from that line to the A-wings hitting the generator. You could have just added a couple of lines where a guy says "There's a break in the shields! All fighters attack the generators!"
>>
>>323029015
Exactly. Its not really meant to be taken too seriously. The EU sometimes likes to step in and help provide some explanations for the weird stuff like scene related because the movies dont bother to cover it because it isnt important to the story being told in the movies.

>>323029196
I always wished the 2 scenes had been flipped. It would have really helped that scene make more sense if like you said, it went Ackbar orders concentration of fire > A-Wings attack > SSD Bridge crew status update.

I think it would have helped out a lot.
