Name one time this has every successfully worked in weapons design.
The Maus was a failure
Project Babylon was a failure
The XB-70 Valkyrie was a failure
Tsar Bomba was a PR stunt
The Gustav Gun contributed nothing

If that isn't the nail in the coffin I don't know what is.

What's stupid about that? Any practical reason (as if practicality or realism applies at all in the Star Wars universe anyways) or do you just mean aesthetically?
>>
>>35051553
The original films were at least very entertaining and were well directed.

Also, it's not like the whole franchise is complete shite. There are interesting things like KOTR2.

Two of the original films. Let's not get crazy.

Does anyone have that drawing of the superdupermassiveultra destroyer with the account of an officer on board?
>>
>>35051869
Well maybe the Ewok thing was a little out there or something and it kind of is A new Hope in a different corset but it was still very well directed overall. The beginning was also fantastic, I think sequels rarely get the time progression right but Return of the Jedi really did a good job with showing the growth/difference of Luke.

"Hey this 20mm autocannon is working out pretty well, but imagine if we had a 30mm."

"Hey the 12-inch guns on this battleship are pretty cool, but now the other navies are also producing ships with 12-inch guns. Let's introduce a 15-inch gun to counter them."

What merit is there to a wing design? What atmosphere would be able to support it?

They need like little bedrooms or something to sleep in when you have to go from one end of the ship to the other

It looks like they stuck two star destroyer hulls together back to back.

And now it's 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, etc...

Perhaps a network of high speed rail systems are built in? Maybe the ship is mostly hollow, and you just fly on smaller aircraft inside the ship???
>>
>>35051797
The old expanded universe had some pretty good things in it, and some absolute garbage. At least, it did before Disney axed it.
>>
>>35052006
they have those tube things in all their ships that are omnidirectional.
>>
>>35050998
just take a LightSpeed (or whatever they call their unrealistic ship drives) slap an R2 unit on top, and armor it a bit. Smart Relativistic Missile. Take it out real quick.

You can just tell that somewhere within Russia's labyrinthine State Owned defense complex, there's a group of engineers furiously working day and night just to prove that an Aigaion would be feasible.

shields in star wars are so poorly defined in the movies. apparently a scud fighter can ram and cripple all imperial star destroyers

and theres one pilot in some downtrodden country's air force waiting to fucking wreck that thing in an A-10 with some hydra rockets.

Is this bullshit something they address in the new EU? Because I quit reading that a while back when the retconned Mandolorians into pacifists

Does someone have the SS fruedian nightmare? The star destroyer so big it takes a week to cross half the crew are rouge camping etc? That's a fucking great pic how lame starwars got.
>>
>>35052006
Just do it however the Imperium does it, put their quarters/everything else they need near their duty stations.
>>
>>35054965
nah. All rates live in space commieblocks near the middle of the ship, going to work by space metro. while officers live on the far side of the wings in small space suburbs, going to work by space car on space highway

>>35051050
Apparently it's going to serve as a mobile factory that builds all the first orders stuff along with being their HQ

forget which book but it basically explains it away as Palpatine having setup big operations in the unknown regions long before his death, and that's where the imperial remnants fled and regrouped over 30 years.
>>
>>35055122
Maybe the empire uses a common theme to name it's ships like the British do.

no and a old EU "imperial remnants turning into essentially hardened warlords/pirates focused on protecting their home systems from Reconstructionist New Republic Deathsquads will never happen
>you will never see grizzled storm troopers in battered, modified, and locally upgraded armor fighting for their homes against green republic conscripts sent to enforce Republic rule
>Admiral Thrawn will never run a train on the corrupt and overly bureaucratic Republic and their tinpot military
>the yuuzhan vong will never show up and ravage the Galaxy without a the strength of the galactic empire to face them and show that the rebels were always secretly the bad guys fighting against law and order for their own brand of social justice authoritarianism
>mfw as cringey as the new order was they were still cooler than the republic and good guys
>mfw the disney high budget empire is cool as shit in rogue one despite a focus on the terrorists
>>
>>35055198

I miss the dumb CIS designs.

They were so hilariously good for an entirely untested war machine throwing random shit on the wall and only having a few real practical designs (Droideka, SBD, Vulture)
>>
>>35055129
that series made canon mandalorians the (((bad guys))) and a statist surveillance state run by Mandalore Merkel the (((good guys))) because Obi Wan wanted/was fucking her/had a totally platonic mutual attraction
>>
>>35055198
Daily reminder that for all his flaws, George Lucas made better "Star Wars" movies than JJ Abrams.
>>
>>35055351
the irony is that they weren't untested. Everything the early CIS fielded was neutered private purchase (except in the core worlds where personal battle droids is illegal!) commercially available trash the trade federation used as a paramilitary security force and it fucking trounced Jedi and planetary security force alike. Jedi/Command incompetence was why such a rigid enemy was such a threat versus "the grand army of the republic" of clone super soldiers who ran without cover into enemy fire at the order of (((jedi generals))) due to neural control chips.
>>
>>35055413

They still have this ragtag "Who signed off on this?" design philosophy, which makes sense if they're forced to pick through the B-lists for gear and vehicles.

They had this cohesive "Fuck my shit up" aesthetic simply because of how everything was uniquely mismatched.

They shouldn't have been a threat to any disciplined army in the universe... Pity about the whole Pax Jedi thing.
>>
>>35055384
I made a better any film than JJ after 2 cups of coffee and 3 eggs.

He's TRASH
