>Lucas had secret kino instincts
It's no secret anon. People are just retarded.

>But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’

>“So everybody’s like, ‘No, he’s gotta be f---ing with us.’ He’s absolutely not. So when something like that happened – in the middle of the campaign, mind you – we have to go back through that entire naming convention again… from scratch.” From that second session, Jet Brody was born. Coincidentally. Jett is the name of Lucas’ son.

>A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. “[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning,” a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader’s apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn’t happen often.

>“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

>>79942892

Eh. What the PT will likely get remembered for is excellent concepts and shit execution.

>>79942501
And yet he wasted all that time focusing on two fighters to the exclusion of everything else happening around them. Hack.

Battle of Endor was a better fleet action by far, but aspies and prequel-loving newfags will suck Lucas's veiny penis because of all the dazzling lights and sounds of RotS's pathetic excuse for a ship battle sequence.

It sounds like he's trying to stimulate their creativity. He and Spielberg would riff on ideas all the time but I imagine he didn't get that with the new crew, who appeared to simply revile him in return for everything he gave them to work with.

You can see them delivering the maquette of Dexter Jettster to Lucas and the whole crew look set to laugh in his face. It's unfortunate that they took that perspective while they were working with him.

>>79943159

>>79943450

Lucas is right in the sense that what actually makes Submarine fights interesting is the character drama, not the action itself. Its the emotional attachments we have to the crew, the close-ups of their faces dripping with anxious sweat, hands shaking with nerves as the torpedo barely misses by the hair on their balls. Its the utter silence on the bridge as they try to avoid being detected by enemy radar.

If all the submarine battles im those famous movies had been nothing but exterior shots of the subs firing torpedos and lazily drifting through the water, they would have all been boring as fuck to watch.

>>79943967
Obviously Lucas didn't go for the far superior, more dramatic and tension filled submarine approach because the prequels had no characters, let alone emotional attachments.

Imagine a space battle the two capital ships try to use space debris or planets or moones or whatever as cover, where they deactivate certain systems and don't move to be harder to detect. Where we see the crew members doing their jobs and everybody has to perform perfectly or they all could die. Panic and excitement and tension. So many awesome ideas and concepts that could make for some really tense space battles and Lucas went the retarded close-up lazor pew pew route. That guy has no business working on anything that requires creativity.

Why even bother having manned ships? Just attach an engine to a big gun or even a super powerful bomb. Then you don't have to lose thousands of men everytime one of your attack ship gets shot down. A huge, manned ship only makes sense if you can protect it, like keeping it out of direct combat. Flying it into the middle of a battle is just careless. The idea behind projectile weapons is that they work from far away. Especially in space. Make use of that.

>>79942501
It was a solid scene. Not at all realistic, but Star Wars is fantasy not sci-fi.

>>79944089

That's all well and good, but it's also neither here nor there. The context of his quote is that he wanted to show a (brief) scene of two capital ships duking it out before cutting away to what the actual focus of the movie was (Anakin and Obi-Wan's mission).

The two capital ships are not the focus of the movie, the scenes of them fighting were supposed to be nothing more than a few seconds of spectacle. In that situation there is no time to inject the tension that would make a slow methodical combat look entertaining.

>>79944400
The reason we didn't get such a scene, aside from Lucas probably not even being able to think further than pewpew, is because it hasn't been properly set up. He wanted Ep3 to start with a big space battle and what we got is a torrent of ugly CGI vomit without any emotional investment on the screen. Had he bothered to establish a character that works on such a ship in the previous movie or movies, we could have had a scene where we follow that character during that battle, where we see what they do and what happens aboard the ship and where there would be tension because we know that character and would probably hope that they make it.
Lucas didn't think ahead, as usual, so we ended up with a space battle that's only memorable because of some long beginning shot.

wew

Realistically, engagement ranges would be on the order of tens/hundreds of kilometers, not more, and they'd be mostly linear.
Weapons are largely ineffective farther away, but since range is a tremendous advantage, no one will survive a prolonged closer encounter. Unless your intercept is retrograde, one side will die before anyone can maneuver appreciably closer or farther. The battle space is also mostly linear (two sides facing off across a no-one's-land). A battle "line" is really a 2D plane in space, but aside from this, it's not much different. 2D-thinking (or even 1D thinking) is quite sufficient. While ostensibly space is 3D, when you're flying a real ship, you have delta-v constraints. The space of engagement is large relative to that, and your acceleration is slow to boot (given you have a low-thrust, high-ISP engine). Additionally, since you're probably rendezvousing from a different orbit, you'll have a single dominant direction of approach. You spread out when you attack, sure, but if you're at the distance where you can completely outflank your opponent, you're at a distance where both sides have long since torn gaping holes through each other with kinetic slugs.
As a direct result of the above, the only purpose for thrusting at all is to dodge k-slugs. You can't do it very well, though, since unpredictably dodging requires rotation--but rotation is slow, and costs lots of delta-v. Moreover, to move laterally probably means turning, which means exposing your flank to the enemy. That makes you a bigger target.

hes a funnier character than we've ever had

>>79945200
Please tell me that was a copy paste and not your autism oozing

>>79945200
if the travel time for their kinetic weapon is 200 seconds, you only have to change direction by a few degrees every 200 seconds and guarantee you will never be hit

guided missile projectiles would easily be intercepted by point defence missiles ala modern naval combat

therefore you would have to close to within a few kilometers to engage with rkv

>>79945014

Checkmate, atheists.

>>79942501
The problem wasn't the idea of the battle, the problem was shit like

>Anakin: wtf I love clones now! I'm a good guy!
>Obi-Wun: no they're expendable fucking shits, R2 zap those eye robot things

And it really only existed as a brief opening sequence, most of the "introduction" takes place inside one ship.

>>79942727
Broken clock, etc. Lucas has the occasional good idea, he just needs people around to filter out the crap and turn it into something presentable.

>>79945484
In reality, you wouldn't fire a single k-slug, but a barrage of tiny projectiles, each probably smaller than 5mm. Imagine super high velocity buckshot. The spread would make dodging pretty much impossible, even if your engines could accelerate you fast enough because you still wouldn't be able to scan or even calculate the trajectory of those tiny projectiles.

>>79945603
>but a barrage of tiny projectiles, each probably smaller than 5mm. Imagine super high velocity buckshot. The spread would make dodging pretty much impossible,

WRONG inverse square law says that idea is ludicrous.
over hundreds of kilometres of distance the amount of 5mm projectiles you would need to fire would outmass your ship

not only that, but it would be very easy to armour against 5mm projectiles, even travelling at very high relative speeds; and depending on the design of the target a 5mm hole wouldn't actually do anything relevant anyay

>you cant detect 5mm projectile
you very easily can with radar
and you dont even need to, just keep changing direction every x seconds. x being projectile travel time between you and your opponent

>>79945663
The computer could easily calculate a targeting solution. You wouldn't need to cover your entire field of view in buckshot. You know how the enemy ship moves and at what speed. You know how fast they can change course or accelerate or decelerate. A couple hundred projectiles over an area of a thousand square kilometers is not too difficult.

>>79945770
if they change 1 degree vs 2 degrees heading the amount of space you need to cover is dozens of square kilometers atleast, you are not covering that much area with 'space buckshot'. Like I said you would need to fire millions to billions of projectiles

Has there ever been a group of missiles swatted out of the sky by something like a CIWS?

>>79946051
there haven't been many modern naval combats.
everytime decoys like chaff and flares were used, it fooled the missile

there have only been a few missile to missile interceptions in combat, a tail chase engagement of an iraqi silkworm by a RN destroyer. And recently an over the horizon intercept using ir terminal seeker by a US destroyer intercepting missiles fired by rebels

but there has been hundreds of test interceptions and such

Which is why Casaba howitzer armed missiles make sense. Use the missiles maneuverability to close to just outside point defense range activate the warhead, which is designed to act like a nuclear shaped charge, by turning a lump of tungsten at one end into plasma. Good luck to anyone trying to dodge that

>>79946423
The 'beam' (for want of a better term) of a Casaba though would (theoretically (given that one has never been tested) be able to travel hundreds of kilometers though, that's the beauty of it, it's essentially a missile that turns itself into a particle beam weapon when it gets too close

File: casabaDiagram01.png (63KB, 640x480px) Image search: [Google]

63KB, 640x480px

Missiles are hindered by the requirement to track the target and follow until impact. Lasers are increasingly effective as missiles close the distance to their target. Past a certain point, any missile touched by a laser is quickly destroyed. So quickly, that a laser defense's primary limitation is the time it takes to switch targets. In other words, a laser defense sets up a 'death zone' around itself, within which any wave of missiles will quickly be annihilated.

A combination of efficient lasers, multiple turrets and competent target handling can cut through hundreds of missiles.

The counter to this, on the missile side, is to perform randomized high-acceleration maneuvers called 'jinks'. This tactic is already used today by sea-skimming missiles once they enter the range of CIWS defenses. The problem is, in space this requires the missile to have powerful thrusters, lots of propellant and active, autonomous sensors that survive to the terminal stage of its attack. This means that missiles will end up being heavy, hard to bring up to speed, large (easy to track and hit) and expensive due to on-board electronics. These are all characteristics you want to avoid when trying to make massive waves of missiles economical, or if jinking through the death zone.

Using a Casaba Howitzer warhead solves this conundrum.

It allows missiles to deal damage from outside the death zone. It also removes the requirement of saving propellant for the terminal stage, or even the necessity of accelerating up to a high velocity intercept. At allows missiles to be lighter and smaller. Depending on the price of the nuclear technology, a few Casaba-Howitzer missiles may be cheaper than multitudes of kinetic impactors.

>>79946568
nigger go back to /sci/ youre too smrtt for this place, we dont want you here

>>79946568
I agree that Casaba howitzer is superior to normal missiles, but the long-range laser defence zone is also the very long range missile intercept zone

unless the casaba howitzers charge can hit from more than 50% of the distance between the two combatants its still in grave danger of being intercepted

and now that I think about it, maybe the interceptor missiles could have casaba howitzers themselves, complicating things further

your image assumes that the targets defences are built around defending against tradition missiles even though casaba howitzers are being used.

>>79946723
You'd have to add thrusters + fuel to the plates, which would mean they couldn't be as large as simply adding more armour to your own ship directly

Close quarters capital ship combat makes some sense, its a risky strategy but if you can get close enough so your weapons array are inside the enemies shield, you can unload onto their defenseless hull.

much more effective per volume than having it stuck to your ship

its literally impossible for fixed armour to be more efficient than my moving armour as long as the propulsion on the armour is less than 50% of its mass

the same rules with efficiency still count with an all or nothing armour scheme

moveable armour is more efficient as long as you are attacking less surface area than whatever percentage of the armours mass is taken up by non-useful things like thrusters and things. a good estimate is 25-50%, and as casaba howitzers are DEW; it will be more efficient

The Clone Wars did epic space battles a lot better.

Why not just a bunch of missiles loaded with buckshot? You use them to get close and detonate them moments after entering the "death zone". The explode their load directed at the spaceship. And even if they get destroyed before they can detonate, the buckshot will keep going, possibly hitting them.

I am so uncultured. I have never seen this scene or film. That was amazing. Skipping class to watch war movies right now.

>>79947396
because the death zones extends for hundreds of kilometres thanks to missiles and lasers, and the inverse square law says you need a ludicrous amount of 'buckshot' to hit a target that far away let alone manoeuvring

>>79947485
What if you shoot with a dozen miniguns? No spread, just direct aiming with calculations.

>>79947513
if they are 200 seconds of bullet travel from you, if they change direction slightly once every 200 seconds you literally cannot hit them

>>79943801
How do you mean?

Wouldn't that block electrical and light signals in yours hip though? I don't know what blasters actually fire or if proton torpedoes and things can go through a capital ship's shields, but surely having a barrier running through your ship would block all kinds of signals and electrics.

>Han's first reaction is to try and kill Vader
Why don't they do this in any other movie? Usually the heroes just stand like retards while the villain gloats with his guard down.

Even the Prequels are guilty of this. I mean when the hangar doors opened and Maul was standing there why didn't the Naboo soldiers just unload on him while Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan keep his blades occupied so he can't deflect the bullets?

Han's a different type a guy.
He killed some silly looking alien kid for shittalking him in a bar, remember.

This

>>79948016
That was basically Ben. He just chopped up the arms of two guys who were just busting some balls of a naive farm boy, when some Jedi ju jitsu would have been enough.

Greedo was kinda there to either kill Han or bring him in to Jabba.

>Greedo was kinda there to either kill Han or bring him in to Jabba.
Han didn't wait to see, just like he didn't wait to see whether Vader was there to either kill him or anyone else or bring them to Big I.

>>79947237
depends on your output, their ablative shielding (even ice on the outside of your hull works against lasers) and how good your focus is, but realistically, space combat would be efficient use of missiles and trying to get one to actually hit

>>79942501
>much like submarine movies, which aren't known for exciting battles. It wouldn't have conveyed the tension and energy I wanted the scene to have.
What is he fucking gay? Das Boot had thousands of times the tension compared to this videogame cutscene

>>79948725
As if Lucas even knew what the fuck he's talking about.

>>79947282
Doesn't that only apply if the beam spreads out? Couldn't you focus microwaves into a microwave beam that would remain a stright and focused beam like with a laser?

>>79942501
Yeah, he's completely right. I think he overdid it with the sheer number of ships, but the idea of having them so close to each other for dramatic effect makes sense.

>>79950098
No

>t.Lucas

Of course. I loved tge scene tge moment it opened tge movie. Really high octane stuff

>>79942501
>>79942501
Yeah the scene was fine.

It's not like star wars was hard sci fi.

I would think long range warfare where you don't know if you're going to get hit or not would be rather more tense. Especially considering a single direct hit would probably have you fucked up.

>>79942501
He already did this in Jedi only it was 100 times better than the contextless gimmick filled clusterfuck

This video is retarded and so are you. Copying shit better filmmakers did in previous films makes you a genius? Then JJ Abrams must be a savant for making such a masterpiece as Force Awakens
