Are we really supposed to believe that the rebels actually won this fight? There's simply no realistic way they could have escaped this without getting their ass kicked.
Also, why didn't they immediately re-enter hyperspace once they realized it was a trap?
>>85992327
How many ships did the Rebels have? How well were their cruisers armed compared to Star Destroyers? I'm sure there's 8 million EU books about that.
>Also, why didn't they immediately re-enter hyperspace once they realized it was a trap?
Did you watch the fucking movie before complaining? Admiral Ackbar tells the fleet to retreat. Then Lando convinces them they need to give Han more time.
>>85992327

>19 Kilometres long
Not this argument.
No one ever decided on the true length.
Once the Death Star fell the Empire went into disarray and the rebels got the upper hand once they decided to retreat.
>>85992445
They are shown with only two cruisers in the beginning
>>85992505
Did you?
>>85992545
It's still 19. It's at least over 17 by film.
>>85992558
Later during the battle you can count like 15 of them, they have superior shielding but weaker armament compared to ISD.
>>85993039
>Later during the battle you can count like 15 of them
so they multiply themselves during the battle for no reason and that makes the scene better?

You forgot that each Star Destroyer should have had at least a 100 tie-fighters each. Not to mention the Death Star 2 should have been able to crew thousands of them.
While we only see a single wing attack the rebels.

That hundred ties was always such bullshit. A Nimitz carries a hundred craft and isds are countless times larger.
>>85992327
Are Star Destroyers LITERALLY the stupidest design in all of history?

Another draw back is that they apparently have to fly the right way up.
I don't think the artificial gravity system they have in Star Wars is really worth the tactical tradeoff.
>>85992327
Easy.
Just concentrate all fire on that SUPAH STAAR DESTROYA
We need to go bigger

Once they decide to stay and fight it out Ackbar sends out a galaxywide emergency message calling for every combat capable rebel ship to get to Endor ASAP.
There's single capital ships and fighter squadrons hyperspacing in all the time.
EU book source of course but it fits right in.

in the games the empire has ships called interdictors that stop ships from going to hyperspace

gravity well projectors from an interdictor class

It's because all of the Bwings were blowing up a Star destroyer. Look at the background of his picture. There is a deleted scene of them doing it.

thats what the iron cannons were shooting
>>85992327
emperor was using battle meditation the whole fight till he died and the fleet went into disarray from the shock
Tie fighters are inferior to rebel starfighters, any type really. Ties only win by mass numbers. Regular ties dont have shields and only have blasters, no missiles. In a straight fight, xwings would always win.
>>85995899
it's actually the Death Star which is the stupidest design. The only reason the empire even made one was for ambiguous evil Sith reasons. It was already explained a single Star Destroyer could level a planet. Instead of building the Death Star the empire could have built 1000 Star Destoryers.

Why?
>>85998487
Doesn't Han say it would take the entire Imperial fleet to destroy a planet?
>>85999638
You could destroy a planet by throwing a large rock at it.

Sssh mass drivers are a secret high tech weapon. You can't just go to the asteroid belt of any random system and start flinging huge rocks as soon as you get any kind of FTL drive. Cmon. That's unfair.
>>85998207
"The star destroyers are a mile long." -- the commandment from on high
"Well, make this super star destroyer 10x as big, or 10 miles long"
Everything else is just idiots playing with pixels and guessing when there's no need to guess.
>>85998010
Aren't those EU?
>>86001029
You see Interdictors in Rogue One.
Star destroyers vary in size, from 3500-4000 meters to 7000+ meters, depending on the type. They are capable of leveling a planet through bombardment, but clearly the death star is more efficient and doesnt take nearly as much time.
