How does a Jedi stop a flamethrower?!
force breath
Jam the nozzle with force powers I guess.
Force your way through.
With the high ground
>>63179536
Force choke the gas tube?
Or would that be something only a Sith could do?
Can Jedi force choke and just choose not to?
like this

Luke force choked a pig man in ROTJ.
Mind trick.
Force speed / push.
>>63179597
Mace Windu force choked Grevious and crushed his chest which is why Grevious coughs and jokes.
>>63179536
force the enemy to stop using it
>>63179602
>C3PO's head being put on a battle droid
Why did you remind me of this movie
force:airport foam? hehe
That is spewing out liquid so a quick force push would throw it right back onto the user.
>>63179536
Theoretically a powerful enough jedi could simply absorb the energy from the flame the same way Vader absorbs Han's laser in Empire Strikes Back. Alternatively they might be able to redirect the actual burning material with the force, disarm the wielder of the flamethrower or destroy it from a distance .
>>63180229
>Theoretically
>>63180274
Well obviously we haven't seen any jedi fight people wielding flamethrowers like that yet so anything we can think of is only speculation.
>>63179536
By dodging it
Why do flamethrowers look so fucking stupid in Star wars? Like something just doesn't add up.
>>63180130
>coughs and jokes
did Dindu hit his funny bone?
>>63180344
Because it's militarily sound and shit making sense in Star Wars is jarring
>>63180344
Do you think they burned Owen and Beru with water?
>>63180344
Gotta be prepared for many different types of atmospheres.
>>63180436
Obi Wan did it, he developed a fetish for burning people after the Mustafar incident
Force pushes the fire away/back at the person.
If you want to kill Jedi, use ballistic weapons. They can't reflect the bullet at all, let alone back at you. Something like a spike grenade would be a bane to Jedi. Also you can make a case that the shots from blasters are not supersonic, and that even with premonition, your typical Jedi (human ones at least) are simply not physically capable of dodging or moving their saber to block something moving that fast.
Alternatively but only brushed upon in the setting, radiation weapons. Can't use the force, can't even light saber block radiation.
>>63179536
throw your aunt and uncle at them?
>>63180130
Isn't that EU?
>>63180563
Not anymore than the 3DCG show
>>63180498
>They can't reflect the bullet at all, let alone back at you
Why not? A strong enough Jedi can throw a spaceship at another spaceship
>>63180498
shut up nerd faggot
>>63180467
Luke, did I ever tell you about when I burned your foster parents into dust for pure sexual reasons and made it seem like it was the Empires doing?
They were good friends.
>>63180605
They probably had some Armin Meiwes kind of deal going.
Sick fucks.
>>63179536
force bend the tip smart guy. or force pinch one of the hoses
>>63180579
Because the metal bullet would hit the lightsaber, melt and keep going, possibly hitting the Jedi.
At any rate it can't be reflected back like a blaster shot.
its just burning liquid so force push it into the flametrooper
but for some reason nobody in star wars uses the force for anything besides telekinetic pulses of push power and the occassional lifting job
oh and force lightning i guess
>>63180769
it would be disintegrated by the lightsaber retard
the bullet would be evaporated
>>63179536
He uses a flamethrower made of ice.
>>63180807
>>63180229
>Vader absorbs Han's laser in Empire Strikes Back.
You think that was due to Vader's powers as opposed to his armour?
Fire is probably one of the easiest things to force fuccboi
>>63180796
>Light sabers outright disintegrate metal
Why then they have to struggle to cut through metal doors and such, and molten metal residue is left over after?
>>63179602
Catching fire and running away without your robe isn't exactly stopping it.
>>63180769
You don't think they can stop the bullet with the force and then throw it back?
It's been shown already that Jedi can stop objects in mid-air, and toss them.
>>63180951
I'm not saying that they can't stop a bullet with the force and hurl it back. I'm saying that humans just don't have the brain power, even with the force/precognition, to be able to process a bullet going supersonic. Not at relatively close range, like most Star Wars encounters happen.
>>63180987
They can emit a field that can redirect things, even at close range. It just takes a lot of focus to do it.
But one with that level of power wouldn't let anyone get close to begin with.
>>63180987
>I'm saying that humans just don't have the brain power, even with the force/precognition, to be able to process a bullet going supersonic.
They can
It's easy. Any Jedi can do it. In fact, it's so easy that Sith and Jedi have been trolling flamethrower-dude for years by using the most elaborate and absurd combos in their arsenal just to show off.
Magnet Trick to deflect the flame+Spinning Trick to create a flame whirl+Magnet Trick again to gain High Ground by putting the flame whirl over the flame dude+POV Trick to burn the guy who wanted to burn them+Magnet Trick so the flames will push the dude in the air+POV Trick so that from the Force user's point of view, they still have the High Ground+Spinning Trick to make the dude flip in the air as he is pushed by the flames
For example.
>>63180987
They can create a "Force Shield" around their whole body, as per the new Disney canon. They can also slow their perception of time.
>>63180987
At relatively close range, a bullet doesn't have the time to go supersonic. It takes distance for it to do that.
>>63180923
Did he stay on fire ? No, thats means he stopped it.
>>63179597
Easier to push the thrower to the side in his hands, burning the troopers next to him and splitting the fucker with a light saber.
>>63181220
Was the flamethrower still operation imparting the user a strategic advantage?
It was not stopped, it wasn't even thwarted, let alone foiled, because the attack was successful, although one could say it was hindered, maybe if you sacrificed enough jedi robes along with various other garments and adornments, you could actually stop it.
It's Star fuckin' Wars... why would that flamethrowing guy need a bulky backpack? Boba had a wrist flamethrower ffs. Flamethrowers are fine, but this one looks even more bulky than the ones irl.
>>63181489
Wrist flamethrower = small range and little damage
Backpack flamethrower = massive range, massive damage, more potent fuel, more capacity, possibility for multiple different fuels, etc
I mean I don't expect them to make anything realistic, but still
Also IRL flamethrowers had more than 10m range even back in WW2
>>63181195
Is this bait? Muzzle velocity is the fastest point in a bullets trajectory.
>>63181195
The average bullet travels at 2,500 feet per second (around 1,700 mph). If you reacted to the sound of the gun going off and required 0.20 seconds (twice that of the fastest Olympic sprinters) to react, then you would need to be at least 500 feet away to successfully dodge a bullet.
>>63181666
Not in an action movie.
>>63181195
Basic ballistic knowledge will tell you that drag and gravity slow bullets down. The further they fly, the slower they get.
>>63181666
>feet per second
>miles per hour
amerikekoldistanis lmao
>>63181536
Go back to /k/ you fucking autistic nerd. If I wanted to learn about flamethrowers I would look it up on wikipedia
>>63181829
I'm sorry that you have problems with the conversion system from mph to kph.
At least you laugh at your shortcomings.
>>63181489
bobba had weak shit flamethrowers on his wrists, not much more powerful than a deoderant can and lighter
>>63181489
This is like saying "why would you need a high-capacity rifle when you have a pistol?"
>>63181873
I don't visit that shithole of a board tho
>>63180987
The Force was better than a targeting computer when Luke destroyed the Death Star
>>63180498
Bullets are solid and susceptible to telekinesis.

>learning retarded numerical systems
For what purpose?
90% of the world uses logical numerical systems.
You are almost alone in your retardation, America.
>>63179536
With the Force. What kind of dumb question is this?
>>63181942
Even when shit was Imperial everywhere Americans had to be special snowflakes and invent American Gallons
>>63181891
>trouble
I neither want, nor need to, so I don't see how I would be in trouble
>>63181942
You act like it's my fault.
At least we have retards like you to keep us from being so ronery.
>>63180884
in the (non-canon) sw:tor cinematic, a jedi stops a lightsaber blade with her palm in the same way.
https://youtu.be/NuNvCOUy1Ts?t=536
>>63180498
Really, it's retarded for jedi not to use blasters and ranged weapons.
Imagine how useful that would be combined with the powers of premonition.
You'd know when to come out of cover, when to duck into cover, when to shoot, where to shoot, you would never miss with the precision of a jedi.
Lucas is a fucking hack.
>>63181990
TOR is shit but this is what a jedi duel should look like
That thermal detonator was weak as fuck tho
>>63180769
>melt and keep going, possibly hitting the Jedi.
What? The bullet just wouldn't go through, where in any of the movies does a lightsabre just ghost through an object?
>>63180578
>Not anymore than the 3DCG show
Actually yes. The 3DCG shows are official cannon, the Gendy show is not.
>>63182026
it looked like a thermal detonator but was probably just an ion grenade
>>63182056
*tip*
On the "why is the flamethrower so big" thing:
They're not being used for direct combat like Jango's handheld thing. They're being used for infrastructure damage/perimeter setting. Notice they're burning huts in a vague "ring" around the designated target site.
It's battlefield control, and they operate as support units. The troopers with the guns and/or electro - batons are the avsctual fighters.
>>63182221
But it's sci-fi. Why not have a flamthrower with no backpack? I know the tech of the new SW reflects the OT and it's 70s/80s-ness, but even then a sci-fi movie would have taken the huge backpack out.
>>63179602
>that guy that jumps at Dooku only to get btfo by another dude with a blaster
never ceases to be funny.
>>63182277
Because it looks cool
>>63179568
>Force your way through.
underrated
>>63181942
We use the same numerical system as yuropoors
>>63182029
He is relying on video game shit. There's a character on KOTOR which is a robot that kills jedis and he spews shit like that.
As soon as you say "where in any of the movies" that kind of guy has no argument.
>>63179536
He shills it, then he makes a Scream Queens thread and tops it off with a good ol' Creed thread.
>>63181195
>bullets speed up during their trajectory after they have left the barrel
>>63182440
Some do
>>63182539
those are rockets
>>63179536
depends on the forceplot armour
>>63183200
Define bullet.
>>63183486
I suppose a Gyrojet falls into the bullet category. Bullet it is.
>>63179536
>big ass future space flamethrower

>>63179536
>Jedis are now a myth, the only one that survives is Luke and he disappeared
>New soldiers are provided with anti Jedi busting weapons and gears
Whats the fucking point?
>>63183731
Maybe the shock-stick isn't specifically anti-Jedi, just conveniently anti-Jedi.
Maybe it's to control Kylo Ren should they have to.
>>63179536
by force
/thread
>>63179569

he can spin the light saber fast and vent the flames away
Why would the Empire use an archaic arsenal like the flame thrower?
Don't they have napalm airstrikes?
