>Order a bombing mission
>Don't send any bombers
Is General Leia retarded? Where the hell were the Y-Wings?
>>64203429
She's been on space cocaine for years
They didnt respond well with focus groups compared to the high positive responses associated with the X-wings
>>64203429
Because combat roles weren't even considered. Mixed sorties would have been too realistic and not casual and accessible enough for crowds.
X-Wings do carry bomb loads, but that's beside the point.
In the hangar of obsolete craft
>>64203445
Death sticks* you mongrel illeterate.
A Wing is best wing
>>64203429
The entire assault was retard level. So 10 x-wings without fleet cover infiltrate the base and manage to deliver their payloads? I mean I can suspend disbelief perfectly fine, but this just felt stupid. Atleast in ep IV and VI I got the impression the bases were actually well defended and it required a lot of sacrifice to get the strike group into position and have them fight their way through to the objective.
>>64203429
>insert justifying bullshit from the books about how the whole galaxy disarmed and the only thing Leia could get was the X-Wings she could cover on her space credit card
>>64203429
JJ literally deleted Star Trek's canon. If you expected him to give a tenth of a shit about any aspect of SW canon, you are an idiot.
Seriously, the A-wing. It was the fastest fucking fighter in the sky, and they all and abandon it?
What the fuck happened to Wedge Antilles?
>>64203445
le drugs are hilarious
>>64204237
Y Wings and A Wings aren't reddit enough
They manage to disable the shield of a whole planet by kidnapping a single soldier and gaining access to terminal guarded by 2. Ignoring the fact that HQ doesnt raise the shield again asap they dont even notice that the shield is down until a small fleet leave hyperspace and enter the atmosphere of their planet and your biggest gripe is the missing Y-Wings?
>>64204286
Carrie Fisher is an IRL crackhead.
>>64204237
I thought Poe was Wedges son?
>>64204237
The actor that played Wedge (Denis Lawson) was offered a role, but he turned it down.
>>64204237
wedge is retired my dude
he's probably telling some blue twi'lek slut how he blew up the second death star with no help from luke skywalker while he snorts cocaine and assfucks her
>>64204431
How could Finn have possibly known how to find Captain Phasma?
>>64204472
No, he's Wedge's wife's son.
>>64204728
Rey used the Force to guide him.
>>64203429
Look Mom I posted it again
>>64204550
I'm not surprised he turned it down. They were probably thinking about killing Wedge off too, and he wouldn't have any of that.
Remember, he did accept reprising his role as Wedge for Rogue Leader, so he probably doesn't hate Star Wars likeHarrison Forddoes.
>>64203643
This really. A janitor (who they blindly trust) has the key intel to make them launch an assault with a total planning time of 5 min?
Ayyyyyyy
>>64203507
>the first Star Wars was too confusing because it had Y-Wings
Are millennials really so garbage?
>>64204920
Movies need to be as simple as possible these days.
X-Wings=good
Tie Fighters=bad
Adding Y-Wings or A-Wings or Tie Interceptors is too much to expect from an audience who's probably only watching the screen 40-50% of the time and instead playing with their phone.
>>64204879
Id love to see finn as a sleeper agent, but that will never happen.
>>64204237
Based Lawson told JJ to fuck off :^)
The Resistance are a paramilitary group, not an army
>>64203429
Based on the fact that the old T-65 X-wings in the OT are retired at this point, it wouldn't surprise me that the even older Y-wings are put up as museum pieces by now. Its a real shame.
No B-Wings
:(

>>64208018
>>64203429
>Is General Leia retarded?
Yes
The rebels are all too scared to say anything against "Geriatric General" Leia. She is going senile and decomposing from the inside out. Didn't you notice her weird old face and shitty acting?
>>64208132
>>64204879
to be fair, why wouldn't they trust him? he was brainwashed since birth, and the empire is all he ever knew. Stormtoopers are usually blindly faithful
>>64203429
No. They just didn't have the resources, which should've been explained better in the film, but isn't. Basically Resistance has bare-bones funding from people who are against the First Order. So the T-70s (which are outdated already, as the Republic has T-85s as the standard multi-role now) are basically all they had available and ready to assault with.
Basically, expect more vehicles in the next movie as the Republic is likely to actually start dumping money and equipment on the Resistance.
>>64204431
this desu
entire scale was out of whack
>>64204879
They already had reports on Starkiller base, but Finn brought some additional intel.
>>64204728
she was his co and he knew where she would be at what times
but the odds of them even being in the same continent on the planet, let alone within walking distance...
>>64203445
It's called Spice.
The EU talks about special spice that makes people addicted to specific strains of the spice, so the dealers can have a monopoly over their customers.
>>64203429
It's 30 years later and X wings have always clearly been multi role fighters.
There's no bombers today so it's reasonable that the alliance only have multi roles too.
The First Order appear to have gone the same way with TIEs to boot since all their ground attack scenes were standard TIEs.
As other threads have pointed out hopefully we'll see more variation for merchandise in coming films.
>>64204839
>>64204550
>>64204593
>>64205062
Wedge Antilles was supposed to be Max Von Shadow's character.
>>64203429
Tie fighters had always been limited to close combat within the range of the Star Destroyer.
In this version of Star Wars they could also jump to light speed, which is another break from canon.
>>64209143
well there is bombers today but they're all ancient.
>>64207761
Because the dumbfuck Republic-which-deserved-to-be-wiped-out wouldn't build a proper fleet for some reason.and the resistance only has a handful of ships.
>>64204431
Why not just jump through the shields like Han?
>>64209342
Stop reminding me
>>64204550
wrong they offered a cameo and he declined it because he wanted a role.
>>64203429
The Resistance didn't have any Y-Wings and the New Republic Navy was not willing to give any up for the Resistance to use. Also the entire NR navy was destroyed because it was all around Hosnian Prime when it exploded. Can't send the "adequate" ship to a job if the ships don't exist anymore.
>>64204472
Poe's parents were two other Rebels at the height of the Rebellion. One was an A-Wing pilot that flew in the space battle of Endor (mother), while the other was a member of the strike team Han put together (father).
>>64209342
Realistically only Poe and maybe Nien Nunb would have been able to survive the crash with piloting skills. Hell, the Falcon took a rough landing and only held together because of it's size and pilot. A regular X-Wing with a shit pilot would have exploded on landing.
>>64209615
>YWN get to work in the ILM modelshop in the late 70s, glueing model kit parts on Y-wings, getting drunk and listening to ELO
>>64209342
why did han enter the atmo in the most retarded way possible? why not like pic related?
>>64209777
>>64209823
Based on how long it took for Han to stop the Falcon at the speed it was going in normal space, the ship would have just gone in the shield and crashed into the interior part of it on the top line.
>>64209892
nigga could have easily compensated and exited the jump earlier.
the right way literally provides like ten times more space.
thats some really shit justification tbqh familia.

Didn't he have to exit the jump right inside the shield, though? There is no earlier than that without crashing right into it and dying.
>TCW shows that Droideka shields only block fast moving projectiles

Pottery in reverse.
>>64210047
yes thats what im saying idiot holy fuck.
even if he stopped earlier it still would have been better than the short as fuck distance from directly approaching the planet.
how can you be so dense? are you george lucas?
>>64203429
This bothered me too, along with TIE fighters holding two people and not requiring the pilot to wear a pressure suit.
I just told myself that 30 years had passed and things were different (like >>64205864
and >>64209143 point out) and that I was being autistic.
10 X-Wings + 1 Mary Sue >>> 40+ X-Wings/Y-Wings and Cruisers
>>64203467

so basically normies are retarded and can't appreciate the different fighters of the galaxy, jesus fucking retarded assholes.

>>64210118

>>64207761
No, they attacked with more. Notice in the initial assault we see 12. Then we see a few get smoked throughout the fight. And then when Poe starts his trench run, we see 11 form up around him to lay covering fire. So it seems the initial 12 we saw going in weren't the full force, but rather just part of it, with the rest being off camera. Also Poe named 3 squadron's when they went in. Based on that, I bet there were about 36 X-Wings total, with us never being shown the full assault force. Which sucks, but lol Star Wars. It happens.
After all, you do the math of what was at Endor, and the Rebels should have been nearly instantly slaughtered.
>>64204879
No one knew he was only a janitor.
>>64208271
I'm curious how things will go with the Republic. On the one hand, they should want to go for the throat with an actual system destroyed. On he other hand, they did just get their government decapitated. It could be a total mess to muster the fleet.
The only reasonexcuseI can imagine is that in the 30 years after Endor X-wings have been so upgraded to be able to perform the task of other ships like the Y-Wing (stronger bombs) and the speed of ships like A-Wing (which btw seems really similar to the Republic Star Fighter). The low number of fighters was due to new X-wings abilities compared to old fighters (IRL example WWII bombing runs compared to Iraq II bombing runs.
>>64209754
Who said the ENTIRE fleet was around Hosnia? That seems stupid as hell. I can see a core task force, but not the entire thing. Even Death Squadron was nowhere near the Empire's full might, and that could lay waste to any solar system with ease.
>>64209978
>40
The fuck man?
They went in with one squadron of X-Wings, one of Y-Wings. 12 of each, 24 total. The original cut of ANH is all that matters there.
>>64211437
A lot of the supplementary resources for the movie say that the entire fleet was there and destroyed. The fleet itself was very small, much smaller than what was used in the pre-Empire times. Not a stretch to say that it was all blown to hell by Starkiller.
>>64203429
>Republic fleet.
>Only has X-Wings.
What happened to all those fucking capital ships they had?
>>64211534
It wasn't the Republic fleet. It's like you didn't even watch the film.
>>64211534
Resistance =/= New Republic.
The New Republic has capital ships, T-85 model X-Wings and other ships at it's disposal for peace keeping.
The Resistance only has T-70 model X-Wings and the crappy carrier we saw land on Takodana.
>>64211516
Smaller than pre-Empire? Seems impossible, since the Old Republic didn't have a standing fleet other than a few ships for tax collecting and chasing down smugglers.
And what material said this exactly? I'm starting to get back into EU material now that the endless cycled of bullshit grimdark 27 book long events is over.
>>64211630
The Rebellion LITERALLY had capital ships. Where did all those go?
>>64211658
Rebellion turned into the New Republic you idiot. Leia got fed up with the New Republic ignoring the First Order and created the Resistance all by herself with no ships to bring into from the New Republic.
>>64211705
The Resistance problem got ships Bacta War style. "Accidentally" missrouted military shipments, bought on the black market, etc.
>>64203429
Dunno, but here's some thoughts.
1. Y-wings were already old in ANH, they were bombers from the clone wars, this movie is 50-60 years later, so it makes sense Y-wings are fucking relics nobody actually uses
2. Resistance isn't the new republic and the new republic has them, like a wide variety of starships. Resistance only has a bunch of ships and mostly of one type because is a small funded group.
3. They needed fast ships that could deliver the deathly hit fast and escape quickly, Y-wings are too slow for that.
>>64204550
>>64204237
and while we're on the topic, where's Lando? Is he going to get a part in the next one? I hope so.
Especially now that (SPOILER)han is kill. Lando should come get the Falcon and Leia.
>>64203429
According to the TFA technical book, the Xwing page highlights how the vast majority of the defense industry is bought out and hoarded so all Resistance assets have to be donated by willing partners. The Resistance is literally working with a box of donated scraps because the New Republic is an ineffective corrupt piece of shit, and Xwings are basically the bottom of the barrel dime-a-dozen space fighter of the era.
>>64211633
The Rebellion had all the ships we saw at Endor, plus whatever other rebel cells had that weren't called in for the attack. They lost two MonCal cruisers to the Death Star's laser and a handful of fighter ships to TIEs. After the war, all the cells were called in and the overall Rebellion military might was cut down 90%. What was already a small amount of ships became a laughably small amount thanks to Mon Mothma.
>>64211811
They had to buy the T-70s, make them from spare parts, or hope that Senators that were fearing the FO's remilitarization would donate ships to them.
>>64209754
>Nien Nunb
Nope, fuck that space mexican, Jess is a better pilot

>>64211911
The new EU didn't have what the old did, where Endor was really the start of a full scale war between two sides? In the old after Endor the Alliance actually started to get serious captial ships to fight the galaxy wide amount of Star Destroyers still left out there. Even with Death Squadron fucked up, the Empire still had a galaxy under control.

She survived the battle against the Starkiller base, only her, Poe and two other x-wing fighters survived. She's also cuter than the main female lead.
>>64211866
Lando's son, big dick calrission (Portrayed by Terry Crews) is in episode 8, this was discussed in an earlier thead
>>64212021
After Endor, the Alliance got Star Destroyers from defecting Imperials, or outright stole them pirate-style. They didn't really last long because of the sheer amount of people it takes to just run one, let alone a few. The Alliance didn't have that many people. The fighting only lasted a full year after Endor, where the Empire got their asses beat so bad at Jakku they went for peace to end the suffering.
>>64212101
Nien Nunb also survived the attack.
>>64212071

Who wrote that garbage
>>64212136
Only a year of actual war? Sheesh. Lame. In the old EU it took about five to secure Corsuscant, and about three more for the cloned Emperor's final stand. Even after that, it was about ten more years of slow attrition before the Empire surrendered.
>>64212177
That wasn't deadpan. That was grace under immense pressure.
>>64212177
We're talking about Jess, not Rey.
>>64212210
The Empire fucked itself over in that year. Everyone and their mother wanted to become Emperor, Grand Moff or an Admiral and they went to war with the ISDs and Stormies they had under their control with other Imperials doing the same. With that, defections and the Rebellion fighting them, they had no way of making it out in one piece.
The Rebellion also didn't bother with Coruscant. They knew they wouldn't be able to win it off the Empire in a battle, so the peace treaty they signed let the Empire keep control of it while the New Republic had it's capital elsewhere.
>>64212195
Its part of the new novels. The Battle of Jakku was the last big battle of the civil war where the Imperials fucked themselves over and lost shitloads of capital ships. And then the Rebellion/Republic uses the victory to force them to sign an armistice where the Imperials fuck off to their territories.
>>64212297
Holy fuck a butt, in the new universe the Empire still has Coruscant itself? That is... that is goddamn..... Wow. Holy shit.
And yeah, the old EU had all of that infighting too, it just... held together better. And the Republic only went after Coruscant after securing a lot of space, and it was largely a stealth mission too.
>>64212297
>Coruscant celebrates the downfall of the Empire in EP6
>rebels let the Empire keep it anyway
that must have been really odd
>>64212372
The Empire got to keep the Core Worlds it had during it's rule, not just Coruscant. However, without the ability to produce it's army, it just became Empire rule by name, and a regular part of the galaxy at large.
>>64212383
They celebrated Palpatine's death. Immediately after, the police rush in and start beating the shit out of the people celebrating.
>>64212372
The EU had shenanigans like clone Palpatine and his assload of superweapons pulled straight out of his ass, and Thrawn coming back from bumfuck nowhere with a fully intact veteran war fleet which survived the campaign from hell. Take those away and leave the retarded Moffs and admirals turned warlords and you have a recipe for a quick disaster.
Anyone else like the clone wars Y-Wing?
>>64212445
>it just became Empire rule by name, and a regular part of the galaxy at large.
I should add, this is when the Hux clan and other Imperials that couldn't take the loss fled into the Unknown Regions and eventually created the First Order, while their beloved Empire took the loss up the ass fully.
>>64212445
Man, and I thought the Imperial Remnant in the old EU was sort of stupid enough. This is.... sheesh. I wonder how the future films will handle this rather odd political landscape. Historically the films tend to ignore the larger picture. Think about it, in the OT Tatooine and Bespin were the only inhabited planets we ever saw.
>>64212461
Thrawn didn't really come back with a veteran fleet so much as a few veteran ships and a commander who could re-solidify. Plus he was using clones and an entire old, but useful fleet he found floating in the middle of nowhere.
>>64204920
No, you just have a bunch of SJW faux-nerds interested in Star Wars who have no grasp on the lore.
>>64212445
Was this Chuck Wendig shit? In his Aftermath novel? That thing seems horrible.
>>64212506
Alderaan also counts since we did see it overall, just not it's cities. Since it had a part in the Senate since the Prequels, it's assumed that it was more civilized than Tatooine and Bespin.
The Rebellion also had a knack for finding planets with little to no life on them for bases, to keep the Empire from fucking up innocents when they found the base. Endor works as well, since there was no one but the Ewoks around to fuck with the shield generator for the DS2.
>>64212656
that's him alright
>>64212656
The police bit was the first chapter of Aftermath, yes.
>>64212713
I've heard good things about the Rucka novels. I'm not surprised there. Good things about Lost Stars from somebody I'm.... okay with as far as their opinions go. But Wendig, I've only heard wrote a really stupid peace of shit very badly.
>>64203467
This is what stopped TFA from being anything more than a remake of all the scenes the bandwagoners recognised.
>>64212757
I'm talking about a truce with the Empire which left it largely intact with Corsuscant itself still under control.
>>64209177
That was one thing where I was like wtf when I saw starfighters jumping. Did X-Wings always have warp drives?
>>64212841
Yes
TIEs however did not
>>64212767
Lost Stars is very solid as a book despite it covering such a large time frame (almost two decades opposed to a couple months in most books). Wendig is the only objectively awful writer for the new canon so far.
>>64212797
Aftermath is only three months after Endor, so I don't think it was included there, since it hadn't happened yet in-universe.
>>64212841
>>64212890
All the -Wings had hyperdrives. The Special Forces TIEs (the two-seater that Poe and Finn escape in) all have hyperdrives in them, while the basic model TIEs don't.
>>64212767
I got the Wendig book for christmas, and they must have sensed my disappointment, because they quickly pointed out the gift reciept inside the book....I think I will read it tho, and then return it
>>64212841
Yes? How do you think Luke got from Hoth to Dagobah. X-Wings and all Rebel fighters always had hyperdrives.
The Imperial fighter craft rarely did, nor did many of them have bombs or shields. They relied on their pilots overwhelming in mass, rather than individual skill, while the Rebellion gave each pilot all the advantages they could.
In fact, it was these new TIE's having lightspeed capability which was the odd thing. Although we never see it, we did hear Finn want to take that TIE out of the Jakku system. If he meant another inhabited planet in that solar system, it's fine. If he meant another solar system? Well then these new TIE's got serious upgrades.
>>64212942
The audiobook version of Aftermath is apparently easier to stand than reading it yourself.
>>64212942
I grabbed the four YA novels (Two Rucka ones, two by other people.) and Lost Stars at Walmart for dirt cheap. Price matched with Amazon. I want to get through those. But the Wendig thing doesn't sound worth it as a hardcover, even if I get it for a stupid low price. Or maybe ever.
I think I heard his book is getting two sequels, to turn it into a full trilogy too. Yeeesh. Anderson was sort of questionable as an adult level writer, but not as bad as the excerpts I've read from Wendig. Plus Wendig's raging asshattery where he just blames homophobia when people say his book wasn't good makes me want to stay clear of his everything.
>>64203429
The Y-Wing pilots were riddled with apathy.
>>64203429
x-wings were probably all the resistance could get their hands on. the transport that leia uses includes b-wing components
>>64212943
Well, Poe pointed out that these TIEs are fast and very maneuverable the moment he flies with one, so I guess they're a heavy improvement compared to the old ones.
But my questions, what about the X1? wasn't that supposed to be a TIE with shields and lightspeed? why create a new model? Also why keep those fuck huge panels that cover half your sight? at least interceptors cut that out to improve pilot's visuals.
>>64212278
>>64212254
i thought reyfags were the worst
>>64213161
JJ Hackson's train of thought most likely went something along the lines of
>I'll give them TIEs they like that right?
>>64213161
They're shields, the bigger the easier to parry blasters.
>>64213161
TIE's were always fast and maneuverable. It's about all they had going for them. These new ones needing a gunner was weird. They seemed heavier armed.
But as >>64212922 points out, these were special forces TIE's.
The TIE Defender is the craft I'm familiar with that was the Empire's attempt to make a fighter that could actually match an X-Wing or B-Wing in an open fight. It took them years to get it out of their heads that sending their pilots into a meat grinder was a bad idea. It was too late to mass produce them.
As fucking awesome as Wedge is, it wasn't just his skill alone that had each TIE marker on his X-Wing standing in for a whole squadron, rather than a single fighter. Standard TIE's are total shit. Interceptor's were pretty maneuverable with better weapons. But overall... not a good craft in a fight.
>SF TIE has tail guns in the first scene
>Never used again
Why?
>>64213290
>It took them years to get it out of their heads that sending their pilots into a meat grinder was a good idea.
Years to get it out of their heads that it was a GOOD idea. God damn it. You know what I meant.
>>64208271
>start dumping money and equipment on the Resistance.
It would be extremely retarded if the resistance still existed instead of the republic going for a full assault desu.
>>64209143
>There's no bombers today so it's reasonable that the alliance only have multi roles too.
>There's no bombers today
???
There hasn't been a full blown out war since vietnam, that's why you don't see proper bombers going around, there's no need to level cities yet but they still exist.
Wait? the new x-wings are built from spare parts? I thought they were the logical improvement of the old ones, like a P-51B turning into a P-51D
>>64205004
This makes me sad because it's probably true.
>>64203643
Dont forget that you only ever see a handful of X-wings, and then they remark that they've lost half the squad, and then you see like 9 leave with the falcon
>>64213393
Just like stromtrooper, you have to make them menacing at first, then lose hard against the resistance who have way less troops and ships. Inverse ninja law.
>>64213646
The X-Wings the Resistance uses are T-70s, which are a few models ahead of what was used in the GCW (T-65?). The New Republic can actually afford ships and has the newest models (T-80 or 85). Resistance has to buy downgrade castaway X-Wings because they are cheaper. Some are built from scratch with extra parts, but not all.

They're all so old by TFA that they'd barely fly. And they were never just bombers, they've always been fighters first, apart form the Clone Wars bullshit but that's a different version altogether.

what do you think the f-35 is, a fighter? kek

This doesn't make much sense, back in ANH the X-wing (T-65, you were right) were modern as fuck ships, prototypes in fact, who rebels got because they stole their blueprints, that's why the x-wing seems so much better than the TIEs.
Now they have old moders (at least 10 or 15 models old) than the regular ones who everybody is using and still easily against the newest version of TIEs?
This will teach the New Order to invest in better fighters and not blow all their money on a even bigger death star.

Yea I realized that was a dumb question after thinking about Luke trip.

on a side note, i think we're pretty lucky the tie defender ended up staying canon

Just the name or also the shape?
>>64214779

The Y-Wing isn't a B-52 though, its more of a Swordfish, an outdated design that remained in service far longer than it should have because it did what it needed to do and replacing it wasn't pressing but that wasn't worth keeping around post-war.
With the resistance being Leia's private military company she probably standardized around a single relatively modern multi-role star fighter out of convenience. Perhaps in 8 as Leia puts the Alliance back together we'll see more types of starfighters.

I must be only one who doesn't like that shape like at all.

This triggers me.

The F-35 is a dog-fighter whereas the A-10 is a ground supporter. What's so hard to understand about this?
>Alright, the Starkiller has finally destroyed 5 planets. Now it's time to strike, we have a former janitor here with critical intel. Send 10 of our finest X-Wing fighters.

It makes sense. After the war the empire could no longer afford to use zerg tactics or mass capitals so they had to upgrade thier ties with better equipment the whole quality vs quantity
