OUT OF THE WAY, X-WING FUCKING SHITS. BEST FIGHTERS COMING THROUGH TO FUCK UP SOME IMPERIALS
OH, WHAT'S THAT? SOME TIE INTERCEPTORS FUCKING YOUR SHIT UP SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY? I GOT YOU BRO.
I'M LITERALLY JUST ENGINES WITH GUNS STRAPPED ON. I DON'T NEED THE HELP OF HEAVY SHIELDS OR FANCY S-FOILS OR SOME OBNOXIOUS ASS R2 UNIT TO FUCK YOUR BITCH. I JUST HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND FUCKING GO.
NOW THIS IS FUCKING PODRACING

X-Wings are closer to F15s while A-Wings would be closer to F16s
Not such a good comparison.
>>27782689
I have no idea what's going on in this thread. But I'm digging it.
>>27783450
You have it backwards. The A-Wing is a high speed interceptor. It's closer to being an F-15. The X-Wing is an all-purpose multirole. It's closer to being a Super Hornet.
>>27782759
where is the Executor's bow in this shot? surely you'd be able to see it out the window.
Also, fucking rebels, have to make suicide runs because you're too stupid to win conventionally.
>>27782759
Would you look at this little shit, acting like A wings took down the star destroyers shields and pretending that crash was deliberate.

>>27783474

Nope. The A-10 wing has good shielding and a hyperdrive. The F-104 would a TIE fighter, nothing except the essentials and the ability to go fast.

wtf kind of X-Wing is that? Doesn't look anything like the original. Also, turbofans in space? Split turbofans in space?

>>27784291
That's the chart ILM used for RotJ. Hell you can see them doing alright in a couple shots. At least three Tie Interceptors were blown up by Y-wings.
The only good thing about Star Wars was this character.

Well I mean it is Star Wars you're talking about. That's about as shit as you can get.

Look. There are good reasons why they were changed the way they were. JarJar Abrams is just the worst kind of fan.
>>27785842
i wasn't talking about Star Wars, which is space opera/fantasy.
>>27785924
We'll see. He was a Star Trek fan too, and promptly genocided the Romulans *and* the Vulcans so he could have his *own* Star Trek to play with.

>>27784414
Her draft has nothing to do with what was filmed according to the few people who have read it
The empire filming script was written by Lawrence Kasdan with some additional polishing by Lucas
The Phantom Meance is directly adapted from initial first drafts Lucas wrote back in the mid-70s, back when it was Hidden Fortress in Space.
The very stuff that Gary Kurtz made him rewrite again and again and again because it was bad.
And even after he'd written something workable as A New Hope the couple that wrote American Grafitti and Temple of Doom were still needed to rewrite the atrocious dialogue.
And his wife had to edit the film after his first cut was too long and meandering and left the studio executives furious and his film school pals laughing.
He just changed the character and place names
General Starkiller becomes Qui-Gon
His kids Deak and Anikin become Obi-Wan and Annikin
The Luke/Leia prototype princess being escorted around becomes Padme
Yavin IV under siege by the galactic empire becomes naboo under siege by the trade federation.
Vader prototype becomes Darth Maul
Wookiees and Chewacca prototype becomes Gunguns and Jar Jar
The t-16 skyhopper race Lucas wanted in New Hope becomes the pod race
The empires space battle stations become trade federation droid controllers (and in new hope became the Death Star)
The dual battles in space and on land he first recycled into return of the Jedi and is again recycled here
The conflict between the native wookiees and the princesses people's is changed to naboos conflict between the Gunguns and the humans, their need to work together is reused
And so on
>>27784643
Star Wars is not grim dark
>>27786470
>>27786442
ayy, Space 1999 was good shit.
That show was hella fun, pretty cheesy, but 10 year old me ate it up. I need to rewatch it sometime, the spacecraft in it were really cool looking.
>>27786470
Oh snap nigger!!
>>27784782
I have a backpack to go with that
>>27786527
>And his wife had to edit the film after his first cut was too long and meandering and left the studio executives furious and his film school pals laughing.
In Lucas edit the film kept cutting back and forth between the shit going on on the blockade runner, leia, Vader, the droids, etc and Luke whining about shit to his aunt and uncle and playing with his friends and meeting Biggs who is joining the rebellion
>blockade runner and star destroyer come out of light speed and shoot it out over tattooine
>Cut to Luke fixing vaporators watches with his macrobinoculars
>Cut back to stormtroopers boarding the ship, shooting it out with the crew
>cut back to Luke whining
>cut back to Vader interrogating and killing the ships captain
>cut back to Luke going to toshi station and hanging with his homies
>cut back to leia and the droids
>cut back to Luke meeting Biggs and learning his running away to join the rebellion
>cut back to droids in desert
>cut back to Luke racing his friends
It just fucking kills the pacing
It tells us nothing new.
We learn in all the scenes after Luke and the droids meet up that he doesn't want to be a farmer and wants to leave and shit and all these earlier scenes are simply telling us the exact same thing.
One or the other has to go.
>>27786644
Its the same problem reinserting the Jabba scene has.
Han has just met Greedo and we the audience learn Han is in trouble and owes money and has bounty hunters on his ass.
And now Han meets Jabba and we the audience learn Han is in trouble and owes money and has bounty hunters in his ass.
Completely redundant.
You only need one or the other not both.
Since Lucas is so pissy about Han shooting first why not cut the Greedo scene all together and have the Jabba scene set up Hans problems.
Restores narrative flow and eliminates repetition.

why do X-Wings need wings in space? sure they fight in atmostphere here and there, but so can A-Wings and t47 airspeeders. Sure they have a wide airframe, but that hasn't stop regular vehicles from not flying with odd shapes in Star Wars universe.
>inb4 no fun

You should be asking why space combat in Star Wars does not abide zero gravity + inertia based movement.
>>27786716
they do in Star Wars Rebels-The Siege of Lothal where Vader is killing all the A-Wings with his Advanced Tie
>>27786716
by the way, that ship is canon again
The A-Wing is just pure sex, I hope a new version of it appears in the new movie, I'm kinda worried that I only see X-wings and Tie Fighter
