>The First Order uses flamethrowers
I can't be the only one that thinks this was ridiculous. Why would you use such a primitive weapon when you have fucking laser guns?
Fire is good for destroying objects and buildings that burn.
different area of usage
>why use guns when you have grenades?
What? Why use laser swords? Why use shitty laser rifles with the same rate of fire as a bolt action rifle? Why not use more rocket launchers?

Wew, lad.

Part of the kike/nazi symbolism the kike director is brain washing the masses with.
Nazi storm trooper symbolism
>>67856891
Because the Nazis did, and First Order is supposed to be the Third Reich. It might have been too subtle for you.
How did aunt Beru and uncle Owen turn into skeletons?
Did they put uncle Owen into an oven?

Every fucking time.

They mildly helped jango when he torched master windus robes. Even the gretegretest swords man in the galazy had his style cramped by a timely flan thrower

He's probably the same kind of autist who has a problem with the ax in Prometheus

They didnt do enough, my good goy friend.

Equally suiting though.

well that's disrespectful
Good question op, why would they use flamethrowers to destroy weaved wooden baskets
>>67856891
Take a guess what the PRIMARY weapon Mandalorians used to kill Jedi was, idiot?
Sabers can't deflect that shit and unless your Mace Windu or Vader-teir you're fucking dead.
>>67856891
he's burning food and materials not killing people.
probably burning their tents or something to flush people out and round them together.
Will this /pol/ shit ever stop? It's just so tiring.
I mean... really, don't these guys ever get tired of /pol/ing?
One of the Star Wars encyclopedias said blasters could be turned down to low power, and Stormtroopers used them to sear people's flesh as a form of torture. This is how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru died, not fire.
>>67857204
Hold the fucking phone you dumb nigger.
Why is the goddamn axehead straight? Not a single real-world axe has a straight head because the corners are going to break off. She's holding a stageprop. A custom stageprop they spent money on to make.
A stageprop that they decided to give a wooden recurved handle for whatever godawful reason.
Some concept artist probably drafted up a few dozen designs of that axe. Ridley Scott went in one day and say "hey, I like this axe. Let's have the prop department make it for us".
Of course some contrarian autist would think this axe is fine. Of course.

INTIMIDATION. Plasma casters seem to be a one-hit kill. That doesn't strike the farmers into terror as much as being burnt alive.
>>67857569
some people just live in a two-tone world. No use wasting your time on them.
>>67857605
No original thought, just like your last post, fuckwitt.
>>67857284
you can force push the flames away retard
>>67856891
To destroy all evidence of their involvement, they can't afford to leave a bunch of bodies and buildings littered with telltale blaster burns behind.
>>67857284

More like helped Dindu. I can only imagine how many times Jedi get caught in their long ass robes.

Why use soldiers when you can blow the whole planet up?
>Fire is primitive
Stupidest thing you've ever said.
Why don't we just throw nukes around?
>>67857226
They were used to clear out bunker, trenches and such. Ain't nobody gonna hug cover when said cover is on fire. Ammo was an issue though along with some other thing which led it to being abandoned.
Why couldn't their star destroyer simply glass that continent.
Tales of that would scare other shitholes proficiently enough too.
>>67856891
Because lighting stuff on fire is easier when you add fuel than igniting the thing you want to burn as its own fuel source.
>>67856922
>>67858424
Flamethrower are more cost effective?
>>67857154
>>67857162
Flamethrowers we're utilized by both axis and allies during WW2. Not to mention the US napalm and white phosphor bombing runs during the Vietnam war.
>>67858456
Yes, now that we've smart bombs and cluster weapons, trenches are useless.
>>67857225
It didn't happen but it should have.

It's not even subtle.
Jewish director, on record saying he wants to force diversity quotas on hollywood and to stop casting white people.
Takes the Imperials from a british colonial analogy to evil nazis who wear red armbands and for absolutely no reason use flamethrowers to burn random people alive.
Has the bad guys literally give Hitler speeches under giant red banners and everyone salutes when hes done.
>>67858456
>along with some other thing
you mean being gigantic signs saying "kill me and hate america"?
>>67857403
a recurve handle is actually beneficial for getting extra power on a swing in say a closed hallway or room, where you would use an emergency axe
You ever hear a man burn to death, Chief? It's fucked up. Flamethrowers aren't practical, but they are terrifying. Which is why bad guys use them.

Underrated post
>>67856891
>laser guns
so fucking stupid. when you get shot, its the bleeding or internal damage cause from collapsed organs that kills you, lasers just cauterize the wound on impact, its fucking retarded
Area of affect, Terror weapon, Wookies / furry aliens, destruction of goods / property.
Makes sense to me.
>>67860143
wouldn't it also cook the inside dealing massive damage to tissue and organs which would eventually do you in?
it wouldn't happen as fast as shown in the star war movie though.
>>67857344
>One of the Star Wars encyclopedias said blasters could be turned down to low power, and Stormtroopers used them to sear people's flesh as a form of torture.
EU is no longer canon.
Disney canon is they were both killed by flamethrowers that melted their flesh off in agonizing pain as the Stormtroopers watched and place bets on which one died first.
>>67857228
THEY WAS TRYIN TA TURN THEY COUNTRY AROUND
Crowd Suppression.
Same logic as water cannon or riot gas, only deadly. Also it means the stormtrooper is less likely to miss.
>>67857857
and fire can only hurt you as long is it directly touches your skin as we all know
> laser gun.
>>67857622
Go away, Doug.
>>67856891
Yeah because it's not like flamethrowers are inherently psychologically useful weapons.
>>67856891
uncle ben was fried with a flamethrower so fuck u
