Star Wars weapons don't have to be inferior to modern weapons I hate the slower laser travel times argument since in video games they work just fine

2019-12-15 09:47:36 UTC  

And look authentic

2019-12-15 09:47:41 UTC  

the laserkraftwerk became able to just like yeet a helicopter in one shot

2019-12-15 09:48:14 UTC  

but the like laser guns able to blow holes into thin metal was really nice

2019-12-15 09:48:24 UTC  

and the devs utilized that a lot

2019-12-15 09:48:50 UTC  

the metal crates having items in them and like railings often having thin metal sheets on em

2019-12-15 09:49:03 UTC  

well the blaster bolts are essentially propelled plasma iirc

2019-12-15 09:49:08 UTC  

Star Wars armor lore is cursed though and should just be rewritten with Stormtroopers can take multiple shots the movies just aren't like that and who cares kind of like 40k space marines in the books vs in basically everything else, they aren't nearly as OP as the lore would suggest

2019-12-15 09:49:39 UTC  

yeah true

2019-12-15 09:50:04 UTC  

yeah its about what the space marine's up against

2019-12-15 09:50:08 UTC  

personal shields that have been present all this time *can* explains things but is pretty autistic

2019-12-15 09:50:33 UTC  

retconning the inconsistencies would have been a good idea

2019-12-15 09:51:08 UTC  

up against a green fungus man that believes with his heart of hearts if he screams loud enough his what amounts to a pipe gun will shoot ork tusks at the speed and velocity and explode like a bolter shell

2019-12-15 09:51:31 UTC  

which will literally happen

2019-12-15 09:51:35 UTC  

I think originally, Stormtrooper armour wasn't meant to stop blaster shots. The first time we see them they are boarding another ship. And they are fully enclosed suits.

So I think the original idea was for the suits to be life-support space suits basically without other protective qualities.

After all, if you're boarding a space ship and do kot have your own oxygen supply, the defenders can just vent the atmosphere in whatever deck you enter from and choke you to death.

2019-12-15 09:51:35 UTC  

just make it so blasters are firing extremely minute amounts of plasma enough to melt a 3inch diameter hold in the "traditional" armour everything has

2019-12-15 09:51:59 UTC  

but pierce through flesh without a problem just like lightsabers

2019-12-15 09:52:07 UTC  

Also I hate how not seriously stormtroopers are taken in Jedi fallen order they should be treated like the fucking SS

2019-12-15 09:52:46 UTC  

ever since even the 70s theyve been kind of a joke

2019-12-15 09:52:48 UTC  

the left suck at writing nazis because if they knew how they actually behaved they would notice alot of similarities to themselves <:smugon:512048583806025739>

2019-12-15 09:53:15 UTC  

Ever since ROTJ maybe

2019-12-15 09:53:20 UTC  

>Defeated by Ewoks

2019-12-15 09:53:32 UTC  

they should be taken just as seriously as stormtroopers

2019-12-15 09:53:34 UTC  

cause they were a thing

2019-12-15 09:53:39 UTC  

The comics have been pretty good at showing Stormtroopers as bad ass

2019-12-15 09:53:47 UTC  

this mother fucker recorded his screen playing a GIF of a video and posted it as a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4xgf4Eak1w

2019-12-15 09:53:52 UTC  

that's some inception shit

2019-12-15 09:54:15 UTC  

remember when luke got shot in the hand by a blaster. he went "owie" and that was literally it

2019-12-15 09:54:20 UTC  

reminder that the nazis werent even that right wing but ultra authoritarian

2019-12-15 09:54:30 UTC  

But don't you know? Star wars is for children according to George Lucas. 😁

Can't have SS-stormtroopers running around in a childrens movie... Or allow Han Solo to shoot Greedo first.

2019-12-15 09:54:38 UTC  

your average randian objectivist is way more right than a nazi

2019-12-15 09:55:25 UTC  

Nazis where radical centrists

2019-12-15 09:55:26 UTC  

but these people are operating on a single axis system of Left, and EVIL

2019-12-15 09:56:03 UTC  

They call themselves 3rd positionists which is a claim to not even be on the right economically wise

2019-12-15 09:56:16 UTC  

There is the hyper tradcon angle to them though

2019-12-15 09:56:53 UTC  

The Fascists and the Nazis didn't oppose a reasonably free market though

2019-12-15 09:57:21 UTC  

as long as it served their interests and only their interests*

2019-12-15 09:57:34 UTC  

@Redxl That is what the lefies believe, yes

2019-12-15 09:57:36 UTC  

People like to make their politics interchangeable so much it's getting ridiculous

2019-12-15 09:57:46 UTC  

People act like dogs and are surprised when you treat them like one

2019-12-15 09:58:03 UTC  

It's just that they put in the requirement that the domestic market cannot be contradictory to the states interests. Frankly I think that's a pretty reasonable position.

Hard to run a country when you have a bunch of wealth merchants dealing with your enemies.
