"The shields are down"
"that's great hackerman but we need to find their tracker"
"It's harder than it looks"
three lines
You know how shit shields are in SW right
There is no way a ship could survive being hit by something with Lightspeed if it had shields up
***it's something***
It's why they need navicomputers
Because otherwise they wouldn't have to worry about hitting a planet or a star
Because they'd just bounce right off and no damage would happen
I read something that unless you intentionally switch it off there are like, safety mechanisms that would prevent lightspeed rammning
near gravity wells, any lightspeed would shut off
to bad the hacker man was a betrayer that did sell them out and was able to give the empire secrets that only admiral genderstudies did know and the ship they did use to leave the planet of gambler was not a rebel ship as that was blown up
Yeet
Instead what happens is your ship gets destroyed by the gravitational forces surrounding the planet and you break up in atmosphere
I mean, we've seen star destroyers hovering inside atmospheres
Hovering inside atmosphere is not at all similar to having your ship torn apart while it's at its weakest before it can even enter atmosphere, and then the surviving chunks traveling at huge speeds still
those chunks would still do some real damage
A ship traveling at light speed doesn't get to atmosphere
It's destroyed before it happens
side note, looks like the new canon comics revisited Jedha
damn
I'm just pointing out that when shit goes bad, the ship is destroyed by natural forces before it can hit anything at light speed
And most of the debris would be burnt up in atmosphere, partially due to the speed, but mostly due to their size
Well, I think that due to the speed it'd make it to the surface
Chunks would, sure
And they'd leave craters, mostly small but still craters
But the ship is torn apart at a microscopic level due to the speed and the forces acting on it
It was such an awesome movie, I wish it could be properly justified with the lore
*move
Like, what could be visually cooler than a lightspeed ram right through a ship 60km wide
but there was so much dumb in that movovoie
Funnily enough, I think the simpler solution would have looked infinitely cooler
?
Gayyayayayayayayayayay?
Ram with the Raddus at high sublight speed, and then blow the ship up when it's embedded in the heard of the Supremacy
The chunks of the Supremacy that get blown off by such a huge impact and explosion would take out most of the fleet, and I'm sure the Supremacy would also have a few explosions of it's own
that might work
Wide shot of that would look great imo
It would work in lore and it'd look good
Better yet, have ackbar do it
Also the single change that, IMO, would've saved the movie
the best solution had been sticking to the manus JJ Abrams did make and not try and remake it all when you had already started the story like jonsen did
Kylo says to let both armies burn, and to run awy with him
and rey agrees
