Just saw the opening scene and I was outraged

What kind of crap is this?

The pirates physically penetrated the cargo ship hull, with huge tubes, and there is no vacuum effect, nothing is sucked out. Nobody is wearing oxygen masks.

Pirates just came on board without any body amour or shields, and just get shot one by one?

Even when the tube is blown up, there is still nothing showing there is vacuum effect, but outside of the ship pirates are wearing space suits.

I know right away this is for very little kids.

Star Wars never follows the rules of physics. There’s sound in space!

[–] fc31 (6120) 3 months ago

Vader was in a bodysuit, all storm-troopers were in full protection bodysuits.

They ignored physics to a point, not like this.

[–] Ziggy (1913) 3 months ago

Vader was in a bodysuit, all storm-troopers were in full protection bodysuits.

Vader's suit and the storm trooper armor and not vac suits ... at all. Vader's suit helps him breath because his lungs don't function properly any more. Storm trooper armor is battle armor. It partially protects them in battle.

Are you thinking of the beginning of A New Hope? They boarded Tantive IV through an airlock.

But at the end of Rogue One, and Vader is just standing on the edge of the hole in the ship, cape fluttering in the wind, watching Tantive IV fly away.

If you're going to let a pesky little thing like physics ruin Star Wars for you, I guess Star Wars isn't for you.

Vader's suit and the storm trooper armor and not vac suits

You don't know that.

Nobody definitively knows that.

Not from the movies alone.

They boarded Tantive IV through an airlock.

That itself says nothing. They needed the princess alive, and the princess was not in a space suit.

There could also be other personnel on their own ship needs protection. Also vacuum effect alone is enough to establish airlock.

So the airlock made sense, in that scenario.

The fact they have that means they respected physics, as long as it does not work against the films. Like light saber is not physically sound, but they had to have it.

at the end of Rogue One

I stopped reading after that. I skipped most parts of that movie.

I know it, and Ralph McQuarrie knows it:

"Early in the script there was a description of Vader crossing between two ships in space so I created this mask so he could breathe in space," McQuarrie explains. "George loved it."

"The space suits began as being necessary for their survival in space, but the suits became part of their character."

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE_pilot#Uniform_and_equipment

TIE pilots were equipped with black uniforms composed of an energy-shielded fabric,[10][11] a black flight helmet, positive gravity pressure boots, and a life support chest piece with breather tubes connected to the helmet to provide necessary gases. Functioning as vacuum G-suits, these uniforms were necessary because the various TIE craft, with few exceptions, lacked life support.[6] The helmets also featured ship-linked communications systems on the sides, and were highly reinforced

Wrong:

"Early in the script there was a description of Vader crossing between two ships in space so I created this mask so he could breathe in space, George loved it."

oh you were serious?

the thread title made it sound like an angry fanboy parody

[–] fc31 (6120) 3 months ago

I was kind of angry, but not as angry as I would have been, when I was a star wars fan.

Now I am starting to feel ashamed to be one.

Even the opening Lucasfilm logo is starting to irritate me.

Really? The Holdo maneuver didn't already take you out with SW already?

[–] fc31 (6120) 3 months ago

It took me out, but it did not outrage me. At least it was trying something.

This is laziness, this says your people are idiots anyway, we can just feed you any crap and you will take it.

[–] FootOfDavros (8702) 3 months ago

I watched the Acolyte and for the most part enjoyed it, despite the nonsense surrounding it (which mostly turned out to be rubbish anyway, e.g. Lesbian witches!) but this is a step too far for me.

It will join Solo & Rise of Skywalker on the sidelines...

[–] Keelai (36133) 2 months ago

How come no one complains about the 100% female populated land where Wonder Woman originates?

[–] FootOfDavros (8702) 2 months ago

No idea.

[–] asom (6894) 3 months ago

All of it is nonsense ...

[–] TiberiumKing (178) 2 months ago

and the fact all planets look like earth and have the same atmosphere as earth does not makes you mad

[–] fc31 (6120) 2 months ago

There is no saying that, for all we know they just look human, and are in fact very different from us.

[–] TiberiumKing (178) 2 months ago

no they not. lol, someone here give star wars too much credit. nearly all the planets in star wars are 100% identical to earth and every planet has only 1 echo system from earth, one planet is only deserts, one planet is only snow, one planet is only jungles, etc etc. and they all has the same atmosphere as earth, why do you think nobody even wear any space suits? because its a space westren, not a sci fi, its bascially a westren only with ships instead of horses and space instead of rockey deserts mixed with fantasy, even star trek is not a real sci-fi because they repeat the same mistake exactly, even alien is more a sci fi then those 2

what are odds you think that such remote planets will look, and feel exactly like one planet who is light years away from them? even in our solar system not even one of them look like us. even mars look compleatly different and its in our backyard.

you clearly have no idea about what is a real sci-fy and what is just something that uses space for its plot

[–] Keelai (36133) 2 months ago

Star Trek: An alien race spread humanoid DNA around the galaxy on Class M planets long ago.

Star Wars: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
Isn't Star Wars basically a fictitious bedtime story told to kiddies? Anything goes since it is a fairytale.

[–] TiberiumKing (178) 2 months ago

to star trek defence its mostly low budget tv shows so they cant do much about it. unlike star wars especielly new star wars.

at least in the alien movies you do need spacesuits and space vaccum actually exist
