Yeah, what were they thinking, right? That's ridiculous. Now about those swords that are also lasers and can cut through anything - Oh! And can we talk for a second about a magical force that can be used to lift heavy objects AND choke a man to death.
:roll:
Indeed. I thought the same thing when I read his post whining about realism in a setting that involves the Force, laser pistols and space ships zooming through space.
Then you thought wrong. In the SW universe laser swords and force powers exist, but so do the vacuum of space and the general principles of physics like gravity, momentum and mass. I don't think asking for consistency with the movie canon is unreasonable. If your character could teleport (beam) from one place to another, fans would complain not because it was unrealistic, but because that technology doesn't exist in that universe (that I know of anyway).
The next thing I know you'll be telling me that a flux capacitor is a work of fiction.
Translation: You've proven your point sirjonk and I have nothing further to add to this conversation so I'll digress into non sequitur sarcasm.
What about explosions in spac...wait - no. I'm not having this conversation.
What's it like to be
that guy?
Frink: Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey. In episode BF12, you
were battling barbarians while riding a winged
Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear,
you're clearly atop a winged Arabian. Please do
explain it.
Lawless: Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like
that, a wizard did it.
Frink: I see, all right, yes, but in episode AG4 --
Lawless: Wizard.
