Finally had the time to watch the episode.
Had a lot of action, which was nice after last weeks episode. And some funny bits too, "Bad baby, no squeeze me." |

Thanks to those who replied about water in space.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By happycynic: I think my favorite part of Disney Star Wars is how you can take an entire planet with one light cruiser and less than a company sized force.  Now bear with me as I nerd out. The Star Wars credit is roughly equal to a dollar. See Youtube An ISD costs 150.000.000 credits. By comparison, a USN Burke class destroyer costs about $1.8 billion , and the USN has 70 active. So you could afford 12 Star Destroyers for every Burke, or 840 Star Destroyers for what the USA, one single country occupying part of one planet, spends on destroyers. Considering that the Star Wars galaxy is roughly equivalent to ours, that means there could be a million inhabitable worlds, and if only 1/10 of those are colonized, and only 1/10 of the colonized worlds have a significant population, that's still 10,000 industrialized worlds. The size of Star Wars fleets should be so massive it would be hard to comprehend. But you can take a planet with less than a company. As an aside, Legend of Galactic Heroes is one of the few shows to attempt to scale realistic fleet battles for galaxy-spanning empires.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HTuU8ka-CkHow many times did the Republic in the Clone Wars have to defeat a planetary blockade by flying right through the middle of the 10-15 ships that made up the blockade? Why not just fly around it? A planet is a sphere; how is it being blockaded by one single formation of ships? |

When reentering an atmosphere in real life, its best done somewhat near the equator. I forget the reason why (English major) but it was explained in my astronomy class. Something to do with speed and friction. Thus, in the Star Wars universe, if you want to blockade a planet you really only need to block transit along the equator on the side of the planet facing the hyperspace lane. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stoner01: Think of it as blocking the exit of a highway. There's only so many ways you can go. In our system with our tech this is true. It is not true once FTL is on the table and it is a clear plot issue and has been from the beginning of SW. Now if you allow for short FTL jumps, then sure, but traditional SW fans hate this because of the HKV issue it introduces. So we have to live with the fact that picket ships are always exactly where the plot needs them to be. |

Hyper space really isn’t well defined in Star Wars. It’s another dimension, not just light speed jumps. It’s generally regarded as being pretty dangerous outside of the well defined lanes. Maybe, but getting into hyperspace still requires you to speed up based on the visual effects we have always been given. The lanes are just roads with (generally) defined rules. There is nothing in canon to say you can't drive outside the lines. Hell, the classically butchered blunder of the Kessel run was 'fixed' by incorporating the idea that violating lanes was not only possible, but 'better'. A micro-jump is definitionally safe, you can practically see where you are jumping to. Think about how interesting space battles would be if you could, at any moment, smash a button that instantly takes you even a quarter mile forward. The problem is viewers couldn't process it. That's always been a problem since sci-fi started dealing with relativistic speeds that don't involve appropriate fuel expenditures. |

I think Axe Woves is a spy... he jetted off to get the fleet when the Imps attacked. However he had no ship to return to since the armorer had taken the gauntlet to ferry the wounded and there are no comms because of the interference. So where the hell was he going?

What does hyperspace have to do with a planetary blockade? You don't need hyperspace to fly around a planet. If there is a cluster of ships trying to prevent you from landing on a planet, fly around it and approach from the other side.

Remember when Din had to take the frog lady to the water planet but couldn’t use hyper space & it made him nervous because of how dangerous that was? |
