[seremtan]

[MKJ]

Imperial Transporters make me moist.
Dat landing sequence.

[Whiskey 7]

Very nice.

[DTS]

Death Star.

[xer0s]

I, too, noticed the Death Star...

[seremtan]

brings home how useless those walkers would be in a real fight

[Ryoki]

Nicely done

brings home how useless those walkers would be in a real fight

that's the kind of thing that runs through my mind, when someone makes a movie in the 21st century based on a universe devised the same day sliced bread was invented.

star trek can get away with making small design modifications to spruce things up. but shit like this (walkers etc.) there is really no way around it. they would do well to downplay those elements in the upcoming film.

[Captain]

Walkers are awesome, fu

[Tsakali]

k I get it... i really do. but you just have to get over it.

[DTS]

The walkers were made, so the story goes, to intimidate the enemy (groundtroops).

You need to see them from the point of view of a ground troop to realise their effectiveness.
It would be like launching some Tyrannosaurous Rexs (with blasters on the sides of their heads?) at your opponents just to freak them out.

[Ryoki]

Any fieldmarshallgeneralrastafari in charge of a Rebel force should prepare the ground when faced with Walkers. A simple series of extra wide, unoccupied trenches is enough to fell these monsters because of a basic design flaw in their propulsion system. There is no need for daring pilots to risk their precious craft in order to run cables around the Walker legs, that's just a completely irrisponsible waste of Rebel materiel.

Alternatively; build your Rebel base on a swamp planet, or on a mountain.

[LawL]

irresponsible.

[Ryoki]

Yeah, that too.

or you could just get on a bicycle and pedal away at a moderate speed

yeah, that too

[MKJ]

Cause Walkers' sole purpose is to crush footsoldiers.
Not shoot at armored targets with those huge cannons.

Also, they're transports carrying ATSTs, wheeled vehicles and platoons of infantry. So yeah.
/nerd

[LawL]

Walkers own. The end.

[xer0s]

Yep. I hope we see an updated version in the next films...

[seremtan]

they'll be self-driving Google walkers

[Captain]

Yep. I hope we see an updated version in the next films...

Updated with what, Bluetooth and Sirius XM?

[phantasmagoria]

Hey look, Stormtroopers:

[Don Carlos]

Your work, good sir?

[seremtan]

why are there stormtroopers when the empire's been defeated?

[vesp]

guerillas, empire strongholds holding out, breakaway factions that decide to use the same symbols/armor etc etc?

might be cool...

[MKJ]

or you could watch the movie and find out.

theres millions of them. it's not like there was a dead man's offswitch embedded in the emperor's dickhole.
