Though, to be fair, it is the original and prequel trilogies themselves that enable its greatest feat: the nostalgia factor by masterfully linking the two trilogies, especially with its ending that is, to me, the best sequence of scenes in Star Wars history by a mile.

True, though we only know the Hosnian system even exists for about ten seconds before the blasts from Starkiller Base arrive. There's just no real connection for the audience: unlike Alderaan, which was built up in ANH as a refuge and source of support for the Rebellion, the main characters in TFA were far more interested in making contact with the Resistance, not the New Republic. When the audience learns how reluctant the NR was to deal with clear and present dangers like the First Order... Well, the loss of life is tragic, but as a government and a player in the overall plot, the New Republic came across as even more passive and useless than the Old.

When I think about how Scarif looked after the Death Star’s blast hit the surface, I think it kind of ended up looking like Harry Osborn’s face in Spider-man 3 after he took a grenade to the face. Half scorched and scarred while the other half looks normal.

While other outside the blast radius could have survived as well if they were then able to survive the planet fracture and ecological fallout. Something we know is possible do to other plants that have been glassed or ripped to shreds yet somehow some people survived.

Given what we see in Star Wars Rebels with experiments on Kyber showing that it when not in lightsaber and current runs through it causing unstable but powerful bursts of energy to be released? Yeah I would say what deposits were left amplified the sheer amount of destruction. Also if any survived given their psyhic nature I would very very cautious when bonding with one. Likely to be just as unstable as any resident of Jedda or Alderaan upon seeing the Death Star. From a Darkside point of view though it would require very little breaking and thus make a very powerful if unstable blade. Hmm makes me wonder if off scene Kylo's saber's cracked crystal was going to be explained this way to MCU up things more.

There has to be a lesson here. Destroying Planets is just counterproductive. Alderaans destruction must have an effect the relative gravitational pulls of others bodies in the system and Hosnian Prime, I don't want to think about what multiple planets would do to, gravitational pull, hyperspace travel or trade. Seriously the lesson here for Intersolar Dictators is "to limit destructions to cities or portions of Ecumenopolis". There's more repercussions than you realize. Sad part is that a death star would be a good Asteroid defense system if it wasn't for Tarkin.

Imagine how the destruction of a place like Wall Street would affect the economy, now Imagine that in a galactic scale. And let's not even talk about things like tge farms that are important to FEED the Galaxy, or the mines extract the raw material that your empire need to build and expand itself. And the psicolocal effect that can have in the population, like galvanizing a revolution movement or instability that is going to follow. One single planet can be the corner stone of an entire empire, detroy said planet with your own weapons is completely counter productive. I think the destruction of an entire planet is only warrant if we are talking about a planet that has been take over by a galactic ending event like. The Tyranids, Chaos, the Necromorphs, the Aparoids, the Preythorns, the Contingency, The Unbiden, the Borg, the Blackwing virus, etc In those intances, blowing up the entire planet may even be a nescesity to prevent those things to keeo spreading, but otherwise is not.

The Scarif strike definitely didn't alter the planet like the strike on Jedha. The blast on Scarif looked more like a massive nuclear explosion (bigger than anything we've seen in real life), but seemed relatively "contained", while the Jedha blast had almost every characteristic of a comet or meteor impact, with huge amounts of ejecta being thrown into low orbit that would plummet back down to the surface. I think it was an interesting contrast they showed us, and showed that the Death Star, while unavoidably super destructive, had a relatively versatile use depending on the angle of attack.

Moments like these are terrifying, the amount of fear one sees as a result of these events. I think the closest parallel to this in another series would be Operation British and the other colony drops from Gundam. The aftermath is constantly there, on display, and even though 0083: Stardust Memory isn't my favorite, it does have this one haunting scene where someone who's been in space their whole life visits Earth, and is heading towards Australia, asks when they'll arrive, only to realize that they've been over Australia for a while, an ocean filled Crater as resulted from the Colony Drop. It's existentially terrifying to see such horrible aftermath, these are scars that cannot heal, and serve as a constant reminder of the atrocities that have taken place.

So here's a thought - given that we see the Geonosians hand Count Dooku the designs for the Death Star and then the Emperor, Vader, and what looks to be a younger Tarkin personally overlooking the initial construction of the base, how serious were they in alternatives, like Grand Admiral Thrawn's TIE Defender Program or others? There appears to be a personal bias in favor of Project Stardust.

Not very, I don't think. Once the TIE Defender lost access to the fuel depots, it was immediately canned since it would be too expensive to relocate to another system, or to rebuild the one on Lothal. I'd wager other projects were to tide everything over until the Death Star was completed. And since Erso engineered the weakness, the Geonosians, Dooku, Palpatine, et. al didn't realize there was a flaw until after they blew it up. IIRC, in the Rogue One novelization, Krennic has a moment of clarity as he sees something off from the schematics, and realizes it's flawed. Then amused as he realizes no one knows in his final seconds.

I have been someone who tries to figure out the science of star wars for a long time. I have my own theories behind how superweapons like the Death Star and Starkiller Base actually operated. Conventional wisdom suggests that both Death Stars produced beams that could utterly destroy planetary bodies, other youtubers have run those calculations and determined the energy required would be equivalent of SEVERAL main sequence stars. I disagree with this. While it's absolutely clear they had devastating explosive power I believe their purpose was to drill through a terrestrial planet and regardless of reaching the core or not it would impart massive amounts of heat energy into mantle and outer-core fluids. Effectively flash-boiling thousands of cubic kilometers of material near instantly. Liquids heat when they expand. Heat something fast enough that has a relatively rigid container around it and you have an explosion. This could be why the first Death Star didn't fire on, or through Yavin. Power generation notwithstanding Yavin was a gas giant and had no liquid mantle to superheat or crust to violent expand outward. Beyond that, gravitational lensing would have, at best, subtlely bent the beam or at worst the beam discharge would have ignited the gases producing a fireball the size of a small nova. Such a beam would require, by our standards, a GARGANTUAN amount of power. However, penetration, not explosive yield, is the key here...if straight up destruction would require 3+ stars like our sun...a drilling laser may only require 1-2 I cannot BEGIN to provide math to support this however, this is all just speculation based upon theory and observation. Starkiller base works a little differently, at least in my humble opinion. I believe it is actually LESS powerful...since we know it only uses a single star to power it. However it does not produce a single beam, it produces 4 or more, and even if the Death Star only needed the power of 1 star each beam form Starkiller Base would only be 20% of the power. It accomplishes the same destructive power through a much more efficient means. While the Death Star was a true "energy blast" Starkiller Base is NOT. I believe that it literally separates a star's plasma, contains it cohesively and launches it at speeds near or above the speed of light. Stars weigh an OBSCENE amount. 20% of the mass of our sun is still many times more than any rocky planet in our solar system. That amount of mass, electromagnetically being held together impacting a planetary body would annihilate it.

The Damage of Jedda in the Comics vastly exceeds what's depicted in the film in my opinion. There should just be a big crater not 1/4 of the planet gone. Which would also destroy it since you now have unbalanced object spinning. Edit: Same thing with Scarif. What's show is the equivalent of a extremely large nuclear blast or asteroid strike in the movie, which on earth never boiled away the earth's oceans, yet for some reason the planet is completely devastated. The 50 megaton Tsar Bomba threw Debris over 100,000 feet in the air and it's one hundred megaton version likely would have ejected material into space.

Hosnian Prime was where a huge portion of the New Republic was located at when StarKiller Base fired at the system. The destruction of the entire star system wiped out most of the New Republic’s navy as well as most of the political staff. According to what little information I’ve been able to get ahold of, all of the New Republic’s T-85 X Wing Starfighters were lost (though there may have been small numbers operating elsewhere in the galaxy) That’s why the First Order decided to take out the system. Oh, and apparently the energy output of this strike was so huge that it caused what’s known as a hyperspace rip, which meant that the destruction was seen simultaneously across a good portion of the galaxy.

Also do you get a window in your room? I like to stair into hyperspace like Darth Vader! I would assume captain quarters are much nicer and would also have a room with their own office too?

A handful of shots on a planet and it would be a dead world. A single shot would create an artifical ice age due to dust in the atmosphere. Do it right and it be just as scary as a Death Star.

3:33 Yeah no that's not the same event. You can see in the movie that the damage is much, much more limited. I'm not sure if the material is moving at the proper speed or not, but if it is, it's going to fall back down, as it's only moving a few kilometers per second. It's gonna make a _big fucking crater_ but ultimately only a small amount of mass is going to be ejected. Yield is likely in the petatons, which sounds like a lot (it is), but is a billion times less than the amount required to mass-scatter an Earthlike planet. This sounds somewhat reasonable given what we know about the death star's method of operations. Survival on the surface is... conceivable. A sufficiently hardened shelter might survive the aerial and surface shockwaves, though a dense layer of ash would be cast over everything, resulting in a permanent impact winter. No ecosystem would survive. 8:44 Interesting example of the weird way SW weapons work in general: the beam not only doesn't superheat the air as it passes through, it actually seems to _smash_ the tower aside rather than vaporizing it, which would create an expanding plasma ball. I doubt that Scarif's oceans would be boiled from that alone - there's simply too much mass against too small a point. But yeah, more trench-like impact site aside (not shown), the effects would likely be similar. Total destruction of anything that is not, well, Star Wars levels of fortified, ecosystem collapse, small portion of the mass ejected into space. Alderaan's destruction is a much more energetic event than the previous attacks. ... I mean, obviously, but _much_ more energetic. The planet is basically instantly scattered, with what is either bits of material or plasma expanding at a rate of thousands of kilometers per second, without any apparent directionality - the explosion does, indeed, seem to come from inside the planet. This is suggestive of the implied - at least in legends - nature of the Death Star relying on creating a cataclysmic chain reaction that causes the planet's own mass to sublimate into energy. Also something something the ring shockwave. 13:00 Funny enough, 'consuming a star' implies a much, much higher level of power than just... destroying planets. Like, it's so far beyond that it's not even funny. Just figuring out the technology that lets you pack a solar-mass into starkiller base is so far beyond anything we've seen in Star Wars... and then the total lifetime output of a star is... well, let's just say it's way more than enough to do the deed. The gravitation binding energy of the Earth is 2E32 Joules. The average energy output of the sun _per day_ is 3E31 joules. Which means that the explosion of Alderaan represented about a week's worth of solar output, or the annihilation of a millionth of it's own mass (which as I mentioned I think is how it works). The energy of a sol-type star over its lifetime is 1E44 joules. You could mass scatter half a trillion planets with that kind of power. Its mass energy is E47 joules. ... supernovas can get into that range, but square-cube law. Maybe Starkiller base is that kind of inefficient due to diffraction, but... it doesn't _seem_ to be. It fires a beam perhaps a hundred kilometers across and when it impacts it is... maybe a thousand kilometers across. It doesn't scatter to be as wide as the system itself, as something like a Nicol-Dyson beam* would, but it remains more or less coherent. A solar-system scale doomblast would, admittedly, be pretty cool to look at but it somehow still feels out of scope even for the ridiculousness of Star Wars, as opposed to like... Lensmen. I'm pretty sure that was actually _in_ Lensmen. However! The explosion caused by Starkiller base is far less energetic than Alderaan. Hosnian Prime is impacted, partially vaporized, and scattered by the shock. A few seconds after it does seem to 'explode from the inside' just like Alderaan, but this is still less energetic, with velocities of mid tens-of-kilometers per second, maybe low hundreds. Perhaps time is greatly dilated for our purposes, but it still seems... I just think that it was kind of dumb to go with the 'lol it consumes stars' thing. *A Nicoll-Dyson beam is a proposed method of building a dyson shell around a star to focus all of its energy into a laser beam, for when you have Dyson Sphere levels of resources and want to boil a planet, but don't want to go over there.

Riddle me this... if Star Killer Base's energy beam moved faster than light then how can it be seen moving? If it's based on the plasma of a star and, therefore, is not light, then how can it travel FTL without hyperspace? If it's not traveling FTL and there was just one light year between SKB and its victims, then how can it strike within mere moments? Fun fact, the average distance between stars (neighbors) is about 4-5 lightyears. SKB being far from the core striking at core worlds might take upwards of 20 years *if* that energy beam was moving at the speed of light, but it isn't by the fact we can see it moving. So like 1000 years to strike a target or more? Such a dumb and flawed concept.

Also that you showed us in detail that Starkiller Base wasn't just another Death Star it was in fact an attempt to further the range. You didn't mention how like a Sith Lightsaber it also was using a type of focusing lens that is what allowed it to destroy entire star systems but most people don't so it's not a big deal. I do love that JJ made a giant lightsaber that used the long argued superior style of Tràkata but most just likened it to a weaker Death Star.

The movie's blast looks like it would result in an enormous crator, not enough to peel literal chunks out of the moon off. There's certainly no enormous chunks featured in the movie explosion ejecta. There would need to have been a second, significantly larger explosion, once the scene ends, to account for that.

No. Am i surprised they came out with such a dumb excuse for it? Once again, no. Also most of it seems to be intact even though the entire station blew up

I think Scarif is still a Wasteland after the Attack. I think even if the Laser didnt reach the Planet's Core it will still hit the Crust or it Blast through it due to the DS Angel to the Planet with another Hole at the other Side of the Planet. In that "mild" DS Case , all Life will still be erased sadly Just My Opinion , if u got a different, feel free to enlighten me , i can be wrong oc😊
@def3ndr887
@def3ndr887 2 жыл бұрын
Tbf the planet was protected by a shield, so the chances of the beam penetrating the crust and making a hole on the other side would be slim, so it may be safe to say the damage would only effect at least if you’re lucky, only a chunk of the planet, and at most half of the planet being affected by the blast radius, along with global issues. With that in mind there’s a lot to consider with Scarif and slightly more optimism can be considered (that and also I like Scarif so take my input with a grain of salt).

8:20 In Rogue One I always assumed that Tarkin learned from the first shot at Jedah and did not want to put the station in possible harms way, like we seen on Jedah a single reactor even firing directly down had the ability to launch huge chunks of the planets surface and core out into space.... where does that material go when it leaves orbit? Straight up into the waiting Death Star and directly towards the superlaser, my thinking with Scarif was Tarkin learned from that and did not put the Space station directly in the line of fire of the ejecting matter from the planet so as to avoid any risks of damage to the weapon in particular while knowing that even a glancing blow would do enough to disrupt life in that region if not across the entire surface of the planet, especially when you consider he vapourised the ocean with it. Imagine the global tsunamis and storms which would rage on the surface. Terrifying.

Question about the Death Star strike on Scarif: Was the planetary shield still operating when the Death Star fired on the planet? It seemed to be still on in the movie, as they Rebels couldn't send reinforcements down or call back the few ships left on the ground. While the planetary shield wouldn't stop the Death Star on even a low setting, blasting through it should have weakened the beam if not caused it to miss it's target - which seems to be the case because it was off by just a few hundred feet in altitude for a direct, if sideways, strike on the ground base. Did Tarkin deliberately fire at a shielded planet to show, that at even low power, that planets with strong planetary shields would be no match for his new toy? Sounds like something he and the Emperor would do.
