Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter Really Was "FORCE POWERED" | (Star Wars Ships)

The Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter really was "Force Powered". See how Kuat built it around the force powered of the Jedi order, who were the pilots of these Star Wars ships. See how it compared to other Star Wars starfighters and capital ships like the Venator and the Imperial Star Destroy. And learn its history from the Delta-6, Eta-2, V-Wing, even TIE Fighter and A-Wing.

[@TheBigExclusive]

Personally, I always thought Palpatine purposely manipulated events behind the scenes to make sure the Jedi Starfighter's were designed without a hyperdrive. Without a hyperdrive, the Jedi could not escape Order 66 easily. Companies were able to get away with it by appealing to Jedi arrogance - the Jedi were getting a "superior" and "lightweight" fighter purposely designed for those with "higher reflexes". So the Jedi didn't really question the lack of protection, or look too deep into it.

[@nagihangot6133]

TheBigExclusive Doubtful. Nothing so meticulous for something so arbitrary. No Jedi can cause trouble Vader couldn't handle even if they survive.

[@virajkadam1684]

Oh come on, if the whiny teenager Kylo Ren can stop a blaster bolt mid-air using the force technique. Then Jedi Masters and Grandmaster, who are supposed to have knowledge of advanced and exotic force techniques, can stop blaster and missiles in their tracks just like Magneto stops missiles fired at the mutants on the island in X-men: First Class. Basically every Jedi Master should be a Magneto on steroids in Force Powers. This logic alone proves that clone wars Jedi Council is Noob to use only lightsaber to deflect in large scale heavy combat.

In Star Wars Saga RPG, I designed an A-Wing with Green Squadron livery that took the Delta-7 approach, including a full size, asymmetric astromech socket for my R4 droid companion.

2:26 "5000G". This is why numbers in sci-fi lore can be so confusing. 5000G equals to an acceleration of 5000 * 9.81m/s^2 lets say 50km/s^2. The max speed of 1260km/h equals to a speed of ~0.35km / s. So, this thing could reach it's top speed (assuming acceleration is constant) within 0.35 / 50 = 0.007s or 7ms. Even ignoring the fact that a maximum speed in space doesn't make sense (there are different limitations but only when we start thinking about fuel, and speeds close to light speed). These numbers mean that once you press down the pedal, your brain is mush. Basically, when you try to explain your fiction with science and you're using real-life numbers and concepts, usually you're just poking holes in your lore.

Flying is for droids, but not for fancy droids. Obi-Wan's aristocratic personality is one of the highlights of the prequels. Also, he must have had some input on the Delta-7B because apparently the astromech droid sits directly in the middle of the pilot's field of view.
