Imperial Captain: **Strokes chin in deep, deep thought** "I've come up with a plan. We should shoot that Rebel Ship." Imperial Crewman: **sigh** "I can see why you get paid the big bucks, Sir."

[@Lazarultos]

I know this is a joke, but just wanted to say they were probably considering whether the ships were worth destroying or disabling for capture. No matter how big your capital ship is, you're running on limited munitions and energy and you don't want to waste either of that on moves that don't bring good results in a ship battle. Having laser cannons switching to stun/disable means less cannons shooting deadly lasers, which could leave them exposed to bombers/fighters or returning fire from enemy ships if they're not destroying or suppressing them.

[@AlanGChenery]

He concludes that because it's fleeing it might have a vip aboard so orders it targeted exclusively with ions. It's not unfair to consider that for a moment especially as it's against standard imperial military doctrine.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

Of course the same goes for the Rebel Alliance, who boasted a large number of Imperial Defectors. Many of its squadron leaders trained in Imperial Academies before defecting. It's one of the more plausible reasons they succeed as they benefitted from having trained with enemy vehicles and equipment. Shame the latest films treat both sides like they never even trained to use basic strategies to the point of sheer unbelievable idiocy.

I see a lot of these comments talking about how this looks so much better than modern Star Wars, but no one is mentioning how it manages to blend traditional animation and CG better than most anime from the past 15 years AND have a style that looks just as polished and detailed as some of the most impressive shows of the late 80's and early 90's. It's not just Star Wars that's gone downhill and is in trouble, it's the entire animation industry. Computers have made things easier, but they also made expected turnarounds faster and cheaper and lead to overall lower quality results. When you take your time and use them intelligently you can get results like this, and it's breathtaking.

[@Takato2527]

[@namnamodioodooeooeee7509]

NiGHTSnoob this

[@kamaripeart1768]

Yeah, sadly that's not how you make money and this is extremely unviable to keep up without cutting corners; resulting in a similar low quality.

[@alex_ho]

As I understand in the Japan animation industry, the end goal of any anime series isn't the quality of the work, rather the consistent speed in which content is released. Take a look at one of my favourite current anime Overlord, it has rich lore, rich characters, rich places, yet the directors felt the need to cgi the Goblins, Skeletons, Soldiers, and other things that may need to be repeated over and over again, makes the whole scene look out of place and cheap. But it does cut time.

[@NiGHTSnoob]

It's not actually about speed, not directly at least, as Kamari Peart said it's about money. Do it good, do it fast, do it cheap, but you can only pick 2. Speed has always been one of those two, but quality and price have varied back and forth depending on the series and time period. Back in the 80's and 90's you could reliably make money off of home video sales for quality works, like a lot of money. Old OVA's were single hour long episodes sold for the equivalent of $30-40 US (which would be more like $80 today). That sounds crazy today, but at the time home video and anime were still novel and considered worth it. Because of that high price tag though, people expected high quality. If you can make a lot of money by putting a lot of money in, by golly a company will do it, but if you can only get huge returns on 1 show out of 20, and most of your shows are just streamed or watched once on TV and sell really poorly in the Blu-Ray charts, you're going to throw everything at the wall as cheaply as possible to get something to stick. Just compare the old JoJo OVA to the more recent anime series. It's one of the only times you can see the exact same fights animated 25 years apart from each other. The newer one is generally considered to have the more appealing art style, but the older one absolutely demolishes the new one in terms of animation quality and pure detail. That's because it was an OVA with a huge budget per episode, because they expected a huge return per episode. The anime expected a modest return per set of episodes, so the budget is allocated accordingly. Only so many artists are able to work on each episode because there just isn't enough money to hire more, so they each have to work faster which naturally lowers what they can do.

[@timmywoo3572]

Han is a flat statue and the Rebellion is screwed." It was a goddamn long wait as a kid for 1983, to find out WTF was actually going on with the universe you had been drawn into hook line and sinker all those years ago with New Hope. No plot leaks, no teasers. Nothing. You waited 3 years and suffered through every theory and rumor that trickled down from any source you could find as a kid where there was no internet and no one to message and get an inside track like leaks today. It was a secret and we had to wait.

I think you got that backward. Disney turned the Stormtroopers into competent and intimidating soldiers, while under Lucas they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and had their asses kicked by teddy bears with sticks.

This is soo good. The shots are so expressive, I was drawn to the action the whole time even though there was no context to the story. This brings back the glory of the originals, it was like watching the originals! I hope you make more!

[@skellzzed8255]

Is it cuz it's animated? It felt way more original trilogy to me. The way the shots are framed, the timing and the music.

[@nemo0036]

Basically, if Zeta Gundam was Star Wars. Plus Macross judging by the "Itano Circus" missile movement and animation. The animator is apparently a fan of that Golden Age 80's Anime style... as am I.

MineShard001 CT 5555 The whole mini film is a love letter to the Star Wars: TIE Fighter game.

[@ackminecrer9165]

Ren Cen I think he meant a whole anime film for Star Wars

[@jdnelms62]

I saw Star Wars when I was thirteen, back in 1977. I was obsessed with it for years. Now I'm over fifty, I've become sick and tired of the Star Wars franchise, especially the last two movies. This anime is everything I used to love about it. Great show!

[@scouttrooper2726]

I agree! Although, I was born when The Phantom Menace came out.

[@DesertBro]

BINGO! That's why Rogue One is awesome - no sappy "force" BS needed to do the job.

[@abhishek.chakraborty]

I grew up on the prequels, i.e. Phantom Menace onwards, although I did collect Star Wars booklets from Lays even before that 🤗 But, you're right... Disney is *destroying* the _feel_ and ethos of Star Wars completely 🙄 It should've allowed Lucasfilm to retain the creative freedom in choosing the storyline as well as direction, even post-acquisition It would be no exaggeration to say that Disney is trying to _milk_ this franchise as far as possible until people are so disgusted that its virtually *dead*

I was born when attack of the clones came out

@@abhishek.chakraborty I mean, don't forget disney have changed the concept of a lightsaber (Take the latest star wars trailer for instant, kylo ren hits a rebel, a lightsaber would go through that person, cutting him in halve. But instead it stabs into him like a sword and he lifts him up and slams him down like one.) And Disney are also attempting to change the name of Lightsaber to the term "Laser Sword" aka It's not a lightsaber, it's just a sword that glows.
