10 Star Wars Scenes Everyone Gets Wrong

[@graemeottey]

Everything can be explained, from a certain point of view.

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

About Luke deciding to kill ben. And not being "squeaky clean.".... Sorry this is a long one. At the end of movie 6, with both the villains trying to push Luke over the edge. He finally snaps and lets the dark side take control when Vader taunts his sister. When the Emperor applauds Luke's mistake, Luke realises and composes himself and proclaims he's a Jedi like his pops. That's where the Emperor realises Luke cannot be turned - even after totally going all Sith on his old man - and decides to kill the young Jedi. And in the process Luke redeems his father. The whole original trilogy is about Luke overcoming his shortcomings, and achieving his Jedi potential. So the idea he'd kill his own nephew is ludicrous and offensive to the characters legacy. Plus the fact he "sensed the dark side" in his nephew, is not how the dark side works. Giving in to your emotions leads down that path.

[@mercatorjubio3804]

Exactly. Rian Johnson is just a total hack, who never should have written and directed anything Star Wars. Nothing more to say about that.

[@TheGASMass]

Luke grew up bulls-eyeing swamp rats for fun. He was never merciful behind a light saber either. He was no choir boy. He had what it takes to get the job done.

[@vincent412l7]

The Stormtroopers were ordered to miss, apparently they were never ordered to stop missing.

[@frederikferguson2571]

I mean if we really think about it only the Echo base part dosnt ad to in that regard. Vader only used Han and Leia and even had a deal with Boba regarding Han so thats a pretty good reason to keep them alive. As for Luke well bog much of a reason to turn Luke to the dark side if the same Luke is dead am I right Thatt leaves Endor where the Stormtroopers actually handed themselves quite well. They did manage to surround them around the shield generator after all so if not for chewie the rest (apart from Luke for obvious reasons) would basically be done for it

@@JonathanBresnihan77 Stormtrooper armor is meant to resist blasters not blunt force. For a real life example in the late medieval times a Knight's armor was incredibly good against Bows but a hammer could still kill them.

[@richardbradley2802]

I remember in Rebels where Rex puts a Stormtrooper helmet on, and finds he can't hit squat! 'I Can't see a thing in this'.

[@Growly.]

well that was a mistake. Lucas himself said that the apparent bad aim of the stormtroopers despite the fact that obi-wan on tatooine said "only imperial stormtrropers are that accurate" was a deliberately ploy to allow the heroes to escape so they could track them...

[@muffinman-zd4gd]

Nowadays everyone thinks they have bad aim so they make shows and films where they have bad aim, and make reasons

[@zacharybyford8200]

In legends (I don't know about canon) that was an anti-theft countermeasure. If the wearer didn't press two hidden buttons while putting on the helmet then the heads up display wouldn't activate and they would be limited to seeing through tiny pinholes.

We can still make fun of Anakin's line, "I wish I could just wish away my feelings." LOL

[@RictusHolloweye]

I think I've figured out why people hate his dialogue so much. It reminds everyone of when they were an awkward youth trying too hard to woo their crush.

[@draygoon69]

As far as the bombs, you don't even need magnetics. You can use basic physics. Objects in motion stay in motion. The release mechanism could have easily been some form of pushing system to send them in a certain direction. And since there is no force pushing back they will keep going, The only reason people consider it a flaw is the fact that most Sci-fi stories always have the ships meet with the same side being up, but in space there is no up and their built in gravity systems is what keeps them from floating around. It is very rare to ever see space crafts meet in a way where they are not facing the same way.

[@screwielewie]

Indeed. The bombers could have tilted themselves 90° backwards and "launched" the bombs forward at the enemy ships from a distance. Or could have simply gone underneath and launched upwards.

[@jedislap8726]

Not only that as we see, there IS gravity inside the bomb bay, and as such, when the bombs start dropping they would continue to drop in zero gravity due to the original motion.

[@jasoncallow860]

A spring...

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

TBH, I never really thought much about it. There are so many other devices they have that seem to ignore gravity, for example the speeders, I just assumed that there was some sort of a mechanism either in the bombs or in the launcher that gave them the necessary velocity to hit the target. The specifics aren't really that important.

[@garrynewby1442]

Can't believe the bomb thing is still a thing but the bombers themselves are impractical. They Y wing is a bomber and it's far more effective than the slow moving bomber things. Besides they could have used seismic chargers. Far more effective than some magnetic bomb

[@zooropa04]

Gotta admit, I never thought about the Stormtroopers being ordered to miss before. Kudos.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Neither did I, but I also didn't complain about them missing so much. Years later when we learned more about the clone wars and the origins of the storm troopers, it probably would have raised some flags, but at that point, I'd watched the previous movies many times. Plus, it was a pretty common trope during the '70s and '80s for the bad guys to miss a ton. Just look at how often the bad guys on the A-Team missed. Or really people in general on that show missed. You got a lot more action and could still show it on TV.

[@johnbower7452]

I'll grant that yes the Stormtroopers were told to 'miss' in A New Hope, but what about all the other times they couldn't hit a barn door? Even when they were obviously not told to miss.

[@lonnieeastin6401]

And Obi-Wan said "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." earlier in the movie. And then the miss everything. They could've been ordered to miss on the Death Star. But what about Tantooine? And the rest of the films.

[@TLowGrrreen]

And what about the fact that their armor is useless against blasters and lightsabers?😂

[@TimberWolf99]

Tantive IV - They utterly mop the floor with the Rebels with at most 3 troopers going down on-screen, and no guaruntee that those guys are actually dead. Tatooine - Utterly chaotic situation in the landing bay that didn't last long, and Han didn't hesitate to start shooting anyway. Those Troopers were likely planning for an arrest, not a firefight. Hoth - Tight corridors inside the base with plenty of cover and the Snowtroopers didn't know the layout of the base the way the Rebels did, who were also mounting a retreat rather than holding their ground. By the time they arrived in a more open and ideal killzone, the hangar bay, the heroes had a huge head start on them and were aboard the Falcon before any troopers could try and take any shots. Bespin - Literal urban warfare with very similar advantages for the Rebel side coupled with the assumption that the Falcon's hyperdrive was still disabled, and definitely ordered to back off when Luke did his suicide dive stunt. Endor - If you can stop being a whiny child about the Ewoks for five seconds, it's very clear the Stormtroopers are wrecking the Rebels and Ewoks for most of it - One Rebel even gets sniped while ducking behind cover on top of the bunker. It's only after Chewie and a pair of Ewoks hijack an AT-ST that things finally start turning for the Rebels. Also, one of the troopers scores a hit on Leia with a barely-aimed snapshot while she's crouching behind cover.

[@TimberWolf99]

@@TLowGrrreen *everything* is useless against lightsabers except for very rare materials that wouldn't be worth using for standard troopers (and some of them are even more ineffective against blasters, such as cortosis), and just because someone goes *down* doesn't mean they're dead. Even in real life full-plate body armour (which may not even be able to stop a full-size rifle round) doesn't completely negate the kinetic energy - Serious bruising, being knocked down, internal injuries, and even unconsciousness can still happen even from pistol rounds.

[@blastechee-3546]

[@neffyboy]

On number1: yeah, Padme was saying how much she liked the beach to a guy who lived in a desert.

[@Meushell]

I don’t like The Last Jedi, but the bomb complaint never made sense. Whether it was magnets or something else, do we really need to see the characters having a conversation about why the bomb launching weapon is able to do what it was clearly designed to do? This would be like bitching because the characters are on starships, but- *gasp* -they aren’t floating! The horror! Or just use common sense.

[@Sephiroth144]

And they are clearly above a planet, but not high enough to be completely out of its gravity well. Every other bomber that gets taken out starts falling, for example...

[@screwielewie]

My only complaint would be for how slow and fragile they were. With Po getting the blame for them getting destroyed when the fault lies with whoever built/ commissioned them. An off hand comment about them being mining/industrial ships not built for combat but having no choice but to use them anyway would have helped here.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Yep, it's not like we haven't already seen other items that seemingly ignore gravity, for example all those speeders. The only bit about the bombs that's a bit off is that they are in perfect columns even after leaving the bomb bay. I suppose if there is a magnetic component, that could keep them lined up, but probably more thinking than it's worth. At a certain point thinking about things like that just distracts from the story. Which is probably why it becomes an issue. If you're going to watch it dozens of times, you'll notice things like that.

[@kenbrown2808]

Anakin was socially awkward. the dialogue reflected that.

[@mm-yt8sf]

and obi wan even commented about stormtrooper accuracy when looking at the jawa vehicle

[@tharivol123]

No he does not. He says "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are this precise." Accuracy is hitting where you are aiming. Precision is hitting the same place every time, even if it isn't the target.

If I remember correctly. The force kick is also mentioned from the point of view of the other guy in Star Wars: From another point of view

[@mattcaetano5126]

Aside from the stormtroopers potentially being asked to not hit our heroes on the Death Star, almost everyone overlooks two things: that the stormtroopers and all Imperials were actually great shots. And that the heroes were actually experts at evading of being hit. They hit Leia on the Rebel Blockade Runner. 3PO on Cloud City. R2 on Endor. And Leia again on Endor. Furthermore they laid waste to most of the Rebels on the Tantive IV. Melted the flesh off Luke's aunt & uncle. Bullied the Tatooine populace. And annihilated 27 out of 30 rebel fighters at the Battle of Yavin. Overwhelmed with lethal force hundreds or thousands of rebels at the Battle of Hoth. Subjugated the planet Bespin. Took put rebel commandos and dozens of Ewoks on Endor. Destroyed thousands of rebels and their ships at the the battle of Endor. And hit main characters 4 times! Imperials are great shots. Furthermore, the rebel heroes are lethal themselves and experts at escape. The droids are deeply programmed to evade and survive. Chewie, Lando, and Han are lifelong soldiers of fortune, smugglers, and rogue spacers used to staying alert, escaping alive and using deadly force. Luke and Leia were trained in survival and defense and are the offspring of the strongest Jedi maybe ever and have that force instinct to duck and parry 11:10 attacks. They are all that good, thats why they are not killed.

There is gravity in space. That's what keep the planets in orbit. If the dreadnought was keeping the same position above the planet, you know to shoot the resistance base, then it would have to have its repulsors on to keep from falling. In other words, a stationary ship has to fight the planet's gravity. The bombs would fall because of this gravity.

[@rogermurph101]

If a ship is in position above a planet, it’s in orbit. Repulsors are for atmospheric flight. At the height above a planet that you’re in orbit, gravity would have no influence over those bombs.

[@screwielewie]

Pretty sure the bombs didn't fall in the direction of the planet. I'd have to watch it again though, but I can't bear doing so 😬

[@StarskyBuba]

If the bombs were magnetic then surely they would cling to the side of the bomb bay shoot. As it appears to be metal too and magnetism is going to find the least path of resistance to be attracted to. So that doesn't work as an argument, for them trying to find a source and target, that's many many meters away instead.

The one thing I felt that was out of character for the in universe physics was hyperspace in a planers atmosphere when it's swt up that it wouldn't work in the gravity well of a planetary body.

[@erakfishfishfish]

The bombers in TLJ were paying tribute to the space combat scenes in A New Hope-they’re based on (and in some cases, shot-for-shot remakes) of WWII arial combat footage. And besides, the moment the films used sound in space, all physics pretty much goes out the window.

[@mattcaetano5126]

Thanks for bringing attention to all these things fans get wrong. If you do another one with more, heres a huge one: Lando did not betray Han Solo. Its all right there in the script, the various adaptions and onscreen. The deal was to temporarily detain the group to lure an enemy of the Empire to Vader. A Luke Skywalker who Lando was unaware was their friend. Not telling Han and co. the Imperials were there was the worst he did, and that was being put in that tight spot of having to keep from being killed himself and to protect his thousands of citizens at Bespin. Temporary detainment to get a wanted man to the Imps and save your friends and community and keep Cloud City free from Imperial meddling was the obvious option everyone would take. The fact Vader and the Empire kept changing the deal to their advantage lead to his flipping the script back at them, to get his people warned so they could try to escape, help his friends escape, and to do the same for Han. Lando got justice for the grievances and the last laugh at the Battle of Endor.

Regarding TLJ's bombs: so is the remote detonator also magnetic? If the bombs are magnetic why don't they attach to the bomber? Wouldn't it have been easier to explain it by saying the dreadnought gravity well pulled the bombs down on itself?

[@Sephiroth144]

They're still close enough to D'Qar that the planet's gravity would affect the detonator- which does fall much more slowly. (We also see other ships that lose power start to fall downwards towards the planet.) The "magnetism" is part of the bombing method- like slow railguns, the racks the bombs are in push/pull them out of the bomb bay; the bombs themself then use magnetism to "lock on" to the vessel they were "fired" at

[@ZlothZloth]

@@Sephiroth144 Weird that they would lock on that way, unless the target on the ship is metal and the surrounding stuff is ceramics.

[@Sephiroth144]

@@ZlothZloth Not if its just generally pointed that way (i.e., moving in that trajectory anyway, with the magnetism giving it a tad of "fine tuning" on the way "down")

They presumably didn't use magnetic metals on either ship's hull. The magnetism is just how they get launched and maintain their order as they leave the ship. Inertia is sufficient to get them the rest of the way.

The bombs in the Last Jedi didn't need to be magnetic to explain how they fell. They fell for the same reason that Paige herself fell to the bottom of the bomber. They were given downward momentum by the bomber's internal artificial gravity before exiting the ship, and they would have kept this momentum once leaving the ship until they struck something because space is a vacuum and there would have been nothing between the bomber and the dreadnought that could have acted upon the bombs to slow them down or stop them until they hit the dreadnought. The magnetic explanation works too, but it was unnecessary.

the reason why the bombs are an issue is that Rose's sister died from them and this is the only tome we see the character. As if she died to create Rose, who has no impact on the story other the preventing Finn's death which put the bade in danger. We have no issue with sound and fire in space But since the bombs caused her death and Y-wings exist it stands out. A simple line like "Drop the magnetic bombs." Or "we can't use Y-Wings." Would have helped. 3PO's silver leg was on the 90s toy

[@Tharus12]

Rose does have a point to the story. She was all about the resistance, the cause. Finn was the opposite, he was still out for himself as he was in the Force Awakens, apart from Rey. His concern was for him and his friend. Not the resistance. Rose was there to get him to put others before himself, to believe in something bigger than him. Whilst her development was the opposite, to not be just about the cause, that everything was black and white. That's why she saved Finn. Thats the biggest problem with the Last Jedi, having it set immediately after the Force Awakens. A good portion of character development had to be fitted in to the film. To put it another way, the needs of the many outweigh the few or the needs of the few outweigh the many. That's the plot for those two characters.

[@Lensman864]

The bombs: Everyone gets this wrong and this video is not different. Firstly, that close to a planet and the ship IS still in the planet's gravitational field. For our 21st Century spacecraft to remain in space we need to orbit at great speed and fall over the horizon continually but a Star Wars spacecraft can use its anti-gravity drive to hover in one place over the planet; geostationary but low! QED, if the bomb bay is excluded from the effect of the anti-gravity drive then the bombs WILL fall straight down like any other bomb in planetary gravity!

[@sidgartha8123]

Not the last Jedi has some cool scenes, but it’s ultimately just boring and doesn’t move along the story. It’s fine if you want to say people fundamentally change, but you can’t fundamentally change character, offscreen, and expect people to be happy

[@TheMonkeyBizzness]

Magnetic bombs is idiotic, as they would just be attracted to the very metallic ship they are currently in. The bombs are not falling. They are reacting to the bomber ship’s internal gravity upon being released. Rose’s sister falls to the bottom of the bomb chamber, which means there is internal gravity within the bomber ship. When the bombs are released they fall within the ship and exit the open hatch at the bottom of the ship. Once out in open space they simply continue along their trajectory, which just happens to be toward the First Order Destroyer.

[@GioMarron]

Bombs CAN fall in space - for example, if they are dropped partially from a ship and start their fall within its artificial gravity, the momentum will allow it to drop in space. It will encounter little force to slow its movement. The only argument’ is that in the multidirection of space time, it’s not ‘falling’ so much as travelling Now, you want to talk about where Star Wars DOES fu is when ships ‘fall’. A vehicle travelling ‘forward’ from its perspective then is destroyed would not alter direction unless what hit them was of sufficient force to alter its direction. This isn’t what we see. A weapon fired from the side of the target hits and destroys it, and it immediately heads in a downward motion, which is impossible unless being pulled upon by a force, such as a gravitational force And yes, it may be a film about space wizards but the laws of physics are universal, which encapsulates a ‘Galaxy Far, Far Away’ So nyaaaaah 😛

[@thespicemelange.1]

So the Jedi are the equivalent of an American sailor. 👌

The bombs were magnetic? That was the best they could come up with. Not the fact the ship had artificial gravity that would have started their decent, then continue moving in that direction once it hit zero gravity?

It's actually pretty good. They are themselves magnetic and probably alternating in polarity, which allows for a magnetic field to accelerate them out of the bomb bay and keep them in those columns.

The bombs were magnetic, the ships weren't. They had a magnetic launcher to help with cases where they're bombing things that are in deep space or where the planet is too small to have a significant gravitational field.

Dude the last Jedi screwed everything up I waited 30 years to start taking my kids since I was a kid and Disney just screwed it up worse and worse and worse and worse

[@Boxkerp]

Wrong Wrong Wrong. The Bombs would fall. "Well as they slowed when leaving the ships ) They are in orbit of a planet. They are not in zero gravity. Satellites, the space station, rockets, and shuttles are all falling but also moving. Or have forward velocity (I think that's the correct way to put it). That's why they orbit. They are in a free fall but are moving fast enough to fall around the earth. If you throw an object, it will travel a distance and then fall. If you throw it fast enough to reach the curvature of the planet (but not too fast to escape its gravity), the ground would curve away and the object would be in an endless fall. Thus an orbit. The ships are in orbit of the planet but once the bombs leave, without their own proportion, they would fall. Probably not like in the movie because they are at an altitude with considerably less drag than if they were lower in the atmosphere.

[@JADEK111]

Ah, yes. The "everyone gets it wrong but we get it better than everyone!" video.

[@craigmorris4083]

Hang on...the bombs are magnetic? What about all of the magnetic stuff that is a lot closer to the bombs...like the ship carrying them? The "they were in a gravity field" would have been a much more believable explanation. After all, everyone acts like they are in a stable gravity environment. That bomb release thingy...ah...dropped.

[@screwielewie]

Even if we allow that the bombers themselves were somehow non magnetic, the bombs would just be attracted to each other.

#10 Then why would "The Chosen One" create said balance, becoming a Sith Yoda said, "A Prophecy, misread, could have been" It didn't say that he would Destroy the Sith... He created scaled balance, even amounts of Good and Evil; Balance. What is good without evil?

[@jinxie712]

The Jedi themselves were out of balance. Anakin took out the current Jedi to restart. Luke really didn't have time to learn the philosophy of the Jedi dogma. Then add in the ST with him learning even more about the Force and training Rey even further away from the Republic Jedi.

[@cinequanon9295]

Magnetic bombs is even worse than forgetting about gravity absence. Pushing bombs magnetically is like trying to recreate a catapult in space. It's the least efective useage of technology, in a scenario where drones, droids, vehicles and EVERYTHING can be self propelled. Late and lame excuse.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

But, they were within the gravitational well when those were being dropped. They didn't forget about gravity, the magnetism is what explains how they remained in formation and how they were launched from a ship that might need to use them in space without the benefit of gravity.

[@jukebox1138]

Ok , then tell us what is balance to the force ? What occurs when there is balance ?

[@johnbower7452]

I never did understand the complaint about the bombs 'falling'. To me it was always obvious they were 'fired' in a 'downwards' direction from the *ahem* B17's.

[@Sephiroth144]

Indeed; heck, they weren't exactly in deep space- they were still in D'Qar's gravity well (though doubtful it'd be as strong as the bombs speed would indicate)

[@elleryvandooyeweert9655]

Or how about the artificial gravity in the ship? If the bombs are released in the artificial gravity, as soon as they left the ship, inertia would keep them going directly down til they hit something.

[@daviddavies3637]

@@elleryvandooyeweert9655 That is exactly the reason I've applied to it ever since I first tried to figure it out. The "magnetic" bombs thing just doesn't work and would put the bombers themselves at risk. Remember that although there is gravity, the strongest gravity is whatever they use for interior deck plating and that itself is unidirectional, which is why we don't see imperials walking on ceilings. Some of that gravity is going to leak upwards from the ship. So, if the bombers attack from above, the bombs get caught in the gravity with no risk to themselves of the bombs deciding to turn around, as they would do if they were magnetic.

[@kwinn00]

I never understood people defending those awful bombers...

[@Tharus12]

​@@daviddavies3637not forgetting the Star Wars universe has repulsor technology and tractor beams. Both which could be used to provide the "momentum" needed to make them fall.

[@edmorris2466]

Wouldnt the bombs hit the ship thats dropping them. Its closer and also made of metal

[@screwielewie]

Could be some non magnetic metal, but then there's nothing stopping the bombs from being attracted to each other.

Got a point about the sand though, it is massively overrated.

#2 - Alright so you're making two entirely separate and contradictory arguments here, neither of which makes for good *storytelling* or a satisfying arc from the last time we saw Luke (RotJ) - Either he completely forgot all of the lessons he had learned throughout the OT and regressed his character development, or a huge amount of character development that would get him to that point was entirely skipped over to make him an entirely different character than we had seen before.

[@Finfection]

What is the character development you are referring to in this case? Would it be that he rejected a dark impulse before, therefore he should never feel dark impulses again?

[@screwielewie]

Indeed. I think we can all agree that a trilogy depicting the rise of the First Order, Luke's fall from grace and Ben tuning to the dark side would have made for a much better story than the fan fiction* we actually got. *(Not actually fan fiction as that would require those writing it to actually be fans)

[@TimberWolf99]

@@screwielewie There's another KZbin channel, Overly Sarcastic Productions, that talked about time jumps and specifically mentioned the RotJ->TFA & TLJ jump and how incredibly dissatisfying those developments (or regressions) were.

[@kevindagod]

If you make something happen in a movie. You have to explain IN THE MOVIE. Not directors making stuff up afterwards or in a series later. Of something happens in a show or movie you can't later explain it somewhere else and say fans are stupid for calling it out. They made up the excuse after the movie because people called it out. It was bad action and story telling.

[@Finfection]

Then people would complain that they wasted screen time explaining shit. lol

[@KyloBen2016]

I agree with you about some of the more complicated stuff, but then there also needs to be stuff that you just let the audience figure out on their own, otherwise they may feel like the writers think they're stupid.

[@kevindagod]

@KyloBen2016 sure things can be open but when it's shit like "somehow Palpatine returned" that's just dogshit. And you have to read about it in a comic how he returned. Terrible story telling.

[@Finfection]

@kevindagod They do explain in the movie how he returned using clone bodies and essence transfer. The "Somehow Palpatine returned" line is from a character's viewpoint early in the movie and is not the movie's explanation for how he returned. You might be confusing this with the origins of Snoke, which did have to be explained in other media.

[@kevindagod]

@Finfection where did they explain it? They showed old bodies of smoke but no one ever said he was cloning himself etc etc. It's not explained.

[@daviddavies3637]

That explanation for the bombs is dumb AF. If they're magnetic, even if they begin to drop out towards the target, as soon as they left the bomb bay, they'd just as likely slow down because of the magnetism of the bomber, which is closer, and turn around. I've always thought that a better explanation was simple. There's no gravity in space but ... why isn't the pilot floating around? The Star Wars universe has technology that can produce gravity in ships. That level of gravity isn't going to be confined to the interior of the ships. And as that gravity seems to be unidirectional, the bombs would have worked if they flew over the top of the ship but not the bottom. And that's what they seemed to do, IIRC. And because the gravity on ships is unidirectional, there's no risk of the bombs deciding to turn around and hit the bomber. So, there you go. Easy explanation that works, insofar as any sci-fi explanation for anything works.
