>>3800 Going to echo >>3802 on this one - Stormtroopers weren't portrayed as incompetent until Endor. They completely wrecked the security team onboard the Tantive IV and annihilated the Rebels on Hoth. Their famed inability to aim comes from so-called "fans" not paying attention during ANH - everyone seems to have missed Tarkin's line establishing that the Stormtroopers were missing on purpose in order to allow the Falcon to escape the Death Star.
>>3805 Already in Bespin they were incompetent. They allowed the rebels to escape. There wasn't an order to allow them to escape like the DS. Vader demanded the prisoners to be sent to Executor, Calrissian betrayed him and the stormtroopers couldn't stop 3 people from escaping. Vader had to have people to deactivate the Falcon hyperdrive just in case to have any chance of recapturing then >Endor Endor alone would be the only example needed. It was a critical target, the very shield generator that protected the DS were the Emperor himself was stationed. They had the superior numbers and a defensive position. There was no way they could that disaster to happen. Even more "an entire legion of my best troops" as Palpatine had claimed.
>>3786 Well, WEG did autistically named almost everything in the star wars universe.

Why the TIE Fighter is a good ship Stormtrooper 01/15/2020 (Wed) 18:10:12 No.1841 [Reply]
Guaranteed Rebelboo Butthurt incoming Let me tell you fags why this ship is actually probably one of the best Starfighters of it's generation. For starters lots of retards tend to try and compare it to the X-Wing in an unfair comparison chart neglecting the fact that the ship is actually 20 years older than the X-Wing so they refuse to compare it to it's real competition like the R-41, Z-95 or even Y-Wing which for all purposes it absolutely dominates over. Most Rebel Scum tend to cite it's lack of shields. Most Rebel Scum before they got ships like the X-Wing ended up dead. For starters while it does lack shields, the TIE Fighter is known for taking a glancing hit or two but it's armor protection is not what it should be reliant on. The TIE Fighter for all purposes is a pair of powerful cannons strapped to a highly efficient engine that not only gives it considerable speed but lets it turn on a dime. A TIE Fighter in fact will out-turn an X-Wing in a dogfight and for the Rebel Scum that are unfortunate enough to not have the privilege of flying a toy payed for by spoilt senator daughters misusing daddy's trust fund money, well we have found none left alive to comment. Next what the uneducated masses wrongly criticise is the lack of life support and hyperdrive. They think this limits the ship's range but forget it gives it it's greatest advantage. Not only does it help reduce cost for a ship that is already remarkably cheap and easy to maintain, repair and replace, but it also helps to significantly reduce the energy signature of the craft. Many a deluded fool has found them suddenly descended upon by the Empire with virtually no warning and in nearly all cases the TIE Fighter has been granted the luxury of firing the first shot in an engagement, an advantage that cannot be understated. About the only thing you can truly criticise this piece of perfection for is that is now deserving a true worthy replacement to carry on it's legacy. Now with this information at hand, care to remind everyone why the TIE Fighter is bad again, you Rebel Scum!

>>1842 <incapable of long range missions What for? It's not for privateers, it's for navy that has larger ships for long range missions. Thus it's unnecessary. And if it's unnecessary, it's dumped. Any non-essential hardware either takes place of something essential or adds more mass to haul around in a fight. The less, the better. <muh strength in numbers Yep. <tied by the dick to ISDs It's made for those who have carriers, yes. Well, they did. So, when it's a disadvantage? <not having a tail gunner Having wingmates. See "mass produced" and "strength in numbers". Also, good maneuverability helps.

>>4796 >which doesn't have a hyperdrive and they still call it starfighter There were TIE prototypes with missile launchers, shields and hyperdrive.
>>4796 >Did it really has 20 years? The first chronological appearance of TIEs I'm aware of is in Dawn of Defiance episode 3. >The 12th Squadron is one of the first fighter squadrons to switch over from the now-antiquated V-wing starfighters to the cutting-edge TIE fighter. Episode 4 of DoD takes place 2 years after Order 66 starts. The X-wing is finalized by 1BBY, though it is in the works by the end of DoD >The console displays a ship design with which the heroes are utterly unfamiliar; it resembles a forced marriage of a large Z-95 Headhunter and an ARC-170. If the heroes ask Seejo about the ship, he begins chattering about a Deep Scout design that Subpro and Incom are jointly developing on the Outer Moon of Prakith—until one of the other engineers reminds the chatty Duros that secret does actually mean secret.

Pirated, of course. Yidsney can fuck right off. Don't ever let it touch your money.
That said, what do you guys think of it so far? So far it feels like it's supposed to be a space western. The whole thing about the MC taking care of baby Yoda is going over my head but the combat seems pretty good, and they're actually portraying assassin droids and Imperial walkers as the death machines they're meant to be. The main theme is also pretty great, and doesn't rely on John Williams for once.

>>5398 > baby Yoda will either fall to the dark side completely and utterly, No way, it's working a lot with childless millenials, they'd never make their cute cash grab into an edgelord dark side user.
>>5416 Yeah, that's why he is going back with Mando next season. Be ready for more Luke bashing.
>>5416 If baby yoda is a female, she will be a Mary Sue, if baby yoda is a male, he will be the ultimate beta, telling people that the force is female.

What's your favorite prequel comics? For me, it's the Ki Adi Mundi ones, both Prelude to the Rebellion and Outlander.

>>5274 Maybe it was a mercy killing? That's all I can think of. Like maybe he saw the guy would just be used as a tool for Palpatine and it was obvious he lived a painful life that only awaited more suffering. Best to have just ended it there. Not justifying the ending, just what I try to think to personally justify it.
>>5252 Whats the most expensive comic then? wanna know what to sell
>>5385 The first issue of the 1977 comic goes for about $25,000 last I checked.
