Yeah, no, like I said, I really enjoyed his video analyzing the concepts of “Star Wars physics” space battles. And it actually all makes sense (which kinda blows my mind!) in-universe.
But the visual of laser bolts arcing through outer space just LOOKS wrong, even in “Star Wars physics”. Most Star Wars special effects to this point try to make things look and feel “right” or “realistic (enough…)” to us as the audience, regardless of what real physics says would happen.
And for me, seeing energy bolts arc through space like a cannon ball from a pirate ship just looks and feels wrong, deep down in my core.
