That TIE Interceptor with two triangular wings bugs me. It looks cool, but it has even less visibility than the standard TIE fighter which already has bad visibility.
Agree with this, too.
Fortunately for me, this is something I literally never considered about TIE fighters and I don’t think I’ll start caring about that sort of thing any time soon.
Good for you.
I mean it’s a movie. It’s fantasy, why should something like that matter? You could pick any number of logic holes in ship designs or whatever if you wanted to. The series has never cared about that sort of thing.
Fair enough. I just think the ship designs are one of the more grounded elements where you can talk about their effectiveness and compare their roles. That’s why there’s a bunch of visual encyclopedias with specs and internal diagrams for the spaceships.
I definitely enjoy things like visual dictionaries and cross sections but to me it’s a separate kind of enjoyment. The films are what they are and then those come next as fluffy little explainers. There’s plenty of things in the films that doesn’t really make sense that you just roll with because it’s cool (like how are walkers the most effective approach exactly?). If anything to me it kinda makes the additional materials more fun in their own way to see how they try to fix or rationalize things (like the Falcon interior being too big, or the astromechs not fitting in Naboo fighters, etc.).
I just realized that Threepio also has Rey’s staff. How a droid with no arm mobility could use it is beyond me.
At first I just thought that was just a Knight of Ren’s weapon sticking up but no, you’re right, he’s got it slung around his shoulder. With that considered, it honestly kinda looks like he’s just carrying Rey and Chewie’s stuff (he doesn’t even have his hand on the bowcaster’s grip).
