The graphics are great, but I have two questions:

1. The Star Destroyer looked kind of small to me. Aren't those things supposed to be, like, five miles long?

2. I had no idea the Death Star mega-weapon had that kind of fine tuning. I was half-expecting to see it vaporise the whole planet.

"Captain, wasn't that kind of overkill?"

"We got the enemy ship, didn't we? We had to kill the planet to save it."

After watching that, I have the suspicion that our police forces would feel right at home dressed as stormtroopers. They're pretty close already. :D

In that case you might be interested in learning what really happened on Tatooine all those years ago.

Well it's supposed to be.....

Length: 1,600 meters (5,200 ft)

Width: 1,015 meters (3,330 ft)

It's an anti-grav thang.:03:

I don't recall that scene, is it the same atmosphere as Earth?

Coruscant? Yup, same atmo but, a tad more polluted I think.

No way to prove it though. Star Wars is science fantasy after all.:hmmm:

The scene in question is at the very end of episode III and signified the beginning of the clone war.
Palpatines' grand army of the republic.

I have a question though.... Star Wars takes place a long long long time ago, and Star Trek takes place in the future.

So why/how are both of them in present day San Francisco, I don't think either had the ability to time travel?

Rhodes 05-17-13 06:29 PM

Star Trek universe has time travel. On purpose and due to accidents involving several things!
In Star Wars they never mention it, I think!

Episode II you mean, and those were Republic Assault Ships, which are smaller than Star Destroyers.

In episode III, you do see a Republic Star Destroyer taking off from Coruscant as well.

Raptor1 05-18-13 12:51 PM

I don't recall any instances of an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer operating in an atmosphere, but in the X-wing book The Krytos Trap the (vastly larger) Executor-class Super Star Destroyer Lusankya is able to lift off from under Coruscant's surface and into orbit using detachable repulsorlifts. So even if an Imperial can't operate in an atmosphere on its own like the Acclamators and Venators in Episodes II and III I think it would be a simple matter to fit it with the equipment it would need to do so.

*whispers* Some people need to get out more.

:D
