Star Wars 7 shit talk

If its using repulsor lift (lol) then why bother with the ball

The new droid that accompanies Daisy Ridley and John Boyega’s characters on their journey through JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens is basically a ball with a small R2-D2 styled head. Inside the body of the droid, there is a weight on a pole. The weight is heavier than the head, which is constructed out of a light metal, allowing the head to always remain upright as the body rolls on the ground. The artist, Jason Ward, separated the sphere, as the official Lucasfilm concepts did, to show how the mechanisms work. However, the new droid does not do that in the film. An abundance of gadgets can be stored inside the droid, including many mechanisms and defenses. To allow the droid to operate functionally on screen as a puppet, the ball is allowed to role on two tracks that are either obscured or digitally removed.

There ya go

What's this droid's function supposed to be? It seems like it might work as an off-road one of these: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MSE-6-series_repair_droid

imagine the top is a hat, with an inside rim filled with ball bearings

where does the hamster go

i like the chainsaw

i kinda wanna rewatch the prequels now

they will be good this time

+ had no idea there was a ton of leaked concept art?? incl like 10x the Shit To Ponder than the trailer? this thread should have 15,000 more posts

if anything i think JJ's gonna play things too carefully for fear of resembling the prequels and the universe is gonna be lacking in all the wonky WTF shit from the originals like that spaceship posted upthread (also my favorite thing ever as a kid)

I wonder how the purchase will affect Star Wars 1313, still in development.

I've come to grips (lol) with the new light saber hilt by treating it as a muzzle brake.

i feel like i should be uploading the USS Enterprise blueprints i once owned, but wrong thread

Au contraire. There's no better way to troll Star Wars fans than with Star Trek stuff, e.g.

Okay, now I'm excited. This is really nice art.

wait what art

Enjoyed a lot of the writing in this:

FWIW occurred to me that the theory that a lightsaber could just slice through the cylinder on the hilt is very silly -- the handle/cylinder has to be "lightsaber proof" or else it wouldn't be able to contain the lightsaber.

No

That's likes saying a gun is bulletproof and can't be injured by a bullet fired at it

I'm gonna have to revoke your nerd credentials

of course the handle is lightsaber proof

if the handle is light saber proof then they should make a suit of armor out of that material

Properties of matter in the Star Wars universe: solid, liquid, gas, Force, lightsaber, lightsaber handle.

Actually I guess it could be like the energy or whatever is focused through lenses and only achieves full strength as it leaves the handle.

did you know that planes are missle-proof and tanks are artillery-proof

so obviously not the same thing god

Clowning Hurting talk

how many midichlorians can dance on the head of a pin?

space, that's where I'm a viking.

are flamethrower barrels flameproof?

Checked the concept art. So much T&O.

Stormtroopers in trailer are very T, not sure if that was already pointed out

Definition of T&O please?

idgi, weren't stormtroopers and every vestige of the Empire destroyed when the Jedi Returned? or am I being naive?

yeah the lightsaber light beam is collimated so the photon density drops quickly away from the beam center. and if it uses a lens that is some sweet material that isn't destroyed by the lightsaber, that material would be transparent to lightsaber and would be useless as armor.

killing the emperor and blowing up their giant space weapon (mark II) doesn't mean the rest of the apparatus just disappeared into thin air?

I'd imagine there'd be tons of surplus armor, guns, and ships to sell to local police departments, too.

Lightsabers use a jewel xp

guess I'm sayin 'not destroyed by lightsaber' /= 'useful as armor against lightsaber'. you need a material that reflects lightsaber. so the armor would have to be made of whatever the fuck is reflecting the lightsaber beam at the tip.

xp does the jewel focus the beam? or is the jewel just the source of all of the lightsaber photons?

Lightsabers use a jewel xp

Nah they were supposed to get saphire but the supplier couldn't produce so they went with a specialized glass

Definition of T&O please?
