Hyperspace Skipping

Is it just me, or didn't the same exact thing more or less happen in one of the JJ rebooted Star Trek films?

They saw it in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and thought it looked cool.

I'm pretty sure they still think hyperspace is just going lightspeed instead of into another dimension.

> Has this ever been a thing logically?

In EU books they have what they call micro jumps which they sometimes use to go from one side of the solar system to ride on top of enemy. But not fucking bouncing across the galaxy like a pinball machine.

>SW: Holdo lightspeed rams a ship
>Fans: Why didn't anyone in the past 50,000 years of galactic civilization come up with this idea?

>SW: ACKTCHUALLY it's because there's only a one-in-a-million chance of it working and not just killing the pilot
>Fans: Doesn't that mean Holdo was just trying to run away, and not that she was attempting to perform a one-in-a-million maneuver

lol

Granted, I only watched TLJ once when it came out, but didn't it show the everyone on the command bridge of the star destroyer start to freak out when it became obvious what Holdo was doing? That's not the reaction people have when they have a 1 in 1 millionth chance of dying.

Yeah, they started to panic and Hux ordered that they fire on the ship.

Hidalgo also said it was banned by law in the Empire.Imean good look arresting anybody who tried it, considering they're space dust scattered across a lightyear, but whatever.

In the original Star Wars film they teleported into the mouth of a space monster or something. I don't see how this is any different.

Who cares? Nothing Disney has made is canon other than the duel between Obi Wan and Maul.

>In the original Star Wars film they teleported into the mouth of a space monster or something
wha?

i guess everyone has those hyperspace trackers from the last jedi now

may have been bullshit but it was easily the coolest thing in this movie.

>adults unironically enjoy watching this

Empire Strikes Back. That was the Falcon flying into an asteroid field to avoid star destroyers that we’re chasing the MF. They hid inside a cave on a large asteroid and that was where they flew into the space slug that lived in the crater.

>bands of space terrorists obey war laws
Fucking hack idiots wrote this.

I think you're right.

>Hidalgo also said it was banned by law in the Empire

LMAO

>"Do not under any circumstances slave a droid to a small craft fitted with a hyperdrive and ram it into an Imperial flagship, because it will be an extremely cheap and easy way to destroy the Imperial flagship"

I love this shit.

Correct.

Speaking of Goof wars when I was watching it last week in the space battles the ships didn't have shields.I thought star wars ships had shields?

I thought they just blatantly copied it from Guardians of the Galaxy II. So who cares, Nu Wars are garbage.

Why didn't the CIS just hyperspace ram an armada of capital ships into Coruscant?

One in a million shot bro.

This is wrong on multiple levels

Are you retarded

>banned by law in the Empire

You mean the same empire that farts out plant destroying super weapons like it's going out of fashion?

In all fairness they're first order tie fighter that might have been upgraded with hyperdrives in the 30 years between ROTJ and FA

>Dude you can hyperspeed through shields
>Dude you can hyperspeed ram
Every sequel trilogy movie rewrites hyperspeed.

>Holdo lightspeed rams a ship that is more than 1 billion times the size her ship
>no one of the first order's countless ships picks on this new maneuver to completely obliterate the salt planet and kill all the rebels (resistance).

None of those places are in the EU, Disney just made them up so...

Build a million Doku flying mopeds with hyperdrives

i see we have a guest from that special all female writers group

Nothing in the EU was in the OT. Fanfic writers just made them up so...

They can since TFA

Why does disney not understand how hyperspace works? Isnt the story team around to prevent continuity issues like that?

Before the Last Jedi came out, how did hyperspace work?
I kinda figured hyperspace could only be activated in the hyperspace routes or something so they couldn't crash into shit.

i just realized they still all use the same attack ships

>muh OT
It was just called "jump to light speed" in the OT, it wasn't called hyperspace until the Lucas Arts games.
Checkmate. You need to go back.

>Lucas Arts games
You need to go back.

The EU didn't have a story group, they had like 1 guy. And he still did better than the story group. There were a lot of retcons in the EU, but the retcons are eventually explained in a way that makes sense.
Like the Thrawn books said the Clone Wars was clone masters vs the republic.
When the prequels contradicted this, the EU was like "oh that was like an uprising on Camino during the clone wars"

Basically works like this, while hyperspace is another dimension things with high gravity like planets cast a shadow of you hit that shadow you get ripped out of hyperspace and usually crash into the thing in the confusion. Now routes are basically long stretches where this is no gravity wells so they are safe to travel.

Which entirely defeats the purpose of the TIE fighter. It's supposed to be incredible cheap and disposable. They win through overwhelming numbers.

Thanks to proving why these trud of movies didn't flop

All First Order TIEs have shields and hyperdrives

It's Hidalgo. He don't have to explain it, but he's gonna anyway in the most retarded way possible..

Hyperdrives might have gotten cheap enough that everyone has them plus the first order seems to have infinite resources, manpower and manufacturing capabilities.

So if someone did try to use hyperspace to kamikaze a star destroyer, the ship would exit hyperspace before impact, and crash into the star destroyer at a normal speed.
So hyperspace is not "light speed" its just like another dimension but in that dimension you move really fast, or there is no time, or space is condensed. Something like that.

Basically yeah, this is also why you cant go into hyperspace in atmosphere because the planets gravity well will pull you out immediately. The empire actually weaponized the phenomenon creating a star destroyer that could project a kinda gravity well so that ships could not escape.

So much retards here...

Isn't shooting Imperial soldiers also against the law? Or do they just go by Wild West movie logic, where a captured Rebel is reluctantly released because he was, indisputably, the quicker gunslinger.

I love he every time they "skipped" they were just above the surface of a planet.
Like what are the fucking odds of that.

Yes, and that's why the Holdo manoeuvre is so effective.

She litteraly set the coordinates to jump out of hyperspace at a place where there is a humungous ship. And not to quote Han Solo from the OT, but failing an hyperspace jump into a solid object was always something i was curious to see.

And if you add the fact that some of the Destroyers create their own gravity, it makes even more sense that Holdo's idea worked.

Not only can't i understand the issue with this in TLJ, but even if i had some, i would just shut the fuck up in front of one of the most striking moment in the saga. It's Otomo in live action. You guys are fucking plebs.

>Which entirely defeats the purpose of the TIE fighter
Incorrect.

All they had to do to explain it is that Snoke's hyperspace tracker created a shadow mass or a gravity well or something that allowed the two ships to collide in hyperspace.

Excuse me, the First Order clearly wins by making you feel alone. They made this very clear in the movie.

If you fall out of hyperspace, you're just going at regular sublight speeds and would just slam into a much larger, denser warship. So because you're traveling not faster than light but through a different dimension, basically, you wouldn't hit any harder than normal.

What's funny is they show this specifically happening in Rogue One, when the Star Destroyer comes out of a jump right as the Rebels are trying to leave and they smash into it. It's funny how people disliked it and now it's the only remotely coherent Disney Wars flick

The issue was never that it worked (especially since Disney completely threw out the rules on hyperspace) but that it was treated as some novel brilliance when it would have been the obvious thing to do and completely nullify the threat of giant superweapons.

Did you forget Han hyperspeeding the Falcon through Starkiller's planetary shield and somehow dropping from hyperspace in time to not become a smear on the planet?

According to TFA, when the falcon escapes as the hangar is closing. According to TLJ, the entire building, if not the planet, should have fucking vaporized

When the ships exit hyperspace, it goes right back to the normal speed.
So its not gonna do any more damage than just crashing one ship into another at normal speed.
She just used hyperspace so the rebel ship couldn't be blown up before it got to the star destroyer.

Yeah remember in TFA they used hyperspace to jump past the planetary shield. They are pretty gay about messing with the universe and not mentioning new tech or anything, or maybe they thought they dont have to?

That would require Rian to not be a hack and Disney not saying fuck it 'we'll just publish a novel that explains all the plot holes' before handballing it back to JJ.

This is basically the only one that makes sense as the resulting collision is based on the physics of hyperspace not real space.

You're not taking into account the fact that, if hyperspace is another dimension, you can jump out of it in a place where there is supposed to be something.

In that case, the Snoke dreadnought. So it "theorically" doesn't matter if she's at a sublight speed. It cheats with the fabric of space & time, and i'm delighted with the result.

I'm buying that it's outlawed and unpredictable. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work on a small ship, or even more on a planet.

Yup I think you're right. If that's the case no wonder they keep going back to tantooine and everything would have to be pretty damn close together.
