re: 'The Acolyte' Megathread: The Grand Finale is now streaming

My whole point, that you started arguing with me about, is that outside the death star there isn’t atmospheric pressure needed to have explosions like we see
throughout the OT.

You brought up the hangars. and were wrong

You brought up Space Troopers.

You told me to look them up, dipshit

There’s even a name for the storm troopers who patrol the exterior of the Death Star. They’re called zero-G assault troopers or “space troopers”. Anyway here are people on the outside of the Death Star.

Goddamn. You’ve been getting bodied for days. Go touch some grass with your wife’s boyfriend.

So she knows him, and treats him like he is an idiot?

And that proves his competence?

Stop lying Sammy, you haven’t refuted anything I’ve said.

you are trying to refute something I said.

Hangar bays having air doesn’t mean an X Wing outside the death star will explode like that.

More deflection and make believe. Nice try dipshit

It’s a thread moron.

you can go read it.

I never said anything about your silly “ships can’t explode in space” BS but you lied and pretended I did anyway. This is what you do.

No, idiot.

MY point was ships wouldn’t explode like they do in the OT.

I said:

Explosions in space don’t look like explosions on earth. It’s not just oxygen, but we have atmospheric pressure that doesn’t exist at all in space. even with fuel, oxygen and an ignition a space exploration would looks completely different. The explosions were done with actual explosions on earth. they look like earth explosion because they are. space explosions would be a flash of light and the the fire spreading out faster than you could see and then the shrapnel at insane speeds till it hits something’s.

And you said

quote:

---

Wrong, wrong, wrong. First off the Death Stars had artificial atmospheres for personnel and the rest of the space stations were made up of explosive gases and chemicals to power the weapons. Finally if you have ever seen an explosion in space it looks quite similar and with the makeup of the Death Stars would look pretty close to what we saw. There have even been articles praising the accuracy of the Death Star explosions.

You went on about hangar doors and Space Troopers, and I guess you lost the point.

This should raise the level of discourse...

Just out of curiosity, is anyone discussing the actual show in this thread? I haven't watched it, but I probably will get around to it out of boredom sometime down the road... there's just not a lot of shows to watch right now, and Star Wars is a big enough franchise that it will likely draw me (and lots of others) in after awhile.

Is there anything relevant to canon here? Not asking if you like the presentation, asking if there's an actual reason to watch it to keep up with stuff. Emergence of the Sith, etc.

Your straw man is burning up
