SPECULATION Master Codebreaker Theory

Speaking of which, where did the Raddus suddenly come from? Was it hiding in the asteroid field??

And how did this pitiful band of Resistance fighters get their hands on such a ship? Was it a retirement present for Leia, when she left the senate?

 

So why did she take over after Leia ? A lottery ?

 

This is explained in the film. Leadership was was wiped out except for Leia. Chain of command fell to her.

 

Of course, she's vice admiral ... It's not a rookie rank.

At least, she's Poe's superior and Poe had access in the war room.

 

I'm not gonna continue this silly argument any further.

 

Sure, it's a deadend. But you can put that aside, there's still a lot to go.

 

Love ya @Bandini, sorry you didn't enjoy the film as much as me.

It's pointless to the argue something that's simply a matter of taste. There's no accounting for taste.

 

We had that kind of discussion about Rey's parents at the start of ep VII, I've nothing against anyone, you know it

Good for you you liked it ( even if I don't understand ) but I really don't and it's funny because I was telling people before the movie to stop complain and I can't help complaining since a week !


A good lesson for me

 

I just made the assumption they were pushed out by a mechanism ,rather than simply dropped.

 

Yes but with no gravity, you drop satellites ... Since it gets in the vacuum ...

Maybe they were magnetized ( I'm giving a plausible answer ) but it is not very clever to replace Y Wings with ships that have to come that close to the enemy.

 

You were certainly right a about that and convinced me she was a no one.

 

Thats my reasoning though. they had to get so close because the bombs are simply pushed out with a bit of force, enough to collide them with whatevers right there.

 

However the telekinesis, telepathy, FTL travel (which is scientifically impossible), crystal powered weapons and shooting lightning from fingertips are all just small scientific inaccuracies are they?

Oh and they were using their fuel accelerating to keep them out of range. If the cruiser didn't accelerate and Snoke's ship did they'd get caught. So no, its not an inaccuracy or a plothole.

 

Rian should've just made reactions for Reylo Titanic ship the new fuel. Cringing sounds would've powered them forever.

Also new force "GOD MODE POWER" (people get giant and have super strength) and have Luke and Snoke go at eachother like Godzilla on Crait. Would've been entertaining.

 

No there's no natural deceleration in space. There's no force acting on a moving object therefore it will continue at its current velocity unless an opposing force is applied.

The raddus is being chased by the FO fleet. If they dont burn their fuel to accelerate the craft then they will continue at the same velocity allowing an accelerating FO ship to catch them. Its not astrophysics its common sense.

If one object is accelerating and the other isn't eventually any distance between them will disappear.

You were wrong, there is no plot hole.

 

Are you being deliberately obtuse just to piss me off? Who said they are accelerating at the same speed?

The objective of the raddus was to KEEP THE FO OUT OF RANGE and not piss all their fuel up the wall at the same time. Astrophysics doesn't come into it, its common sense. They didn't have enough fuel to escape, their only chance was to keep the FO out of range for as long as they could.

If you still don't understand, have a 12 year old explain it to you.

 

YOu have to burn fuel in order to accelerate in a vacuum. If the resistance ships had simply remained at a constant speed, and the FO burned fuel in order to accelerate, the FO would have closed the gap. so assuming the FO is burning fuel to close the distance, the resistance would have to accelerate at the same rate as the FO to keep that cushion.

 

Not sure why this thread isn't front and center. Any thoughts on the MC? was kinda of a big plot point, no? stand in for JJ perhaps?
