The Last Jedi: CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Yeah I really liked the kamikaze cruiser part too. I agree that the extremely violent impact and destruction coupled with the silence of space was awesome.

Don’t get me started on leia just chilling in open space for a minute or better.

Any thoughts on how the bombs 'fell down' towards the dreadnaught?  I am going with sophisticated tracking and target locking in each bomb set for First Order power and or communications signals.

Looked to me like the bombs were mechanically launched via a chain rail and drive motor(s).  Could be wrong.

The prevailing fan mental gymnastics shoehorning of what we saw is they'd drop off the rails because they're a rail propulsion system, and they're also magnetic...

Why they wouldn't build something like, oh, I don't know, a "missile" with its own propulsion is a bit beyond me.  REALLY best not pay attention to little details like "physics" in a Star Wars movie.  Bang zoom flashy things!

Then again, you do have artificial gravity on the ship.  I suppose it could be used to get the bombs moving.

Yes, I agree, best to try and not think about physics and Star Wars in the same thought.  Might actually hurt.

I would love to see what a Stanley Kubric production of Star Wars would be like.

[Skuzzy]

Then it would not be Star Wars.  You have to admit, part of the charm with Star Wars is the campy nature of it.  Every time they try not doing campy it was a disaster.

Stanley Kubrick would have made a very fine movie, but it would not be Star Wars.

I think this one got the campy part just right.  It approached the rim of being over the top, but stopped just shy of it, overall.  Just a fun movie.

Thing is, 2D.  Dreadnought Captain should've ordered a roll the moment the bombers were spotted, because at that point he had already destroyed the base on the planet.  His next target was the cruiser which he could've kept in los of his cannon during the roll.  The roll would've bought him at least a few more seconds, which can make the difference.  Had he had literally 5 more seconds, the last bomber wouldn't likely have been an issue.

Of course you'll see more.  I suggest giving them all a look.

We need an Expanse movie, complete with plausible physics.

I think Expanse does just fine with the series.  We just need more of it, and more like it.

It was worth watching, because it is a Star Wars movie but so many missed opportunities with the story and character arcs, ultimately ending right where it started.
At least there was no Death Star this time.  6/10

Anybody reading this happens to have a personal space craft and wish to 'instruct' us readers on how fake the Star Wars scenes are.  Please post video links.  Any space combat footage would be appreciated.

Unfortunately my personal spacecraft is powered by Ford, therefore broken at the moment.

They should just have sphere shaped fighters with a gyro Control. Its much easier to just rotate the fighter and Point the guns at the bad guys, a space Craft in orbit will fly just as fine backwards so there is no need for dog fights. A guy on your six is no longer on your six if you just rotate your ship Pi radians and Point your nose at him...

This is what confuses me

After the bridge was blown out and Leia was floating in space a fair distance from the hull of the ship, how she didnt die. With the vacuum of space, not wearing a space suit, no oxygen, she should of been deaded the moment she was sucked out. But she didnt, and just happen to magically float back onto the bridge. And live. Not a single bruise. Or instant frozen skin from the coldness of space.
