STARWARS EPISODE VII: The Force awakens / Episode 8?! Already?

[Qwepir]

To be fair, he was 9 at the time, and the only thing he had ever flown was a pod-racer, which you can't even spin, since they're like 10 feet wide, but fly 5 feet froom the ground.

He was at least better at piloting in Ep. 2/3.

i sincerely hope you aren't seriously defending the "wacky kid accidentally accomplishes what trained pilots couldn't" premise
did he even pilot anything in 2 though? i mean he flew a speeder around at the beginning but didn't do anything too extreme with it and then he jumped into traffic to try to murder the worst assassin in the universe

TR-8R isn't in the poll. I can't properly vote.

Nah, I'm not defending the way he saved the day in Episode 1. That was bullstuff.

Just saying that you shouldn't discount him as a good pilot just because he was stuff the first time he used an actual spacecraft when he was 9.
He was better in the speeder in Ep 2, and was at least good at piloting in Ep 3.

WHERES TR-8R??????

I don't think you understand this thing called the force

'Ehh, Force or not, Anakin being able to destroy the Trade Federation ship was ridiculous at any rate.
He didn't know any of the controls at all, and for the most part, it was locked on rails.

Which, by the way, begs the question of HOW did the Naboo Fighter have a path pre-coded into it to fly directly into the hangar of the Federation ship?
And if that could be planned anyway, why did they even need human pilots? The only thing the auto-pilot wasn't able to do was fire the cannons. Surely a cheap astromech droid could have done that anyway.

I understand the force, it's a plot coupon that lets you have a character do whatever you want, no matter how stupid it is. Sometimes it's presented in a way that's logical within its context and that doesn't break willing suspension of disbelief, like when Luke guided the torcreepes into an exhaust port after a dangerous and hard-fought battle. Other times, it's a shield from accusations of terrible writing, like when a 9 year old with no starfighter experience accidentally but perfectly evades hundreds of killer robot fighters and blows up a mothership while the actual trained fighter pilots were being butchered.

All luke did was fly to the death star, go through the trenches, had han shoot vaders side dude to bounce them away, then happened to land his torcreeps in a 2 meter hole while the trained pilots got shot up.

Saying that the force guided him in destroying the trade federation ship is the worst cop-out ever. What would have been interesting is the writers and director coming up with an actually good way for the ship to be destroyed rather than space jesus in annoying kid form pilot his magic macguffin plane that he is barely trained in using destroy a giant ship he shouldn't be able to destroy and then for the next twelve centuries endure bad jokes about how that situation was 'just so funny'

Are you some kind of handicap or just trolling? If you seriously can't see the difference between the death star attack, in which Luke nearly gets killed at least twice (first needing to be bailed out by wedge, then later by han), and Anakin's playful space romp in which the audience is completely aware that he is never in any danger whatsoever, then you're a lost cause.

jesus im not saying the writing was good but we're discussing how it was possible for it to happen and the only explanation is the force damnnn guys

loving chill dude lmao i never siad there wasnt a difference

[IkeTheGeneric]

the only real explanation is that george lucas already wrote the script and forgot to explain how the ship blew up so he threw in some handicapped scene with Token Kid McGee because he had to appeal to comedy

Quick question *this is starwars related*
im making a starwars rp

which timezone should it take place??

Prequels
Original
Sequel

[Lockebox]

Rey is my favourite

But Rey is as cheap as a force using character gets. Tbh i think the film could live without her.
