How do ships prevent hitting space junk when going light speed? Even a small thing could rip apart your ship at that speed.
>>224003751they have shields
>>224003751Idk but my junk hit your mom last night, if you catch my drift
>>224003751In the EU and OT star wars was a warp drive and you would travel through sub space, another physical plane of existence
>>224003751Standard scifi rules. The ships go into a different dimension where none of that shit is so they don't have to worry about hitting anything
>>224003751If you are going light speed you take on the properties of light, which means you means you become a more a waveform.
>>224003751Hyperspace is a story device to make people go from planet A to planet B quickly.Don't think about it too much, because george lucas didnt either.
>>224003751That's why the best ones usually take time to "plot a course". Presumably the computer chooses a route free of debris. Like a train track that has been cleared ahead of time.
>>224003871but in the sequels they ram that ship when they went light speed
>>224003751In star trek the big dishes under the main saucer are the deflectors. Deflectors push space debris and dust out of the way to prevent high velocity collisions.
>>224003795fpbp>>224003868no the sub-dimension bullshit was eu only, in the ot it's explained that the navicomputer calculates a proper route that avoids meteors and planets, whereas some dickwad eu writer who forgot han's quick exposition decided they just flew in a straight line
>>224003870Then how did that woman General light speed destroy an Imperial Battleship?
>>224003895there's no way a computer could see ahead days worth of light speed travel to see if it's clear. Plus you'd have stuff moving all the time and could get in your path later on.
>>224003983We don't talk about that.Because it's not worth talking about.
it's like autopilot in a tesla
>>224003992>there's no way a computerare you an expert in Star Wars computers?
>>224003870>>224003871no, fucking retards.>>224003895this anon gets it>>224003992space is mostly empty, idiot. lots of big wide open swathes of nothing but the vacuum itself. meteor showers are easy as fuck to track, we've been doing it for decades.
>>224004219>space is mostly empty, idiot.I'm talking about trash that gets dumped, or abandoned small spaceships that you could hit
>>224003964The fans did some mental gymnastics saying that yes they are in hyperspace not normal space, BUT certain things like stars and planets have enough gravity to kill you if you hit them in hyperspace. Small rocks wouldn't though.
>>224004142there's a lot of poverty and primitive ways of life in the galaxy so it's assumed if they havnen't solved that, then their tech isn't that advanced
>>224003868>sub space>physicalThat is not logically sound
>>224004268>I'm talking about trash that gets dumped, or abandoned small spaceships that you could hitand that is what the energy deflector shields are for, nimrod. >>224004312yeah and the navicomputer accounts for gravitational pull and anomalies as such"without precise calculations we'd fly through a star or bounce too close a supernova and that would end your trip real quick"
>>224004219>space is mostly empty, idiot. lots of big wide open swathes of nothing but the vacuum itselfNo it isn't, you fucking retard. Interstellar space is full of extremely tiny particles that would become a massive problem for any ship moving at even a fraction of the speed of light. Even at 0.001 times the speed of light a 1g particle would create an explosive force equivalent to 10kg of dynamite.
>>224003983Because that shit isn't canon.
>>224004455>and that is what the energy deflector shields are for, nimrod.then you could just say they use shields instead of having a holier than thou attitude and using name calling
>>224004505>Interstellar space is full of extremely tiny particles that would become a massive problem for any ship moving at even a fraction of the speed of light.boy i wish i could be this retarded. that shit is irrelevant when it's standard for spaceships in star wars to have deflector shields that push shit like that off.
>>224004585what about the giant worms?
>>224004555nice trips but i will continue to name call and insult your little faggot fee fees for as long as you frequent this board, faggot ass nigger.
>>224003751you want the lucas canon, eu canon or disney canon answer?
>>224004732the worm that inhabits an asteroid? what about it?
>>224004767I wanna know what Sidney Sweeney thinks
>>224004833that worm disrespected my family
>>224004929oh, i'm sorry to hear that. want me to beat his ass?
>>224003795>shield fails for 1 millisecond>collide with dust particle 1 nanometer wide >going 50000x time speed of light>energy release wipes out an entire solar system Or>going lightspeed>suicidal pilot decides fuck it>activates light speed while pointed at inhabited body >rams it>turns shield off before >destroys Alderaan, its moons, its fellow solar bodies, and its star collapses from a ship going 50000x speed if light ramming an entire planet >wipes an entire quadrant from the galaxy map
>>224003870>he ships go into a different dimensionHead canon.
>>224003868No, Han literally mentions in ANH that light speed is just moving real fast through the galaxy and the computer plots the course
>>224004585>deflector shield>going the same speed as the ship>"""deflects""" the particles>still has to hit them at the same speed the ship would>"deflects" the particle at greater than light speed >meaning at best it launches a now beyond lightspeed particle in some random direction >now lightspeed+ particle flies toward Tatooine's twin stars Great, the deflector shield worked!
>>224005417you're as much of a faggot as the stupid plothole nigger that cries about qui-gon not stealing the hyperdrive from watto.
>>224003983Had something to do with mass shadows in hyperspace and them using that new tracking device
>>224004555It was literally the first post in the thread, if you can’t read then you deserve to have names thrown at you
they plotted hyperspace lanes where there are no obstacles connecting various parts of the galaxy together
>>224003751Space is empty.
