in comics they were shown dropped from star destroyers

Its way easier to animate a dropship than a walking machine with 4 legs. Thank Tippet and shut up.

The whole sequence was about the legs. You start with a premise and then build around it.

>>218304769
No, for simple dramatic purposes it makes way more sense to not reveal the Empire's scary walkers until just when the action starts.
Showing a landing scene sounds like something some shitty remake would 100% do though.

No. Nor was I bothered about what that giant space worm in the asteroid field lives on when there is clearly nothing for it to eat.

Nor was I bothered about Luke's X-Wing having hyperspace capability when in ANH we were told that a Tie-Fighter (a comparable craft) "couldn't be this far out in space on its own".

Nor was I bothered about the absurdity of the Millenium Falcon landing ON A STAR DESTROYER and somehow no sensor or anything picking it up.

Was anyone else bothered by how they never actually confirmed Luke & Leia were Anakin's children? They SAY he's their father, but we never actually see him ejaculate inside Natalie Portman followed by a shot of his sperm penetrating her egg. How do we know he's their actual father if we don't see their conception? We also don't see Luke and Leia pulled directly out of Natalie Portman's vagina, so how do we know they weren't just babies who happened to be born at the exact same time from some other lady in the same room?
Sure hope Disney addresses this in the films at some point.

>>218304769
No. The generation that grew up watching ESB wasn't abunch of weak ass faggots that needed their hands held. We didn't consider sitting through 15 minutes of footage to be "marathoning"

TL:DR if you're bothered, it's because you're a weak faggot. Simple as.

The point of stories is that things are explained as you watch/read/listen to them. If something is popular enough it gets more stories which means more things are explained. When things are sufficiently explained, the thing doesn't get more stories. It's really not that complicated.

I've been more concerned with the wild impracticallity of having giant robotic camels in the first place. Rule of cool, but definitely not practical in a war. One pot hole and you're down.

The worm ate other space creatures and occasionally spaceships. If you accept the worm could live in the vacuum of space, then logically there are other space creatures that create a food web in space.

That's not even the point, fatchild. There needed to be a battle, the giant things were on the ground tearing shit up. How they got there wasn't relevant to the plot.

>>218304818
Rogue Squadron just showed them dropped off by shuttles, so I always assumed it was that.

>>218304901
It was always established that TIE's were just short range carrier based fighters that were mass produced and easily replaced which fit the empire's military doctrine.
The rebellion was much smaller and needed to protect their assets in fighters that were more shielded and longer range.
I played a shitload of x wing and tie fighter though, which had way more depth than you'd expect.

I assumed they just flew to the planet and have rockets in their legs.

It would be difficult to see it there. Consider how far away each Star Destroyer bridge is from one another (they'd have to fly perpendicular to each other, on purpose, if you wanted to check something on the other one's back cause of it's large front section).

Before the video games made the two big domes 'shield generators' (always dumb but another discussion) those were meant to be the large dopplers/radars/sensors you see on navy ships. (pic related, they even look the same). The position of the ship, especially if they turned all their power off, would be in a blind spot, and another ship would have to again scan the back of a star destroyer for no reason to even notice it, assuming scanners picked it up as anything.

>>218304769
they've got massive spaceships, anon

>>218304769
can we finally admit these things looking fucking stupid?

>>218304769
I assumed they were dropped from orbit, for maximum terror as sonic booms bombarded the rebels as giant flaming meteors drop through the atmosphere only for walkers to unfold from the crater.

Was anyone else always bothered at how ESB never showed what the exact shade of grey used paint on the AT-ATs was and how it was manufactured?

>>218310922
Looking at everything else they have, I suspect that its one of those "any color you want as long as its imperial grey" kind of thing.
In the EU a pirate gets a hold of an old victory class star destroyer that he plans on turning into black market and casino ship. His thing was all his ships were red, but he was disappointed to find that the only color of paint produced in vast enough quantities to paint a star destroyer is grey, so he settles for some red pinstripes.

i figured they were dropped from space with their legs etc all folded up kinda like how the battle droids were stored and then once they hit the ground they unfolded their legs etc out of a crater and got to work. but i was aalso a little kid and didnt know or care about shit like re-entry temperatures or the shock of impact on the crew, but i still think my imagine way is better.

>>218311737
oh and i forgot to add, previously in the movie the probe droid literally hit the planet at full speed like a meteor and just floated out of its crater, so thats probably where some of that came from

Repulsorlift technology in the Star Wars universe is so cheep and ubiquitous and even a dirt poor moisture farming teenage hillbilly on Tatooine could afford to have a speeder. That being the case, there would literally be no vehicles with wheels, let alone something using awkward and inefficient legs. Everything would be a repulsorlift vehicle.

>>218315006
dont be a stupid nigger. repulsorlift tech was probably only relegated to small pieces of equipment the same way electric motors are still limited to cars/light trucks and scooters.

Probably wasn't worth the budget needed for a scene of them arriving.

>>218304818
I reckon OP makes more sense because it's probably way less work to load a new one, so they can have one shuttle assigned to multiple walkers and still get them down fairly quickly, just shove more STs into that thing instead

>Nor was I bothered about Luke's X-Wing having hyperspace capability when in ANH we were told that a Tie-Fighter (a comparable craft) "couldn't be this far out in space on its own".
Obi-Wan directly states that a TIE Fighter is a "short range fighter" and thus why they were surprised it was out there in the Alderaan debris field on it's own, when they didn't notice any usual Imperial capital ships.

Also Star Wars never really established X-Wings as being hyperspace capable, because the battle they were depicted in was in the Yavin system anyway so they didn't ever use it. Only in ESB when the rebels had to disperse and rendezvous were you informed X-Wings had hyperdrive too. Of course the games and other media made this known, as it was what allowed the Rebel Alliance it's guerilla raid strikes to occur.

>>218309756
>Before the video games made the two big domes 'shield generators' (always dumb but another discussion) those were meant to be the large dopplers/radars/sensors you see on navy ships.
Yeah I think that was a misconception from how the scene in Return of the Jedi played out at the battle of Endor, as after a rebel fighter group passed, they blasted the dome on the SSD and then that's when a crew officer determined their bridge deflector shields were down; if he was referring to the dome being destroyed was the generator, but it could've been the dome was a shielded (sensor?) component that just got destroyed, so for that to have been destroyed meant the said sheilds were down; but I think the former was assumed, going by what the games did.
