Re: Stop with your logic | |

In Response To: Stop with your logic (Cody Miller) : A New Hope. The Death Star approaches Yavin, and begins orbiting the moon. : What follows is one of the best action sequences in film history. But that : makes no sense logically. Why did the rebels not lead the Death Star to a : remote system to mount their assault instead of to their actual base? They didn't have that option. Leia assumed that the Falcon was being tracked. How could she lead the DS to a remote location and arrange a rebel ambush? Where ever she went the DS was sure to follow. That makes it hard to have private chats and arrange traps. She gambled that the info would help find a weakness that the rebel ships could exploit. Luckily she was right. I agree that it could all have gone horribly wrong but at that late point in the film I wouldn't want an extra half hour of extra machinations to contrive a message to the rebels to prearrange a rendevous-trap. : Why
Maybe the gas giant was too big to blow up. Maybe they didn't know in advance which moon held the base and maybe they exited hyperspace in the same spot that the Falcon did. Maybe the ship tracking kit only gives you the location of the point of exiting hyperspace. If Leia surmised or knew this then she could have instructed Han to exit on the far side of the planet. Or maybe his exit location was pot luck but still put the DS in a bad position to hit the moon. : Why
Indeed. Lucas should have established that the trench was better sheltered with only a few danger spots. Maybe it was more sheltered than out in the open but Lucas would have had to have established that the area where the fighters entered the trench was significantly safer than near to the exhaust port. : None of that matters, because the sequence is so engaging. It's gripping
OK, I agree. I'm not in nit picking mode at that point. I'm in seventh heaven. I saw that film 11 times * when it first came out and always left the theater walking at a hundred miles an hour because I was so charged up. (* cost me a fortune but was well worth it)
