A Hologram would have been so much better! We've been shown maps being projected time and again, in all three trilogies, from multiple sources, and we even know that map screens can incorporate other info to show real-time images (of fighters moving, for example). Had Palpatine made a holo-projector that shows the current position of the Wayfinder by "pinging" it, especially through some Sith magic explanation so no-one without Sith knowledge can use it if you absolutely must have that plot point, he could've stored it deep within the outer shell of the Death Star, which solves about every single problem with its whereabouts and how to find it. Not to mention someone was literally stabbed with that knife. Had that person worn any armor, which is not unlikely in Star Wars, the knife could've been damaged, not to mention how contrived it was how it was found in the first place, just to not even provide any indication from where to approach the point of interest- which could've been an interesting delay even, but they just happen to immediately find it, which the holo projector would at least explain

Once you're approaching the Death Star how would you ever actually find where it was pointing. All it did was tell them which side of the Death Sat to start searching from.

Love that you're paying attention enough to catch this. I don't know the full story of the sublight "harmful emissions", so if anyone does then I'm all ears. It's not a story Wookieepedia would tell you. I don't know how old this lore is, all I'm certain of is that it's from before the dark times, before Disney. A pre-prequel Essential Guide from 1996 has no mention of sublight engines being prohibited anywhere. The only place I remember seeing the illegality was the cross-sections books, in the first pages of the OT book. But as I recall, that one was only printed in the prequel era, and I don't yet own a copy to check. You're right that "sublight drive" seems to be the more correct term. We hear the term "sublight engines" from Han's mouth, cut in when exiting hyperspace at Alderaan. I don't think Disney can lay any claim to the phrase. The distinction between "engine" and "drive" is subtle, so here's how I'd draw the line. A spaceship has three kinds of drive systems, one of which is the umbrella term "sublight drive". The drive system includes all the feedback and monitoring equipment, wiring, and cockpit controls involved with sublights. Then, the specific machinery with the ion thrusters, that'd be your "sublight engines". -DZ

Erosion makes the dagger nonsensical? How about it's existence at all? Did they hire a blade smith to come out to the wreck and make a knife that looks like it?

If the knife had a laser-outerface, like as if it lights up, and maybe over-charging it creates a hologram layer ontop of it and pulses extending outwards past the edges of the knife. It'd fulfill both functions of a map covering a large area that even if the Deathstar corroded, it would still make a lot of landmarks recognisable, as well as the pride of a Sith in using a weapon based on the throne room of Palpatine.

I personally like the hologram projector as the map because I enjoy the thought of the timeline where Finn kept and gutted it and made it his lightsaber once he started getting training as a Jedi, especially since it might actually have occurred to him to do so if he already thought he was Force Sensitive. I like the idea of him nicking some old Empire/First Order tech to make his lightsaber too, just because it seems right for his hilt to be at least somewhat of a memento of how far he's come as a person.

JJ ruins most anything he touched

Idea for the knife to work; what if it wasn't an intentional design? What if Rey just found a broken old knife, and the Force told her it was important - and then, when they stumble across the remains of the Deathstar (for unrelated reasons) she suddenly recognizes the outline of the wreck, pick up the dagger, and sure enough, COINCIDENCE, it matches the skyline and points them towards the vault.

Bathtub of Bionicle? Why are you trying to live my childhood fantasy??

Why didnt Palpatine just clone himself and send his clone to Endor because he foresaw his fate in Return of the Jedi? This would have been a very plausible way to bring him back - seeing that it was he that created all the clones in the first place - why not make a couple for himself - hell, Hitler used doubles in real life because people were trying to kill him - the technology was already there in the SW universe and they thought of ‘somehow’ he returned. No imagination from the writers - i mean it was a dumb idea to bring him back but at least this way it would have made sense.

That's something I'd never considered. Even if he can't trust his own clones not to betray him, there's nothing preventing cosmetic surgery. How hard is it to make a normal person look like the Emperor? Well, they did it with nothing but makeup and prosthetics in 1983, so it should be easy to make hundreds of decoys. -DZ

@@thebreadcircus I personally would have hated that, because it would retcon the end of Return of the Jedi and honestly would have made the sequel trilogy make no sense to ever have happened in the first place (Though perhaps that would have been a blessing..). If Palpatine didn't die, then he'd still hold the strings of the Empire and it wouldn't have fallen apart. Sure they'd have been a bit more hard pressed for losing ANOTHER Death Star, but it would have prevented the New Republic from forming. Among many other butterfly effects of such a change in the story.

A real spaceship would, I don't think we've ever seen indications that Star Wars ships have RCS.

I don't think saying "a moon in the Endor system" really solves anything. The Death Star 2 orbited the forest moon, not the planet, and therefore debris should have crash landed there and not on another of the 9 moons in that system, more than likely hundreds of thousands of kilometres away from one another's orbits.

I didn't even know it was supposed to be the Endor system on my first watch. I assumed the "delta three six transient" was all a string of nonsense, so I didn't notice they'd slipped Endor's name in until making this video. The establishing shot completely failed to establish the location. Putting it on another moon is still strange, but proves the issue was caught early enough for someone to add a line to explain it. That takes it out of the realm of absolutely, positively, definitely not possible. -DZ

The moon or whatever it is where the wreckage landed should have been completely obliterated. Extinction level event.

@nicholashodges201

Жыл бұрын

At most only half of the wreckage would've landed on the sanctuary moon. The side pointing away would've gone *that* way. It still would be an extinction level event. But the explosion was from the center of DS2 and radiated in all directions. The biggest issue though is that it's somewhat implied at the end of RotJ that either the debris wasn't in any big chunks, or they were blown away from the moon. If a piece the size of what we see in RoS were to hit Ewok's moon there wouldn't have been the feast in the end. They would all be to busy meeting their God for real and it would've happened in less than an hour. Since we see no large debris, I'm going to say the original intent would've been the near atomisation of DS2, much like the original.

I didn't know what this video really was about but it got me interested and well, as soon as I heard the homeworld music a strange nostalgia overcame me and kept me hooked. I got to know homeworld through the remastered.

The size of the windows gives a clear indication of the scale, and we even have people standing next to the windows. The only viable place for a room would've been one of the other three wings, the ones without Palpatine's throne. But that wouldn't be what the new movie intended. -DZ

Жыл бұрын

@The Bread Circus I get that....but the size of the room itself implies the area is much bigger, the central shaft that has the throne room is the same one that palpatine gets thrown down is very wide with walkways transversing it. I figured that each arm at the top was the length of the whole scene in return of the jedi, that there were 3 other identical arms with windows and a throne across from the lift shaft. One of these could have a side room.

The cylinder with no discernable function could give the heroes a useful puzzle to solve. Maybe the key to the map requires them to travel to multiple locations. It could also require the collection of data modules that are useless without the map cylinder.

I think the knife with the pointer would have worked if it was leading you to the Sith planet. Use it in conjunction with a star map to do the outline thing, and the pointer shows you where the system you need to go is.

Refreshingly insightful, which makes me feel even more sad about the whole 'last three'.

There's another aspect not really covered about the potential underwater scenes: _how would Rey know how to swim?_ Knowing what we do now, she'd just Mary Sue it. But still.

Driving engagement for a good video. Hope for the best. Thanks

Great vid. I can't wait for Part II: Locating the Vault

The trench run does not take place in the equatorial trench, but in a network of trenches around the pole of the death star, as you can see in the 3D animation of the plans during dodonna's briefing. These trenches likely have the same purpose as the vent, to vent excess reactor energy during the firing of the superlaser.

13:50 - Ahhh, the original Homeworld music. ❤️

The music from ME2 and Homeworld made me focus on instances within those games over listening to the vid.

Still waiting to hear what the bionicle bath was like...

The throne room has an establishing shot in return of the jedi, it is a spire. It is the same kind of design as McQuarrie's mooring towers. So we can say it is a converted mooring tower dressed up for the occasion. The pit is an air vent as you find many places in the death star, to allow people to breathe. It doesn't need special security since the shield isn't supposed to go down, though we still do see a TIE combat patrol fly by in the establishing shot.

the thing about the knife is that someone knew where to find the map to exegol, didn't retrieve it and instead took a picture from a hilltop so they could grind their ancient sith dagger into the shape of perishable wreckage at the machine shop, then flew halfway across the galaxy and dropped it in a snake hole?

They shown that you can go out on ships through shielding for star-wars. It's just like how the moon pools work and how they can have open hangerbay doors.

If the shape of the dagger is a map, then so will the shape of the stab-wounds it makes. Maybe not *perfectly* but weird shaped daggers make weird shaped stab wounds, and I’m sure there’s tech out there in this sci-fi setting that can reconstruct the dagger’s shape from a stab wound it makes.
