"Why Does The Death Star Have Such A Stupid Weakness Of An Exhaust Port?"
"Cooling things in space is difficult as heat needs somewhere to go. An exhaust vent is a perfectly reasonable thing to have station is the size of a small moon that's obviously going to generate a lot of heat and other such things that needs to be vented. The movie also outright tells us that this is not the only exhaust vent the station has. In the briefing scene it mentions there are multiple exhaust vents, it wasn't a single vent.
The Rebel pilot also complain about the 2m wide port being too small to hit. Their first torpedoes are unsuccessful even with the targetting computers, it's only Luke using the force to time when to fire that works, so it is not some huge glaring uneccesary weakness. It's an integral part of a giant space station that even skilled pilots with computer-targeting couldn't hit, it wasn't some significant weakness in the first place.
As part of that, there's the "Rogue One explains the weakness!" thing. No, it doesn't explain the exhaust port - the weakness added by Galen Erso is that the reactor when hit will cause a chain reaction. That specific exhaust port is just identified as the most appropriate one to use."
NASA uses that film for initial training of students/future astronauts and so far they have found some 167+ errors in the script.
Look at Russia the first time they wouldnt pay for auto docking at the space station and the pilots crashed into it. Didnt they train for that big time and yet still failed???
So an oilrigger with 14days of training would ace that?
"Armageddon" - yes, NASA/ESA/Russians call in mission specialists, but these are trained over months, not a few days...
It's a mistranslation from the original. It should have been a type of fur, not glass or gold.
Yes, front the French: "Pantoufle de vair", vair was a type of squirrel whose fur was rare and expensive. verre (glass) being an homonym, one can see why they got confused. Personally, I wouldn't want a breakable shoe that could cause a serious hemorrhage if it broke, but that just me.
Penny out here askin the real questions!
What normal person would think to do that in that moment, though?
It isn't just time elapsing. Many times, massive distances were traveled while something else was happening.
For example, how the hell did gendry go send a message to dany across the continent and have her show up in time to save the day in the middle of a battle?
I have no problem suspending my disbelief plenty, but that's just insulting to the viewer.
