*lets out a long, LONG breath.*

Alright, so with some considerations to the obvious (Crossbar guard on a lightsaber MADE of lightsabers, really? What crack riddled hallucination concocted THAT very obvious workplace accident? Also yes, so very, very pandery) I do find myself looking at some parts and feeling somewhat hopeful as to what they may mean. For example, the bits with the stormtroopers didn't actually make me at all think they were specifically evil, surprisingly enough. I kinda hope that whatever the case is, they get some better shrift, and some acknowledgement of the fact they were supposed to be elite as all fuck, instead of having a marksmanship academy named after them.

Secondly, while that was very, very, very, very similiar to the Falcon. . . I don't think it was. Too clean, I think, and the dish on top wasn't the same. So maybe something different, but yeah, agreed on how it was very much pander bait.



So, terrible sneak peek, to be sure, but still some hopeful bits in my opinion.

jwhouk:
It was pointed out in another online forum that the Falcon lost a dish during ROTJ.

I'm betting our protagonist in the stormtrooper getup is a descendant of Mace Windu.

RedWolf4:
True enough, but does Solo really strike you as the sort to not have his baby looking just as fine as she always did? Guy would probably agonize over buying new screws if they changed the look of his beloved ship. Still, good point.

J:
if han cared about what the falcon looked like, people wouldn't keep saying it looked like a piece of shit.

to me, it seems perfectly reasonable that he would make numerous modifications and upgrades over the course of 3 decades; trying to keep it running as it falls further & further into obsolescence.

one of those modifications may very well have been to install a new radar/deflector/whatever that didn't require an external antenna. which would make sense, as he was joining the rebellion & would be taking the ship into combat more often, rather than running away like he did as a smuggler.

RedWolf4:
It's not about the fact that it was a bucket of bolts, it was the fact that it was HIS bucket of bolts.

And as for what role you'd skew your mods to on it, you don't fix what ain't broken. The Rebellion was a guerrilla force outside of the very few times it stood for a pitched battle, so the Falcon as it was was a good fit. A smugglers ship, perfect for getting in and out as undetected as possible with whatever the cargo would have been, with shields and engine enough to survive and escape being caught in the act if it ever was.
