You don’t have to say “Gary Stu.” “Mary Sue” is a unisex term.

It’s a lazy way to explain someone’s skill in a ship and it basically says that the best way for people to join the Rebellion is to be a part of the Empire to see how bad it is and then decide they should fight it.

But if she knocked a fourth time, she’d have killed The Doctor.

Or maybe it was Jupiter Going Upwards.

Point of order: there’s no screen evidence that the Y-wings are slower.

Wait--Marcie’s not Asian?

Have we seen them in the same room together?

The costs don’t work out, because the big carrier benefits from scale. A ship carrying half the aircraft, for example, costs way more than half as much to construct and (especially) operate. Even with UAV proliferation underway, the sizes of combat airframes are not going down any time soon, and the hangar and deck…

The medium carrier was a bad idea in the Seventies, when it first emerged as the “CVV,” and it’s still a bad idea now.

What if it doesn’t ruin the story, but deprives you of the pleasure of having the surprise?

If it’s a “thermal exhaust port,” one might assume it’s vented coolant.

What this tells me is that not enough people owned copies of the Star Wars Sketchbook, which talked all about polar and equatorial trenches.

Agreed. Trying to put the blame on Nemesis amounts to acquitting Insurrection of celluloid war crimes.

FOUR-DOT ELLIPSIS

They could still change it, a la Revenge of the Jedi...

I could use some more pulpy corn feeling, sure. But we’d complain about that, too.

I was 15 at the time. I don’t remember that happening.

Also, I don’t believe that one word of any of these responses is genuine.
