Star Wars universe does have lasers of all scales and power levels.
Yet literally no one uses them well on a personal scale.
The Jedi (and Sith for that matter) imbue it with a power of magical stone, and then…use it as a saber.
To balance this stupidity, stormtroopers, clones and droids all use slow, non-continuous energy blasters. With actual lasers, they could insta-kill any Jedi, but they cannot, because otherwise the movie wouldn’t exist.
I remember seeing this shit in theaters and losing my mind over how stupid it was. It’s in the middle of an incredibly bad movie anyway which doesn’t help, but I just can’t imagine how many people had to be involved with this creative choice and how ar least some of them must have brought up how stupid dropping bombs like that is in a space fight and yet they still went with it. Dumbest shit ever.
Didn’t TIE bombers bomb asteroids in TESB when Solo and crew were hiding in a giant worm? Sure looked similar, IIRC.
That’s like a land mass at least. In this scene they were doing this in straight up open space against another ship
but there’s gravity in space. surely that means there’s dropping stuff in space too!
Im honestly more concerned on how those bombs make it through the atmosphere and how much time it takes them to reach their destination.
