    Well, that would be a god-level acoustic set.

    There was a fan explanation (which I maybe saw somewhere in novels), that they sort of listen to some band in the clear like analog radio (in situations where binary-encoded communication is not available), and that working engines and shooting blasters make lots of interference there. Filtered enough to save the pilot’s hearing and sanity.

    I mean, that’s similar to what you said, just better IMHO, cause sounds are not “generated”, but derived from signals around.

        In the EU that’s a few days or weeks. As if in the movies that time were just skipped.

        And doesn’t contradict too much how it’s shown in the movies, if it seems like more than an hour or two before they jump to hyperspace, and in hyperspace there’s enough time for lightsaber training, then maybe it’s a few days.

            Disney made a point of building an original Star Wars plagiarism based on the majority stereotypes, as opposed to fan stereotypes. So where the common stereotype and the fan stereotype would diverge, they deliberately chose the common one. Like the whole thing being about space wizards and pew-pew.

            I think sometimes that maybe the “second generation”, after the original creators get old or full of fans’ shit, is usually not very talented, so all it does is grab money and take revenge.

            I wonder sometimes if in the framework of that logic all KK was doing was taking revenge on Star Wars fans for upsetting George, and similarly all Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and such were doing was collect power based on what Sun Microsystems mastodons and Unix fathers and such have done, and take revenge on the wide populace which didn’t value it all.

            As in - your typical fan of it all blames MS, Google and such for the way tech became shitty, while the tech bosses blame the populace for choosing shitty and making the good companies bankrupt, and think they are humiliating that populace deservedly. Similar with Disney Star Wars.
