Darth Krawlie Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 1. What exactly kills Porkins? He didn't get hit, at least not that was shown. He just "has a problem here" and Biggs inexplicably tells him to eject onto the surface of the fucking Death Star, but his fat ass blows up. What happened? 2. Vader targets Luke. I have you now, he says. He fires. Then Han shows up and blows up his wingman. This is all before the second wingman has an aneurism and crashes into Vader. But Vader still shot. His lasers still should have hit Luke. Why didn't they? 3. Obi-Wan has a really hard time getting out of Han's smuggling compartments. You see him try to list himself out twice and fails. This isn't a question just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalcedony Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 1. Maybe Porkins' ship ran on Windows? I dunno. 2. Um ...it was the will of the Force? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 3. He was old as fuck, man. Probably needed a stage hand to help him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedigoat Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 1. Weight restrictions 2. This has always bugged me as well. And the second wingman crashed into Vader? I never noticed that. I just thought Han shot all three ships. 3. I've never noticed this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Based on memory, watching it to check would be cheating... 1. Porkins was shot down by ground fire, flew too low or in to a concentration of turbolasers and thought he could fly out of trouble 2. I don't know why Vader missed either, but I've let it go 3. Didn't notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Jawa Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 1. These guys were all flying outdated, refurbed X-Wings. Porkins drew last for astromechs and his ship exploded. 2. Han shoots the first TIE (Vader's right) and blows him up. Vader and the other pilot look up to see wtf is going on and the left pilot bounces off the sidewall and into Vader ricocheting him out into space (and saving his life). But yeah, just before that Vader lets off a bunch of blasts and misses I guess. He also misses Luke a moment before, low first and then blows R2's head off, but I guess ol' blue fixed himself pretty quick. I always chalked it up to "more powerful than you can possibly imagine" 3. He did tell Luke he was getting too old for this sh**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 1. From Wookieepedia:"Though his X-wing fighter was generally maneuverable enough to avoid the Death Star's sluggish turbolasers, incorrect readings from his instrumentation left him unable to judge his altitude and he found himself too low and an easy target for enemy fire.[16] Darklighter attempted to warn his friend that he was too low and advised him to eject, but Porkins felt that he could control the problem. Before he was able to regain control, however, he was hit by enemy turbolaser fire and was killed as his X-wing exploded around him.[4]" 2. I can't find anything to explain where the shot went. To be honest, I wouldn't mind a future edition editing that out. It would make more sense. 3. Yeah, don't really think I'll be able to find an answer to that one. On top of that, why are Han, Luke, and Chewie crammed into one compartment and Obi-Wan in another by himself. Wouldn't two and two make for a better fit, especially given how big Chewie is? I guess what probably happened was, they hurriedly tried to cram all four people into one, then at the last minute Han went, "This one's packed! There's another one over there." Something like that.

Darth Krawlie Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 I accept Seth’s answer as canon. As for why Obi-Wan was alone, I just assumed the droids were in there with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 I'm just imagining R2 plunking down head first into this gaping hole. I reject the prequel rocket booster retcon.

Guest Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Threepio was also probably grabbing at Obi-Wan in fear which makes it hard to climb out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, correction, he was doing it in fear and an attempt to touch Obi-Wan's "lightsaber." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Why do I remember the Kenner action figure being titled Obi-Wan (OB-1) Kenobi? This messed with my mind and I thought I heard that Ob1 was supposed to be the clone of Obi Wan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I've never seen any sign of the figure being titled OB-1. From what I've seen it was Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 So these questions came up because I forced my kids to watch ANH. I don't know if I'll be able to get them to sit through anymore but I might just watch ESB and ROTJ the next few days regardless. Anyway post more dumb questions.
