The bitch moves so fast it creates a plasma shield around it from super heated air that radar cannot penetrate. I’m sure someone else can explain better but that’s kinda the gist.

The only scenario I’ve heard of warships being easy to take out is when hypersonic missiles are considered.

Expect to see Russia making greater gains at this point.

If they mean Ukraine has suffered 300,000 casualties then yeah, but it’s more like 4-500,000 now unfortunately so it’s more like 15x the casualties.

Yeah people need to remember these are movies for children and that hamfisted nature should be expected.

It really is amazing to see how much they really think the democrats are Stalin and they are the kids in red dawn.

I’ve read that one before, if I recall correctly the vet was a British commando.

Lucas said the stormtrooper helmets were based off the stalhelm.

Also even though the prequels are pretty much considered a mess, they do reveal something about Lucas. Because of the prequel movies we understand them to be the story of how the Republic turned away from democracy and became the fascist Empire, but really before the prequel movies came out the established lore of the clone wars was VERY vague and was pretty much just considered the “before times” and mythologized a lot for the sake of whatever book or comic or whatever was referencing at the time. This means that during the production of the prequels with the lack of solid lore about the clone wars, Lucas made the conscious effort to fill that hole and tell the story about how a liberal democracy can turn into a fascist regime it wasn’t like an accident or anything, dude is just political like that albeit those politics are made into movies for children.

But when the creator says the rebels are based off the Vietcong and when you combine that with the fact that he believed filmmakers in the USSR had generally more freedom to be creative compared to western filmmakers, it doesn’t seem so vague at that point.

I’ve never seen him mention the comparison is such a specific way. What makes you think that?
