@Cratesbane @Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 As much as I like some of the things TLJ did, I can't avoid my disappointment over the slow speed chase in space framing the central tension of the story. Casino planet was interesting on its own but not in relation to that. 'Tied on a string' should have been a spy.

@Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 I can believe that, as otherwise ground assaults would be resolved with asteroid bombardment. I can workshop a number of reasons why the Holdo cannon couldn't work if it was worth my time to do so. It's all fiction anyway, and I still don't need one to enjoy the scene as is.

@Cratesbane @Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 I can believe the first order was haughty enough to have any gravwells on the supremacy turned off during the chase. By the time the Raddus turned around it was too late for them to be energized to work.

@Ganglosaxonnne @Nyquist860 Is this part of the EU that was ejected when Disney decided to do a fresh start? I mean, anything can be written to make this work both ways. It's fiction. Holdo wouldn't have attempted the maneuver if there was no chance for success. So there must be one.

@Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 It's more economical to use conventional weaponry against ships instead of expensive hyperspace missiles. I mean, for all we know such weapons are actually banned by treaty for how devastating they are on civilized planets, but it's never spoken about. Holdo was that desperate.

@Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 I don't understand what you are saying with these images The biggest MC cruiser onscreen vs the largest (unique) spacecraft short of the death star. Works only here. Wasteful in any other combination.

@Ganglosaxonnne @lucendacier @PwnerLukeR18 You could make hyperspace missiles, but they'd be useless against nimble targets. A Holdo "gun" would need cruiser-massed projectiles to shoot at planets, or Starfighter sized projectiles against cruisers. That means you're expending an expensive hyperdrive vs cheap missils
