No one wants to stop others from enjoying Star Wars more than FTS.

Even if it's resorting to the most petty, bottom of the barrel, and ridiculous "criticisms" he can find.

It's pretty bad.

I'm assuming they're supposed to be special forces versions, which are hyperspace capable. I don't recall any shot giving a good enough angle to tell for sure.

Resistance confirmed that TIE/FOs do indeed have hyperdrives.

Yeah, I know.

When? I must have missed that. I know the TIE/ba does, but when do we see a basic foo fighter jump?

The episode where Kaz infiltrates a First Order station that's to be terminated. The escorts to the Upsilon and TIE/ba are TIE/FOs.

I could distinctly see the antennas in a couple shots.

/fo have antennae as well, though. The differences are the battery pack 'cogwheels' and the underslung heavy weapons pod.

Theta Black?

They are, but I don't recall actually seeing them arrive or leave the system, and since they're planning on demolishing the place with some pretty serious ordnance if they did arrive via carrier it's going to standing way the heck off. I'd hesitate to call it confirmation.

The same argument could be applied to Kylo's (second) arrival on exegal in what appears to be an old TIE/In presumably found on endor.

I get that the movies and stories say something is hard and then minutes later show that the heroes do it with easy, but that is narrative story telling. We are told Plotting hyperspace is difficult, so of course the heroes do the impossible/improbable. We are told navigating the asteroid field is ridiculously hard, so of course the heroes do it. We are shown that the shot to blow up the death star is nigh impossible so of course the MAIN CHARACTER makes the shot.


So to sum up, due to time constraints and drama you will have something explained that is difficult/impossible only so the hero can overcome it. Heroes do the impossible, or heroic deeds, while everyone else is there to be average compared.

Though that's correct, plot armor is the "why they continuall do the impossible, making it look so easy". To me if they ARE consistently doing the impossible,, then to ME it shouldn't be seen as impossible..

I liken it to a phrase from the Incredibles film.

If everyone's special, NO ONE is special..

If 'the impossible' is being done all the time.. THEN WHAT The **** makes it impossible?

TIE/fo Hyperdrives go in the same bucket as the T-70 crew slot. "Uhhhh crap we don't have a new ship but need something to happen."

Man, they literally hyperspace in!

"Oh, Senator Palpatine, I've always wanted to make love to a prune" said no upper class woman ever.

Ysanne Isard in the Legends X-wing novels did just that. It was one of the things she'd flaunt at others to give the impression she had more power than she actually did. Or maybe she did have a fling or two with Palpatine - nobody was every able to confirm or deny.

Of course, if she got pregnant and had a child it would be easier to verify. Still not impossible to hide it (see Padmé).

Roganda immarsen also was his concubine.

Fair enough. I said didn't remember. I forgot we saw them before they arrive at the bay.

Shower thoughts:

Finn has remarkably good aim. He was destined to Rebel.

Hux saved the Resistance.

Rey's lightsaber flashes a green and blue light before igniting yellow.

Called it.
