Whats the fucking point of this formation? why would you align them horizontally instead of vertically...

It sort of looks like they just copy/pasted after the first two rows

Why does that look so artificial?

There is no horizontal or vertical in space retard

I actually have a question about this. We have the asteroid belt, and people say it's really useful because it breaks up meteors and shit. So, we're safer. But what if a meteor comes from above?

the spaceships behind the first row can't fire without shooting at their own army. obviously there isn't a technical horizontal/vertical axis in space but you know what I mean asshole

Then we're fucked, because very few telescopes are looking in that direction
Or from below
Or out from behind the sun

Just fire in an arc like with bows and arrows, you dummy

Why aren't we looking in other directions? Who knows what we're missing.

It's clearly going to be a shipyard filled with the hidden empire fleet, except no one but sheev knew how to find the device that allows access to said shipyard.

>But what if a meteor comes from above?
asking the big questions

are they going to mount trebuchets on the roof to eh spaceships

*of the

resolution isn't great but I agree it looks like rubber and that lightning strike is so cheap

For complicated reasons:
Hard to look at the space on the other side of the sun because the sun is in the way, also it's really bright in that direction so it's harder to image
Not many telescopes looking at above or below the ecliptic plane because there are much fewer space rocks in those directions, better to concentrate the limited resource of Spaceguard (that's literately the best name ever, it's one of the very few times scientists picked a catchy name) in the most fruitful direction.

This would have provided much better coverage for Earth, but no money to fund it.

It's extremely rare. Due to the sun's gravity, almost everything in our solar system has a fairly flat/level orbit around the sun. You only get weird orbits that aren't on the same plane when you get further out and the sun's gravitational forces are weaker, allowing for a more sporadic orbit. You also need to consider the fact that most of space is made up of just emptiness, so the chances of earth being hit from above/below from an object outside of our solar system is extremely fucking slim to the point where you're more likely to win the lottery jackpot 10 times in a row using the exact same winning numbers each time than you are to have earth be struck from a non native object.

That's why most shit that is a threat to earth is broken up by the asteroid belt before it even gets to us, and why those things that orbit through it aren't a threat. Comes in on a level angle due to the sun's gravity, gets cucked by the belt, and is either so small it breaks up in the atmosphere, deflects away from earth due to our own gravitational pull, or just misses us because, you know, we're orbiting the sun and move the fuck outta the way.

>Because Star Wars has been rule of cool since it's inception.
Shame it looks uncool.

Very informative. Thanks a bunch. I got something good out of a star wars thread.

Kill yourself shill

Because it's meant of a parading display or power you retard. Combative effectiveness is not coming into play here. At least that's my assumption because WE LACK A SCENE WITH CONTEXT!!

God there's a ton to say is stupid in the new movies but this is hardly one of them.

What does it matter, the movie will be shit and the D&D trilogy will be even worse.

>But what if a meteor comes from above?
the sun will eat it up. get your mind off of that static model, pic related is more realistic

It looks copy pasted, the opposite of cool.

This makes me uncomfortable

Here comes the hyperspace ram...

YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL, THIS IS QUITE LITERALLY THE 7th ACTUAL TIME I'VE SEEN THIS THREAD IN THE LAST 8 FUCKING HOURS

I watched the trailer lat night (Western European time zone), took a screenshot and posted a thread this morning, haven't seen a single thread on Yea Forums discussing this shot

Burger education

It's the same thing, just with a different reference frame. Most Trans-Neptunian objects coming from above or below the sun from the reference frame of the ecliptic plane have a periapsis that's beyond the orbits of the 8 planets.

It makes you realize the chaos of space. The strength of the sun's gravity. The wonder of how our planet has been stable for millions of years so life could evolve, and humans could go on to destroy everything for nothing.

There's the "asteroid belt" which is what you're showing in that pic, that's NOT what people are talking about, when they talk about whatever shit you're babbling about they're talking about the OORT CLOUD, not the asteroid belt or the Kuiper belt

WAAAH WAAA HHBOO HGOO EVIL HOOMINS I LOVE RICK AND MORTY BUUURP

shut up faggot and go kill yourself if humans are such a fucking burden, do us all a favour so we don't have to hear your bullshit crying pissing and shitting when the sun explodes

so the rebels can hyper kamikaze the rows with a handful of ships duh

its a mothballed fleet, not active.
think of ships kept side by side in a harbour for refit and resupply.

You forgot to call me a nigger, it's ok do your best. I hope you get over whatever it is that you're dealing with.

> evolve
oof

Think about killing yourself shill

IKR, imagine not believing in magical jews, like WTF. the biggest of BIG OOFs and DOUBLE YIKES

Who was maintaining the fleet?

that would make sense but Id bet whatever the currency in Star Wars is that, judging by how the lightning strike places the fleet in a dramatic tone, this is just before a huge showdown between the empire and rebels. Also, if they fleet were inactive wouldn't it be on some space station or planet?

>Hurrr its literally Hitler

Are the Kikes ever going to realise that shit like this just looks cool and not ominous.
