        1. it’s good you påinted the ‘at’ out to us nonnative readers of Engrish.

  2. Anyone making a science fiction flick should consider having a scientist on staff to check the physics, just so inept nonsense like this doesn’t make it into the final cut.

    Although when the scientist says “you don’t jam radar with actual raspberry jam”, you should probably jettison them into deep space.

    1. Well, I’m not sure they have any deep space in Star Wars, it all looks like banal space to me. Anyway, if your spaceship makes whooshing noises as it flies through interstellar space, then you might as well barbecue.

      1. The noise in space thing always bugged me. But the big one was the blinking yellow light on the Enterprise NCC-1701 when Captain Pike was at the helm for the pilot series.

        1. Captain Pike went 200 parsecs with the left turn signal on.

          Which is why he ended up as a vegetable in a box.

          1. That’s what he gets for eating so many vegetables. Oh, wait, sorry, I thought you said “200 parsnips”.

  4. Harvey Weinstein’s personal assistant is the showrunner in the gayest star wars ever. (Their words). That lovely diverse female character is one of two twins. She has 2 mothers. The exact mechanics of reproduction is not explained in detail.

  5. Sadly analogous to modern “explanations” of climate change. Now that right there, that’s global boiling.

  6. Not even the worst example of unscientific nonsense out of Star Wars, which was never remotely hard sci-fi. A fire could happen if a lot of oxygen is being vented but it wouldn’t…look like that.

  7. I was even more distracted by the edgy hairdo she’s sporting in her space helmet …

      1. That is so bad, it’s epic. Whatever happened to blood boiling and your eye popping out, etc?

        2. What happened is that was total nonsense. That Expanse clip aside, the only movie to get this right that I know of is, I kid you not, Titan A.E. One of the most underrated animated movies of years past.

      2. “The Expanse” looks compelling … I’ve never heard of it. But does it have a HOT shower scene with a young hottie like Sigorney Weaver in her undies ? Now THAT is how I want to see my womyn in space … tough enough to kill the Alien and all her babies … but soft enough to get a rise out of me … ohhhhhhhhhh baayyybieeeeeeee

        1. Can’t get past the google censorship of YT for nudie sci-fi shower scenes that I enjoyed in the theatre, but here’s a little skin from an actress on the Expanse whose talent is obvious without her resorting to a reliance on DEI qualifications…

        2. ““The Expanse” looks compelling … I’ve never heard of it.”

          It was one of the most realistic space-based shows ever, as far as the mechanics and science depictions go.

      1. Hahahaa ha ha ha …

        And what young people can actually afford a home that isn’t a bombed out shell of a wreck?

        1. Yes, house hunter show “clients”:

          “I’m a stay at home mom and my husband hangs egg cartons in garages for soundproofing. Our budget is $1.8 MM”.

    2. I used to like This Old House. Way back.

      Now everything they build gets a half million dollars worth of heat pumps and “green’ technology.

  11. Ha ha ha, good God it too a couple of minutes for the censorship program to dump my comments back to Kate. What a bizarre circumstance. Kate for God’s sake don’t be afraid of language.

    2. ‘language’ like

        Any word that contains the letters O, R and C in sequence will be rejected, yes.

        Thank Colon for that.

  12. I think The Muppets, Pigs in Space gag was just about as sciency.
    (Actually, the Muppets overall were probably more realistic.)
    The number of A-holes who think there IS noise in space is problematic.

  13. Pew pew pew.. Don’t be polluting my BS with un-immersive things.. Or is it special space plasma fire, burning in another dimension?.. Could be..

    Breaking stereotypes creates more WTF questions than answers.. This breaks the popcorn momentum of the story.. A fast, clean concise ride.. Packed full of stereotypes that are understood in a split second.. A rich tapestry..

    They don’t do that anymore :).. That’s why most productions suck..

  14. yep.
    vids of a moon lander taking off, the blast of debris and the rapid acceleration.
    no sign of a yellow or white or blue flame when the exhaust gases having done their job, race out into the vacuum lm guessing possibly maybe 5 times speed of sound at least initially.

  15. X-Wing fighters that move and maneuver like Spitfires. In space, where there is no air. I know why they did it that way, but it is still stupid. Babylon 5 did it right.

    I though Disney had reached Peak Stupid with -ballistic- arcs on space weapons firing from ship to ship, which was even more stupid than a space ship dropping bombs on another space ship, and in the same movie. The Last Jedi. It sucked on many, many levels.

    But now they have topped the stupidest thing ever seen in a Star Wars movie, which given the above is really saying something. A CGI of plain-vanilla combustion in space. They -could- have CGI’d a plasma fire, or some radioactive leak, or God forbid made up something cool. Nope.

    So goes the gayest StarWars evar. Disney + will bring down the company.

    There is -one- thing on Disney+ worth watching, apart from the old Star Wars and Marvel movies. Bleach. It’s excellent. Watch the 26 episodes of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War and the 366 episodes of the original Bleach. Then cancel the service, because you’ve seen everything good on it.

    1. Not true! Andor is excellent and Rogue One is the best movie in the SW franchise.

  16. Having studied a good deal of history, I like Andor because the back story intrigue is pretty realistic in terms of how the many layers of a rebellion move very slowly and sometimes take five steps backwards before taking one forward.
