[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7886137, member: 4937"] Let's not ignore just how undynamic the space battle leading up to that scene is. It's the first Star Wars space battle that occurs in 2D space and which doesn't really make use of the Z dimension in the choreography. And it's the first Star Wars space battle since the Falcon escaped from the Death Star and fought the Tie Fighter pickets that had a basically fixed camera angle, and that was only because of the limits of what they could do with the mattes back then. It's almost a case study in how not to make a space battle exciting. It's also another example of writer's and directors having studied Star Wars and what inspired it, and yet having no understanding of why it worked and are simply copy pasting. "Well, Lucas was inspired by WWII movie footage and that worked, so what if we did a space battle inspired by WWII high altitude bombing runs!" [I]beats head against wall[/I] "An office with no walls is dumb. But if Les has an office with no desk - now that's comedy." I rewatched Rogue One, and the film does have it's flaws, but it's got the best final act since Return of the Jedi and it's space battle is so dynamic and well constructed. Notice the bombing runs in the Y-Wings. Also, notice the Star Destroyer warping into the battle in the line of ships warping out and how it DOES NOT GET WARP SPEED RAMMED AND DESTROYED BUT RATHER SHIPS OBEY CANON BY DROPPING OUT OF HYPERDRIVE.
