Description
I generally don't mind redesigns when there is a clear reason for it (example: ED209 in the new Robocop was developed as a military machine, rather than for domestic policing, so it was made to look more like a tank) but when stuff is overhauled just for the sake of it, throwing logic out the window along the way, it becomes irritating. Like when something that is clearly meant to be a turbine splits down the middle.I'm going to reinforce that last bit for people leaping to the design's defence: film is a VISUAL MEDIUM. If something LOOKS like a turbine, IT'S A F**KING TURBINE.

You know, I hate to burst your bubble. but that is the actual variant of the X wing. The XJ5 X Wing look it up, it was used after the civil war was done.
It is part of the old lore, It's not a turbine, it's a sleeker engine cowling to signify an upgrade to the venerable StarFighter.
There ARE no turbines in that design, Jacko Added them in the picture just to bitch about it, Go look at the trailers and the leaked photo.

Too bad I wasn't talking at all about the turbine.
I don't care much about SW, but I do care to bitch on weird people who think everything fictional has to be some fluffy fantasy, this picture was as good place to do it as any other, regardless of its accuracy.

I'm a person who needs realism in their fantasy as well. I can write sonatas about how much skimpy armor, overly large swords and other things like that bug me.
That being said, the X wings design is sound if you look at the tech.
People didn't think the F 14 would work either, but it did.

you are seriously creepy obsessed. youve gone through everyones posts who agree the design is dumb and copy pasta the same thing. it was a joke. something funny because the design looks dumb. 98% of us (including you) arent engineers, or engineers from a long time ago and a galaxy far away. to the majority of us, the design looks dumb because circles are how things go zoom.
calm down and stop spamming peoples inboxes with fun-sucking, humor-hating copy pasta. jeepers.

And you are seriously stupid if you think that.
NO, JJ made up a reason to bitch, and I hate ignorance, that is all. Don't talk to people who you think are "creepy obsessed" any how. That's a very dumb thing to do.

ouch, my feelings, a stranger called me a name. man, you are very sore when people point out dumb things. if youd like to continue calling me names, i invite you to do so to my inbox, rather than on this deviations comments.

So am i the only one who thinks there are two different X-Wings....? look at the turbine in the latest trailer and the trailer of:
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Official Trailer #1 (HD) (2015)
at 1.21min
weird

there are no Turbines,
the old crashed one is an old one, the new ones are a cannon new design.

Ralph McQuarrie's designs for the X-Wings had a split design, if I'm remembering correctly. I don't disagree in the least that it's silly if we accept it's a turbine, but in this at least, Abrams is just following what's gone before.

Only.. there is no Turbine. Jacko made that up, there is no indication of a turbine in any of the new xwings

They have literal flying cars in the Star Wars universe that appear to operate on magic alone, and this is the detail you take issue with?

it's a SPACE turbine. they do the atmospheric flight by propeller.

Re post all you want white knight. I was not doubting any such new or extended fanon desgine or not I was simply pointing out that his link was to the original x-wing design that had 4 engine nacelle.
You are too busy championing a pointless cause to get a chuckle out of something silly.
But to point out more stupidity for you to rage over. Why hae any thing that resembles an air intake in the first place for such a "space craft" in the first place?

"The only time that it is acceptable to throw logic out of the window, for any reason whatsoever, is in anime. Don't believe me, watch a fucking awesome series like No Game No Life or Gurren Lagann, then tell me that logic is necessary." - My best friend's answer when I asked him his opinion of the new designs in Star Wars VII.

No Turbines in those engines. Look at the trailers closely and the leaked photo of the xwing, The two engines are sleeker and smaller and fit together to seem like one, its totally fine in logic.

No, no. I'm in agreement with you. I've read most of the Star Wars lore. What I posted was my buddy's response. He's.... not really a Star Wars guy.

what movie is this and are you talking about how instead of having 1 wing on each side and a turbine on them, it has 2 wings on each side and 2 half-turbines on each side?

'I understand people can be nitpicky, but I've never even made the correlation between the X-Wing's engines and a turbine engine (only now do I note similarities), because if it was a turbine engine, it would require air to fly thus preventing space flight. I always believed they were vents for dispersing engine heat, as that makes much more sense. On that theory, and that it's been several years since Episode 6, when it came time to upgrade the X-Wing, part of said upgrade was overhauled engines for enhanced speed and maneuverability, which also led to new cooling vents (NOT turbines).

There are no Turbines in those engines, I've looked at the leaked photo of it X wing, and the two trailers.

well this is embarrassing uk.ign.com/wikis/star-wars/Fil…
dont think its a turbine XD... also why would they need a turbine the motion from the turbine would be useless in space XD... most star wars starships run on magic anyways

This post and the accompanying comments have raised a number of interesting and contradictory tropes that occur in both fiction and Internet discussions:
Reality is Unrealistic -- "When exposed to an exaggeration or fabrication about certain real-life occurrences or facts, some people will perceive the fictional account as being more true than any factual account."
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…
Artistic License -- "Creators are allowed to be inaccurate if the inaccuracy serves the story better than accuracy would." JollyJack uses this one himself.
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…
Aluminum Christmas Trees -- "An element that exists or has existed in Real Life, but is assumed to be fictional by audiences, often because it seems too unlikely, bizarre, or kitschy to be real."
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…
Bellisario's Maxim -- "Don't examine things too closely."
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…
MST3K Mantra -- "It's just a show; you should really just relax." JollyJack has used this one, too.
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…
Moff’s Law -- "At some point during a discussion on a work in pop culture, the probability of someone stating a variation of 'Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is?' in order to dismiss critical analysis is high." In other words, it's not over-analysis when every stray thought about the film has to be quashed lest you realize how stupid the movie is.

Looks can be deceiving. I don't think even old EU data stated that the X-Wing had turbines... More than likely the thinking is that since the X-Wing was originally designed to look like a futuristic Earth aircraft, they've added more elements to reinforce that theme. So, while it looks like a turbine... it won't be a turbine. That's how Sci-Fi works...
It's similar to how physics has looked at the Warp Drive in Star Trek. While it might be possible to accelerate a particle faster than light, doing so would make that particle light itself and thus all control would be lost... at least based on our present understanding of physics. Star Trek invented a sort of device that protects their starships against that occurrence. At one point, one of the Star Trek creators/writers was asked how the device worked. The answer was: "Quite well."

Jolly, I love you and your hamster, but the X-Wing has four "turbines," not two. One on each side of each wing/s-foil pair.
That being said, turbines. What are they going to suck in outside of an atmosphere? ...space air?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dust, rocks, bits or space stuff, there's a huge water reservoir many times the size and water volume of earth in the middle of nowhere out in space y'know, who knows what might get sucked up out there?

What the serious fuck? Did you go through ALL the comments and post this shit? You must suffer from some series OCD. What is wrong with posting just ONE comment? Are you afraid no one will read it? Good lord man, go outside and get some sunlight.

Apparently no one DOES read the comment because everyone is still posting about a problem that does not exist.
Go screw yourself. I ran my 5 K today, and I can take a break from cleaning my apartment to paste a comment in 5 seconds when needed. Because like I said, no one actually reads before posting.

First off, it is just an opinion. So that doesn't mean it is RIGHT. Secondly, no one is going to remember this comic by the time the movie comes out so your attempt at being an internet white knight is pretty much mute. Thirdly, regardless if he is correct or not, it is a funny comic. So I suggest you take the stick out of your ass that must have gotten lodged up there during your 5K run and let it go and have a laugh at it.
