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.

Plasma containment fields keep the lightsaber blade at its assigned length.Β Β <___<;
Those are not turbines, nor do they actually look like turbines nor is there any indication of them being turbines in the actual design.

Well, Luke's first lightsaber looks like a Graflex Flash Handle. And yet, it's a lightsaber. The models always were put together from whatever they could find, I'm sure a naval cannon wouldn't work in space either, yet the early ships were full of those. This isn't a problem.

Then.. you're as big a fool as he is? ..
Those are not turbines, there is no indication of turbines in the design, not in any of the trailers, not in the teaser leaked shot of one.
it is two separate engines, That look like one when the wings close.Β Β He added the Turbines like an idiot just to bitch about a problem that does not exist.

wow, man, calm down. There is no need to call someone a fool. If these things aren't turbines: fine. But you can write this without calling people fools who don't know this.

Oh I'm sorry, did I offend you? I figured fool was one of the softer things I could of said, as both are subscribing to a foolish thing.
If the shoe fits.

ok wait a second, may be I just get this too personal (if I write this correctly) in that case it is ok. Anyway thanks for the information that these turbines not really ARE turbines, I didn't know that.

he added the turbines, There is no indication of turbines on the actual design.

Except its a SPACESHIP. Turbines don't work in the vacuum of space. Those can't be turbines.

I concede your point, it would be different if they were seperate turbines designed to fit together, but that is just a bad idea.
π: 0 β©: 1
There are no Turbines in the damn engines, there is no signification of turbines, no implying of turbines and no actual TURBINES!
Its 2 separate engines that look like one for Ascetics when the wings close, the engines do not split. NOR ARE THERE TURBINES!
π: 0 β©: 1
Firstly cool you're engines. I'm writing civilly here. Secondly I get the impression that they are turbines designed to get the ship up to enough speed to break through a planet's atmosphere, though I fail to see what purpose they serve splitting in two like that.
π: 0 β©: 1
There are no turbines in the engines. Go look at the actual designs in the teaser trailer and in the leaked photo.
media1.santabanta.com/full1/Ai⦠That is a turbine.
www.tubefilter.com/wp-content/β¦ There are no "turbine" objects in those engines.Β Β
i31.servimg.com/u/f31/17/81/25β¦ This is an Air Intake on an F-18Β Β Β
The fricken x wing has "air scoop" looking devices, that while stupid and pointless for space, Would not have a problem being two separate things for separate engines, that fit close together.
There are NO Turbines! ..in the X wing except for Jacko's quite shitily drawn version.
And no, the X-wing uses "repulse lift" to fly in the sky and get up to speed till the engines are warmed up for space flight.

Well in the PICTURE that JOLLY-JACK drew those are clearly meant to be turbines and I agreed with him that it was a stupid design in the PICTURE! Now I don't pretend to be any great Star Wars fan or expert (unlike someone I could name Mr. Silver) nor can I say for certain that I've watched the trailer in question. But regardless of that fact I share the OPINION that when you take something that is meant to be the main propulsion system of a vehicle and split it half without anything to support the separated halves then at the least the vehicle is going to have a rapid descent towards the ground that depending on pilot competency will at best horribly maim them in some manner.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
but the actual design DOES NOT DO THAT! Thus the joke is bitching about a design flaw that DOES NOT EXIST.
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow never realized that, also before you jump in on me Streaked-Silver know that most people wouldn't go looking on the wiki pages and as Jolly Jack says its a visual medium so if something looks like it is a turbine 9 times out of 10 people will think its a turbine.
π: 0 β©: 1
And yet, you still think he HAS a point for you to realize?
π: 0 β©: 0
haha the best part you even drew in the 4 engines exhaust to completely debunk you point. XD

Thank you! Β I tend to yell at the screen when I see things like this, and then I can't watch the movie the rest of the way through. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
There are no Turbines, there are never any indications of turbines in either trailers OR the leaked X wing pictures. It is two engines that look like one when the wings close. The openings are stylized "air intakes"
You SHOULD be yelling at Jacko for this because HE got it wrong!
he added in turbines in his drawing, it is not on the actual design.
π: 0 β©: 4
You know Jack, When you light people up for being wrong or totally missing the point, And then you are wrong or totally missing the point? Kinda is a bit funny.
Specially when people take your being wrong as Gospel truth about something.Β I'm noy saying you have the responsibility to check your facts like say.. Fox News does, but still.Β Β
And what, No cartoon? D=<Β Β Β I was expecting you to get all witty and snippy with a comic about some loser on the internet who corrected your misconceptions and everyone else who followed you.
J/K. Love yeah jack, I just hate misinformation or ignorance in general.

If they were 'one turbine,' like Phil depicts in the first panel, it STILL wouldn't work being split like that, and yet it's still flying. So... I would ASSUME he did it for the lulz, but uhhh... He can't very well preach about knowing how turbines work when he doesn't know how turbines work. XD
Regardless, it's a small 4-panel comic. Worth a chuckle. Comedy for the sake of comedy and all that. No need to get too riled up replying to everyone.

Only he seems to be taking it totally serious, spreading greatly false information from his own lack of research, and you have a bunch of tards believing him.

I know, but whatchya gonna do? X3 Those who don't think, follow.
It doesn't affect you at all if they think one way, regardless of whether its right or not. They don't want to do the fact-checking, that's on them.

Here here!
I completely agree
jollyjack You created your own design, the x-wing class has 4 individual wing mounted intakes, maybe if you did 2 mins of research you would have learnt that!
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm talking about Science fiction movies and television in general, not just the one series. Β But I always thought they were turbines. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope.
Trust me, things that make no sense drive me NUTS when it comes to fantasy, skimpy female armor is a big thing that gets on my nerves. But the previous and new X wing Designs make sense Jacko here just is making crap up about stuff that doesn't exist as a problem.
π: 0 β©: 0
... my god. Β I never realized!
π: 0 β©: 1
He's wrong, depicting it wrong, and you all are not doing 5 minutes of research.
There ARE no turbines on the engines, it is two separate engines that look like one when the wings close, there are NO indications of fucking turbines in the Trailers or the leaked picture.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess that turbines in space make even less sense

So you're saying you are not a, ahhh, 'fan'...........................

As someone who doesn't really care about Star Wars all that much (I really liked the game Republic Commando though), why do Star Wars fans keep flipping out over every tiny change? I remember in the original films when Jabba changed from a man in a coat to a slug monster. What is that ok, but stuff like the millennium falcon having a satellite dish on the wrong side means that it's ruined forever?
π: 0 β©: 1
I thinknit was because the amn in the coat never made it to the theatrical release and was only introduced in episode 6 as the giant slug. However the fanboys then get upset when a cgi Jabba is inserted in the original scene where the man in the furcoat used to be.
As for these X-wings, and the deviation, it's an attempt at being funny. (though I have to admit that I chuckled at JJ's shirt

I had an X wing toy from the first films era... That same design was used back then, its stupid, but its not *his* stupid.

well you can yell all the fuck you like but hey its a movie, fuck logics...

He's also wrong.. There are no turbines in the engines, they are two separate engines that look like one when the wings close.

like a tube (cube?) propeller?
