Turbo Laser to right of them,

TIE Fighters to left of them,

Stormtroopers in front of them

Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of hell

Rode the six hundred.

All those ships ?????

All those ships … flying within two centimeter of each other.

You’re in flockin SPACE.

Nearest ship should be kilometers away … not centimeters.

I wonder if this battle is based on an Xwing tournament finale.

Crew : How many ships do you want in this shot ?
Director : All of them.
Crew : But sir … there’s not enough screen space

Director : It’s IMAX only … and we can sell them glasses in the small theatres

@dawfydd

You’re right though, but even with that in mind there were far too many big ships practically next to each other.

(and please don’t remind me of that bomber scene from the previous movie … it’s as if they stopped giving a *beep*)

@a27cromwell there’s also a giant space ship floating in the sea … I think it’s best not to think about anything in this one, especially after the previous one.
It’s as if they are trying to make it even more ridiculous just because they can.

I also think that Darth Emo should have played the part of Anakin in the prequels. He is exactly the kind of obsessed teenage cry baby that I expect to switch to the dark side because of something stupid. I wonder if he’s going to switch to the good guys in this one. (am I weird for thinking that his story arc is more interesting than that of the wannabe jedi girl ?)
