Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.

This one doesn’t apply in Star Wars because nobody orbits anything in Star Wars. Antigravity is cheaper than accelerating into an orbital vector.

There are lot of films where this doesn’t happen for sure 😃

Don’t forget the universally established upward direction so all ships are magically oriented exactly the same when they meet

Then why don’t the continents ever turn out from under them?

Dragon Rider (drag) · 2 months ago

Because the movie is only 2 hours long and it takes several hours for that to happen.

Jojo, Lady of the West · 2 months ago

The movie is 2 hours, but sometimes the events are much longer.

Dragon Rider (drag) · 2 months ago

Yes, but during the parts of those events when we weren’t looking, they moved the ships over so they’d be in the same place relative to the ground.

Thanks for the insight, dragonfucker

Isn’t the death star in orbit at one point?

@LovableSidekick · edit-2 2 months ago

Yes the second Death Star is in orbit around Endor.
