@@Phoenix-zu6on In Rouge One, both times when the Death Star laser was fired, it wasn't a full capacity,but just enough to wipe out a singular target on the surface.

If Trakin had ordered to wipe out Scarif as a whole. however, and not just the base, I think that would've looked much more like the Death Star destroying Alderaan. Though, with better effects.
ik this sorta describes rogue one, but I would really love an oppenheimer style movie about the death star told only from the empire's perspective as if they were the good guys, that would be so interesting tbh
The reason why it's so crazy in Rogue One is because Gareth Edwards (the director) is an absolute visionary when it comes to communicating scale, like you feel viscerally the magnitude of huge things in his shots due to how he frames them. Yeah you're seeing BASICALLY the same thing, but in his movies it FEELS bigger.
@@broden4838 Correct. Although not a full reactor ignition wont be enough to completely obliterate a planet or moon, the process of planetary decay from the shot is still effective.
Yeah and they didn't shoot to destroy the planet itself just everyone on it. Which also means there were probably some storm troopers that didn't survive
It’s ready; Krennick intends to blow up the entire planet. He doesn’t because Tarkin says it’s not necessary. There are recent concerns regarding Galen and things he could have done but they are confident the laser is operational.
They didnt want to tip off the rebellion as to the death star's true power. Alderaan had a extremely strong planetary shield, one that was likely strong enough for a single reactor shot.
Retrospectively, Death Star 1 had the biggest presence and felt like a genuine dread out of all the 3 super weapons in the franchise. Established in A New Hope, elevated by Rogue One and even Andor. It is the OG and definitive super weapon that left a long lasting legacy in the franchise and what followed can never match the impact it has.
I know the sound design has already been applauded for decades, but gahddamn the original power up and discharge sounds *soooo* good. It never gets old.
Rogue One's is more realistic in size of destruction, yet also seems HELLA more terrifying. Literally an Orbital Nuke cannon, with a much harsher and more condensed area of absolute obliteration.
Two or three set locations were based on actual control room equipment for the weapon controls- Indicator wall: An industrial plant process control room or a power plant control room.

@@vorpalweapon4814 Not necessarily. Even the asteroid which wiped out the dinosaurs didn't make Earth permanently unlivable. And it didn't kill the birds.

In A New Hope, I noted that the Death Star was a simple instrument of empire. However, in Rogue One, being a film more focused on the reign of empire and oppression to the lowest rebels, It feels a greater threat, just as the atomic bomb has been since the 1940s.
Starkiller in Episode VII was probably one of the most horrifying ones, as you probably would've thought it'd just kill one planet, but no, it would kill an entire system.

@@miguellopez3392 Real lasers can have several beams pointing directly at the same target, not bouncing off of eachother before turning into a single beam.
they had a call. they could make it look the same (or close enough) as ANH or they could make it more dramatic an visusaly stunning. they chose the latter.
They didn't. The Death Star superlaser can vary in intensity. From single reactor ignition that only targets the surface of a planet, to full power ignition that can completely obliterate it. It being just built by the time of Rogue One meant they stuck to the weaker laser to test it. Alderaan was the first time they, as Tarkin put it in A New Hope, demonstrated the full power of the station.
They didn't discharge the full reactor capacity into the super laser emitters. No need to destroy the whole planet when you just need to wreck the information dump.
I think they messed up a few things because in the version of Episode 4 I watched, the center super laser module never fired through the center cross over of the outer beam emitters. In Rogue One the center emitter fired (despite being the same station, in Episode 6 the second death star actually did make use of the center emitter). (edit, yeah my point stands, I thought this video had a newer edition or something with the center emitter going off but it doesn't)
There are proposals to use either high powered lasers or laser-coupled particle beams for asteroid defense, there are two main issues with it, firstly space technology has stagnated hard since the 90s and is only just now beginning to improve in major ways again, and secondly such satellites could obviously be used as weapons so governments are going to be very wary of deploying them. Unlike nuclear weapons a laser or particle beam leaves no contamination, and outside of building the initial device they cost very little to fire off, meaning that if a war in space were to break out there's a risk that the two warring countries could destroy huge portions of their own and everybody else's telecommunication satellites with ease. This would badly disrupt communication, the major GPS networks, global wifi and thus trade, which would set off economic hardships in many countries reliant on communication to keep their money moving around as it should, etc. Realistically, we've had the technology to build such satellites for years and years, but there is legitimate concern that they could pose more of a danger to than a benefit if misused.
Certainly. However building something of that scale: 1. Is too expensive 2. Damage from asteroids means insurance companies will make a fortune selling insurance against something not likely to happen 3. There's too many dipwads who would use this to wreck the moon just to prove to everyone who doesn't think it actually exists that it does xD
The moment where the Death Star has eclipsed the planet's sun (like our Moon does), and the superlaser blast shoots downward from it, is very reminiscent of a "bleeding moon" imagery that recurs in media for a representation of death. Only here it's the sickly radioactive green of poison and technology, rather than the red of blood. Stunning use of symbolism. It's one of the times when you can really pin down the directorial genius that made Rogue One such a masterpiece of a film.
The Death Star was always scary just for how strong it was but something about it move into place to fire make it even scary, especially when its blocking the sun
When I first saw this.. When The Father Narrating (AS THE DS IS SHOOTING WHERE THEY’RE AT) I thought it was like a Dream or A demonstration Re-enactment like in Past-tense not even realizing that while he was Talking in the message it was HAPPENING WHERE THEY WERE 🤯 I tell ya I was either dumb and slow or that was Some AWESOME Writing and Narrative in how the whole Scene was Done !
but why should separate streams come out? But even if it were, these should continue on their trajectory, not merge into one. This doesn't make any sense
We call that hyper advanced physics. Also with the beams converging in such a way you can change the trajectory of the shot by mending the cone of fire. Also, these are kyber radiation beams, not normal lasers. Light saber beams collide, why wouldn't these?
Laser pointer, laser cat toy, barcode scanner etc you can see them all. Death Star lasers use Kyber Crystals so they are coloured like lightsabers are.
@@graememcfee23 no? those switches do different things like in rogue one "target jedha city prepare single reactor ignition" because you wouldn't always want to destroy the planet you would lose resources etc
You don't fire up a nuclear power plant with a single car key either, let alone a generator at the size of London :D You need to have engineering personel to Control the power output of that magnitude, and even tho it's a weapon, ironically for its operators and the entire station with a crew of millions, it needs to have safety "protocols". Otherwise it would be roll credits real fast.
The original version is more powerful and funnier, I mean the planet explodes like a balloon, and in Rogue One they give it more drama than if it remains
