(This is why the "official" crew counts for Star Destroyers are ludicrous, they're absurd and beg the question of why an entire *army* wasn't waiting for our heroes in their bold break in.)

The crew counts are realistic for their size compared to current naval vessels, I think. But they make no sense in story or interior design.

I mean, maybe. I can't help but feel building a ship of that size without extensive automation is kind of pointless. And it definitely makes for kind of horrific casualty counts inflicted by any given snubfighter wing. I wish we saw actual capital ship slugging matches.

Like Poe has presumably personally killed thousands of people with his X-Wing, that's kind of harrowing to contemplate. It REALLY doesn't help that every ship in Star Wars seems to go up like a firecracker instead of more believably knocked out & drifting as a burning hulk.

Yeah that's true. I've always considered that part of the way the SW universe is set up. They're great at energy manipulation and power generation, but their material sciences are shit. So any reactor explosion or the likes tears through the hull like wet paper.

But basically nothing else makes sense with that view. Hell, X-Wings and TIEs alone handle reentry with no problem at all. Ben's TIE *literally exploded with him in it* and still left not only wreckage but him basically totally ok.

(Seriously, it *exploded*, how the fuck did he survive)

At a guess, he used force personal shield, a totally existing force power I didn't make up right now, then floated in the void of space, and reached the cabin of some ship. Like Leia.

Nah, it exploded in a crash. It's just the fact that usually Star Wars explosions equals *literally atomized*

Are you talking about when Rey cuts his wing off? You see the cockpit of the TIE break off and survive

The cockpit *exploded* when it hits the ground. Presumably the engines cook off.
