Hurts man.


Tbf, massive capital ships would be inept at catching a lone smuggler's ship that's literally the fastest in the Galaxy.


Fastest in hyperspace, not real space. Remember in ANH the Falcon had to go to hyperspace to escape the Imperials, who were gaining on them at sublight speeds.

Rogue One I genuinely enjoyed.
The space battle, battle on the ground, and of course the 5 minutes of Darth Vader killing Rebel Scum made me sqee with joy.

We need more good Sci-fi battles in film.

I love space battles. Remember the Clone Wars tv show? That was such a good show. But of course it got cancelled.

Tbf, the Falcon didn't outpace the Destroyers in ESB either. They lost them through cleverness and unorthodox tactics.
