Star Wars + Bullets = Bad

[george]

You know? Why don't people in star wars use guns with BULLETS. Not some laser gun that you can see from like miles away and like knock away with a light saber. I'd like to see a Jedi dodge a minigun or a shotgun. Psshh even a pistol could own a Jedi any day. It'd be like boom, dead, done.

What do you guys think?

Because that's how George Lucas wanted it to be, I guess. I don't really see how this is a debate.

[george]

It really isn't but I just wanted to see what you guys thought :)

Because lasers with bright lights are a fuck of allot cooler looking
and the good guy doesn't get owned by a toaster on legs

Well then it should belong in TWPR or somewhere, as Ramblings of the Wise is for debates.

[george]

Ok then move away mods and admins :D

Actually this is about a movie, so I'm moving this to Television and Cinema.

MOVING

In reality a laser would be impossible to dodge because it moves at about 300,000 kilometers/second. You wouldn't know what hit you.

yep. BUllets are metal and uses fire to fire it, fire dosen't work in space, and usually stars are in space.

Star Wars is suppose to be futuristic (even though it says long long ago...) Bullets are modern, lasers are futuristic. And actually a bullet will not own a Jedi since light saber bounces off laser, bullets will just be like disintegrated if it hits the light saber.

Ok well I'm talking about those huge battles when there are like droids and stuff shooting millions of little laser pewpew thingys like the 1st Star Wars movie :D Sure lasers in space are ok but not on land :D And what happen to nukes?

WRONG!! lol I'd like to see a Jedi move faster than a bullet is moving to disintegrate a bullet. What about Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, things that unload so many bullets it'd be impossible for a Jedi to move his Lightsaber that fast.

Death Star>nukes. On your point about speed, I already said a real laser moves at about 300,000km/s, which is much faster than a bullet.

[george]

yes but in the movie obviously the lasers dont move that fast :D and a bullet it ALOT smaller.

Smaller? Light doesn't have a mass. If we're what-ifing we should also what-if about real lasers.
