The date pretty much says it all.
300 more pages of slamming fg and seth incomming....
The Dark Legacy comic strip was great

Too bad they are making this joke 12 years too late and when both sucks
So the April's Fools madness has started
Well, no. The TIE bombers don't actually carry "bombs". They carry concussion missiles, proton torpedoes, grenades (thermal detonators), and mines. If you watch Empire Strikes Back, you can see the ordinance are blue (the actual weapon in flight, not just the blast) and they "streak" towards the asteroid, heavily implying that they're not being dropped - they're being fired (covered in some kind of plasma sheath like the proton torpedoes from A New Hope). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phGlo_TNDp0
Compare that to Last Jedi, where it very clearly appears that the bombs are just rolling off a rack and slowly tumble towards the dreadnought "below". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oiT7Kkx630 The Visual Dictionary says they're using electromagnets to leave the bay, and then are pulled to their target magnetically. Technically, since they're being "launched" off the rails (like a really weak rail gun), the weapon functions more like a mortar firing shells. If you consider magnetic attraction a sort of guided propulsion, then then it's essentially a missile launcher. I don't know how the bombs differentiate a target they pull towards from other bombs or what they were launched from (the bomber), but I presume there's some sci-fi handwaving involved.
Bombs and depth charges are dropped, though. That's what makes them bombs, and not missiles, rockets, torpedoes, mortar shells, or mines.
Mostly I think Last Jedi wanted to create a WWII impression to inject some gravitas into a scene that really didn't have much (a theme that would replay throughout the movie's run). Whatever explanation they use, it still ended up looking stupid as hell.
so in a universe where you have space ships. Hyperdrives, Lightsabers, Supernatural force powers and little green men who talk funny. There would be no way they would have bombs capable of being delivered in zero gravity ?
what about the gravity generators inside the ships ? that technology would not be usable on bombs aswell ?
Ah, MMO Champion. The place like any other where the comments are as entertaining as seeing Trump's assholery every day. Which is funny on one hand and sad on the other, if you do not get my drift.
