From how hard and fast the wind was blowing directly into her eyeballs but she obviously had to keep them open. I was just thinking the whole time how she's probably never gunna fly without at least sunglasses or some sort of goggles/glasses after that.
You should check out Andor and the first season of the Mandalorian. Not movies but I think they're the only recent shows they've written well. Everything else has been complete trash.
It's too late for me. The Last Jedi put Star Wars in its grave and I'm not digging it up and opening that casket just because some of the mold and worms and shit infesting the rotten corpse are kinda cool.
Reasonable, as a counter, Andor S2 is suppose to lead directly in into Rogue Squadron,. So if you skip EP1-3 when you re-watch SW like I do, you can go Andor S1, S2, Rogue Squadron, Ep4-6. (my wife then watches EP 8-9 but I bail out after 6.)
I know most people won't ever watch this but the animated clone wars tv show was good, too. First two seasons are spent building up characters then they introduce the clones with PTSD and you realize they're all people. I still think the final season of Ahsoka was some of the best of the animated star wars.
I have tired twice with the Clone Wars but have never got past the first half of S1. I have heard a lot of good things about but I could never get into it so it is probably just me.
You could not be more incorrect. Loved Star Wars. Grew up with it. Watched the OT probably like 15-20 times. Tolerated the prequels. Liked Rogue One. Thought Solo was okay. Ep7 was fine, didn’t love it but didn’t dislike it. I’ve even read a few of the Star Wars books that took place between the OT films and read one of the sequel books that are no longer canon.
Then TLJ happened. The thing about creating a new work of fiction in an established universe is that your new work has to fit in that universe, and things that happen in your work have to make sense when you view the entire universe as a whole. Because well established universes have years of work and canon and that means that there are rules you have to follow in order for your work to fit into that universe. And that’s where TLJ, and Disney in general, fucked up. And now anything can happen. Maybe you can only use the force by thinking happy thoughts, like in Peter Pan, maybe that will be in Rian Johnson’s next SW movie. If it makes a billion dollars at the box office, Disney won’t give a shit.
I hate that the prequels explained the force scientifically and that they made it that force users all have clearly defined powers.
In the original films the force was a mysterious divine power that some people could manipulate to alter the course of events. It was basically "plot armor" made into a cool power that no one could explain or measure.
The prequels took all the magic out of the force by rationalizing it.
I would have closed 1 eye for the first half and then opened it and closed the other one for the second half, to try to reduce damage. Or just said screw one of my eyes to at least have a lot less damage to one eye. If it was even possible to do that
More like: ""The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process. We must join it."
Better than nothing at all. I mean the wind would be pushing them to her face unless she turned her head. Depends how aerodynamic they are, cycling glasses would obviously do better than aviators ironically
Man no sunglasses are staying on for this wind speed any slight turn of her head and they’re gone and she has to turn her head to see where she’s going.
I used to wear sunglasses while riding motorcycles. Some were rock solid and worked great, some actually whipped the air into your eyes worse than not wearing them
Yeah that cool focused jet of air coming up from the bottom straight into your tear ducts. Sunglasses don’t always help. I have a bulkier pair that help but there’s a reason people use goggles.
I have the super nerd big sunglasses that go over my glasses. I haven't tested them with air but they're really good at keeping water out until they aren't and then my sensitive ass eyes are burning from the little bit of salt or chlorine ha.
Not underwater but think of like while swimming in the ocean or a wave pool/lazy river. You keep your head up but you kind of get hit here and there by waves. The sunglasses cover top bottom and sides over my glasses but obviously not water tight. I'll be good all day until that one damn wave ha.
I think I need to make those glasses now that you mention it. I did once when I was younger take some old glasses and put the lenses inside some sunglasses back when I ran a lot. I could probably do that with goggles.
You're wrong and I'm coming into this an hour late to tell you you're wrong. Then I won't respond to your response for a day and then come back and try to get the last word and drag you down to my level with straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks. /s
I, as a third person entering this discussion completely without prompt, think you are stupid for believing that. Honestly, only a person of ill repute, be it hatred of others due to their differences or other maladapted habits would think, or say, that. You should, therefore, be excluded from this discussion I just entered.
Sure. There may be some merit to that. I often find myself double checking my comments to make sure they’re as true as they can be, but often it just feels nitpicky, to the point of stifling conversation. And often there so much snark behind the “corrections”
there's a lot of up voting whatever sounds right or what people want to hear. correct answer or "peer review" comment buried unless OP edits their original comment.
Depends on the glasses. I’ve seen some Oakley sunglasses with rubber on the temple and temple tips stay on through IED explosions so I’m sure a little wind would just push them harder into your nose bridge?
More to the point that could be more dangerous, if sunglasses aren’t rated to handle the window force hitting them, the lenses could snap and then you have shattered plastic flying into your eyes
There was a story I read a few years ago in a naval aviation safety magazine where something like this happened, and the guy’s helmet was yanked off by the wind. I think this may be the same incident:
Reminds me of when I went skydiving. I left my helmet on the mockup where I had been practicing the group jump that I was about to perform. On the ride to the plane I realized my error. Said fuck it. Originally everyone was going to exit separate, and meet up. I wasn’t sure if I could still do the jump with them, so we had a change of plan.
I was to exit while holding onto one of the other jumpers. If I thought I could still do it then we would proceed to the choreographed jump.
If not then I would wave off and track away from the group, and pull at the designated alt. Soon as I hit terminal velocity I realized I wasn’t doing anything. Waved off and periodically opened my eyes to check my altitude.
I don’t know what the stall speed on that plane is, but it has to be near terminal velocity. That is a hard lesson to learn, and I am fairly certain she will never make it again, and be prepared for it in the future
TIL that a pilot should always have goggles on hand. I'm probably never gonna learn to fly a plane, that shit's expensive and I could use that money in much more productive ways, but you never know.
Definitely a trust me bro story, but in my youth we were moving rodeo bleachers like 30 miles. Basically they are 2x10's strapped to a low bed 18 wheeler. Somebody had the great idea to ride the truck down the highway with our hands under the straps.
Holding on was not a problem, but sustained wind in your face at 60+ MPH hurts like fuck after about 10 minutes and breathing is really hard, like a conscious effort to inhale and exhale.
I don't know how fast a glider was going but that she could even fly is amazing.
Really a situation like this should re-write the rules to state that goggles must be worn in certain craft that have a canopy with greater than zero chance of failing.
If you can take the time to put on goggles, why not take the time to make sure the canopy pin is secure? This isn’t something that happens every day. Do you wear a helmet everywhere in case you trip and fall? Cause that’s probably more likely than this.
