Reply To: Thoughts on Star Wars Rise of Skywalker
One could imagine that there is a deflector shield as at the Rebel base on Hoth. That would mean enemy incoming from the surface beside the shield. Cameras could be used. infrared sensors too. These do not emit a signature like radar to be picked up by the enemy. But a watchman could too. Given that the forest would be full of creatures the life form sensors used on R2D2 and C3PO in the escape pod would be rendered useless. He should have some of those video binoculars though. The next question therefore would be, “For the love of all things that are holy, why does this man have a spear?” It may be he has a localised deflector shield around him and he may need to poke at it to ensure it’s on. I think my excuses for this ridiculous scene provide some semblance of credibility.
