It was truly something.

    x wings are lightspeed capable

    the fact that you can hyperspace into another ship and blow it up means that for all of this time, they could have simply hyperspaced a single x wing into a star destroyer and blown it up as the energy carried by it would be immense (you know, going faster than fucking light)

    I've always been bothered by the physics at hand and how they don't take advantage of that, but seeing them do it once and then never again bothers me even more

      This is always my pet peeve. Like, I can gloss over a bunch of things for the sake of the story but once something has been introduced it becomes stupid to completely forget about it. This one really takes the cake. Just have a droid program an X-Wing on a collision course and you don't even need the dead pilot part.
