Re: vertical take off

Then the ships wouldn't be pulled down by gravity in space maps, only the repulsors would be able to do that.  But the ships would still be pulled down by gravity on ground maps.

Re: vertical take off

normally not, cause the vehicles use anti-gravity fields smile

Re: vertical take off

of course, cause how can they float? smile

with a repulsor lift, yes, but I think that's the same of an anti gravity field smile

Re: vertical take off

Uh, I doubt they had anti-gravity. They had repulsors for lift and had thrusters for.... thrust!

Re: vertical take off

and how do they not crash into the earth, cause the gravity pulls at the vehicles, so they need something to reverse the pull in push, so the anti gravity field smile

I think George Lucas told it in the special edtion, during the first shots in 1977, they had some kind of color under the vehicles, landspeeder it is, and they called it a forcefield smile
