What the hell is going on in that picture?
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

It's the end cut-scene from Rebellion (if you're the Rebels and you win). Previously in that cutscene, the Mon Cal, a Correllian Corvette, and some fighters jumped out of hyperspace. The Mon Cal and the Corvette began shooting, and two Y-wings torpedoed the "shield generators" on the top of the bridge, thus paving the way for the destruction of the SSD.

The Mon Cal flies through the wreckage and then jumps to hyperspace. Sorry, no ramming.

Boy, those are some pretty precise and exact explosions... no jagged lines in that wreckage at all.

I hope its just the MonCal's relation to the camera, but from that shot it appears to be the largest MonCal Cruiser ever produced. Even Home One wasnt that large in comparison to an SSD.

I think it's a lot closer to the camera.

Or have the Mon Cals finally produced the MC110s? :D

Considering this game labels the Executor as 8km long I say we can safely disregard this scene.

Wow, so Executor class ships pretty much break in to about three sections when they're destroyed, huh?

Not to mention the fact they are not shield generators up there, Gdamn Baka Game Producers don't do their homework

Since when could a corvette, a cruiser, and handful of fighters destroy an SSD?

I never thought I'd see a Star Destroyer and a Calamari having sex in space.

Guess there's a first time for everything.

Since never.
And if they could, building an SSD would be a waste of money.
