X-wing shields

Post by Ender »

I'm dealing with a moron who claims, and I quote

"X-wings having shields is another thing that was never established in the films."

Can anyone with access to the scripts confirm his idiocy, or is it done via visuals? I already checked the Canon database.

If not, I'll just beat his ass down with official.

Screw visuals, they got dialogue that establishes shields.

Stablize your rear deflectors, watch for enemy fighters
set your deflectors on double front
there are others

I thought so, thanks.

No I just have to prove that neutronium is stronger then duranium and that matter does not "explosively uncouple" during phase change and I'm set.

I know in ANH this line comes up from Red Leader

'Switch deflectors to double front.'

In the ANH novelisation

'We're passing through thier outer shields. Hold tight. Lock down freeze-floating controls and switch your own deflectors on, doubl front.'

I can't remember the radio dramas lines. I'm sure it's there too.

I don't feel like going through the rest of the damn movie or novelisation, but there's plenty of canon and EU about it.

Ossus coming through with the save!!! I think the mention in the movie to have deflectors on double front. When they enter the trench I believe.

That would be the annoying kind of troll. It's better when they try to muddle through the facts.
