I'm not sure a moment of one bridge officer shouting "It's taken enough of a pounding, the shields are down but we'll be chewing on that armor for hours, send in the Y-Wings with their Ion Torpedoes to disable their systems!" would've enhanced my experience.
I just mentally chalked up 'this battle has been going a while, clearly the shields have been roughed up, yay Y-Wings doing something useful!'

I find it unrealistic that the most modern battleship of the era would be disabled by one torpedo from a outdated plane.
That's just silly.

They explicitly show the X-Wings taking out the Star Destroyer's shield generators before the Y-Wings do their torpedo run. One of the X-Wings flies through the massive hole it blows in the generator.
I still don't understand why they haven't released a new X-Wing/Tie Fighter game. There's already a lack of any good space fighting sims plus the resurgence of Star Wars means they would make all the money
I think because PC gamers stopped buying joysticks decades ago. Gamepads have recently come into style, but it's a little limiting. Even so, it seems like Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen have been enough to prompt Thrustmaster and Saitek (now Logitech) to launch some new products, so that's something.
That said, I've always felt like part of the reason for no X-Wing games was that it's so easy to run into continuity problems with Star Wars. X-Wing covered the original trilogy, and TIE Fighter dabbled in the EU back around when the Zahn trilogy came out, but now we have new movies coming out and every single one has new ships and a new environment; it's not easy for a video game to slot itself in. You have fictional universes designed to tell their stories, like Star Wars, and ones that are there to act as a backdrop, like Warhammer 40K, and it's naturally going to be easier to design games that fit in the latter.
The prequel era is probably the most fertile ground for more games. There aren't any new ships coming out, and you know what to write around. But it's not what the audience wants.
They would. Most I have heard is that there are some indie devs porting over X-Wing and TIE Fighter to the Unity engine. But that will be C&D'd before it gets released, even if it's free and an engine update.
It requires the original game to work so they're hoping to get by on the technicality that the port is a mod.

I bet most people don't even know how many, or what color, of dice a Star Destroyer chucks from it's side batteries, let alone the possible upgrades that ion cannons can sport.
If we're going to complain about the space pushing thing, can we complain about the fact the Resistance has EMP missiles that can get through shields and instantly knock out an entire Star Destroyer in a single volley?
Where did these come from? Why have they never been used before or since? Why didn't they bring enough to disable both Star Destroyers in the R1 battle? Why didn't Leia fire some EMP missiles at Vader's SD in the beginning of ANH, let his disable ship drift and crash on Tatooine, and fly off with the Death Star plans after ridding the galaxy of the Sith Emperor's right hand?
Why is the Rebellion scared of the Empire at all if they have unstoppable single-shot kill-missiles for the Empire's greatest weapon pre-Death-Star? I've said it before and I'll say it again, R1 looks like it's about a desperate Empire about to be overrun by an overly-powerful Rebellion, not the other way around.
The Imperial forces were just caught with their pants down. Rebels pop-up from out of nowhere and start shooting, and so they have the initiative in the fighting because it's always advantageous to be the attacker.
This really doesn't last, though. After the initial squads of Stormtroopers are gunned down & the rebel Starfighters deliver their alpha strike, the rebels very quickly start losing momentum against a superior force and their precious equipment & personnel get chipped away. Rogue One wasn't making it off of that planet, Death Star or not.
The Rebels almost lost everything. They were a hair's breadth away from outright having the data retaken by Vader, which would've meant that all of those assets going to waste. That probably would've been the end of the Rebellion right then and there.
You've got to remember that the Empire's whole military strategy is volume. Yes, one Star Destroyer has a massive vulnerability in the fact that most or all of its big guns are pointed in the same direction. You know what, though? In the average engagement with Imperial ships, if you're comfortably nestled in the quiet zone behind one Star Destroyer, its four or five buddies who are not pointed in that direction have a clear line of fire on you.
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
Okay the last (and really only) Star Wars game I played was the N64 one, Shadows of the Empire. That friggin game blew my mind. Now that you've got my blood feeling Star Warsy, can anyone recommend a good Star Wars game along the same lines? I want cool story, and good music.
Edit: I have a mediocre desktop PC with a 3 year old mid range graphics card that can run World of Warcraft half-decently at medium settings. I have a PS4 controller if that matters.

I saw the movie this afternoon. I'm annoyed by that space ramming thing.
Not because naval ramming isn't a thing. It is. It even was in the era of cruisers and battleships from which Star Wars borrows.
But amid what was a very cool looking space battle--better than anything in The Force Awakens I think--it was really dumb, because as follows:
1) The ramming ship should've "sank" immediately, if not exploded in a fireball. If you're a small ship ramming a bigger one, you better have a suicide wish. If you wanted to live, tough shit, you shouldn't have rammed a ship ten times your length and a hundred times your mass. As in the World Wars, ramming in this context makes more sense as an act of desperation combined with a tactical cost-benefit decision: damaging, if not destroying, a Imperial ship of the line is worth a lot more than your shitty suicide ram ship. Imagine if the A-Wing that smashed into the Executor did that, and then the pilot popped out and went, "Woohwee! Now that's ship ramming!" over the charred corpses of all the bridge crew.
2) After ramming the vastly larger ship, and all the damage that should've entailed, the ram ship is somehow able to summon several times more total thrust output. That would've been more useful in the actual ramming to deliver a crippling blow to a more valuable ship, but whatever, I guess that would've scratched your precious ram ship.
3) Using this miraculous thrust, the much smaller ram ship somehow pushes the much, much larger destroyer into another destroyer--which immediately splinters into a million pieces. Because the ram ship plowing into a much more massive warship scratched the paint, but one destroyer very slowly striking an equally massive destroyer immediately destroys both of them. This is not helped by the fact that we already saw two ships of a very similar class crash into each other at equal, or greater speed, in The Empire Strikes Back. What did they do? Their crews shouted a bunch, they crunched together--and made a very loud, satisfying sound--and the crew bounce around inside while alarms went off, then probably shouted some more.
It was a very dumb thing, I think. It stood out more because, honestly, the space battle (and air battle) was extremely visually impressive nonetheless.
Also, Darth Vader making puns is a much less imposing Darth Vader.
If we're going to complain about the space pushing thing, can we complain about the fact the Resistance has EMP missiles that can get through shields and instantly knock out an entire Star Destroyer in a single volley?
Where did these come from? Why have they never been used before or since? Why didn't they bring enough to disable both Star Destroyers in the R1 battle?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, R1 looks like it's about a desperate Empire about to be overrun by an overly-powerful Rebellion, not the other way around.
Ion Torpedos/Cannons and Ion Weaponry in general has always been a thing in Star Wars. They don't go through shields and instantly knock out an entire Star Destroyer in a single volley, though. What we saw was the end result of that Star Destroyer taking tons of hits, losing their shields, and then taking a well placed Ion hit.
The upside to that kind of weaponry is that it does chew through shields faster and if you hit an unshielded target then a well placed hit could mess up any of their electronic systems. The downside is that they do close to zero actual physical damage to the target, at least not like lasers. So they are pretty useless when fighting TIEs or in small fighter engagements in general.
I don't think we saw it in the past because the Rebellion has almost always been either involved in fighter engagements or focused on doing actual damage to things like the Death Star.
The ion cannon in Empire disables a SD in two shots.
We can't scrutinize the old testament, only this new stuff.
One disables the shields, the other disables the whole vessel.
It was also a lot more powerful than those torpedos. The torpedos needed the shields to be down, thanks to the X-Wings, before they could disable the Star Destroyer.

The Star Destroyer looks like it does because it's supposed to look giant and intimidating when it shows up in the first seconds of the first movie. It's a giant threatening aggressive shape that just keeps growing in size as it looms over the picture, establishing instantly to the audience the relative positions of the two sides we literally just met.

Republic Commando was great, except for the sections with infinitely respawning enemies, and several weapons that were about as powerful as a spitball fired at a half hearted speed.

I didn't hate it, but it never felt much fun while I was playing it. (I expect that some of this is down to me not particularly liking the prequel aesthetics, mind you. If it had been Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters, I might've been into it more.)

And for imp stars be being under protected, they are supposed to be accompanied by numerous smaller ships. It just seems that the only imperial capital ships movies want to show are star destroyers though
When a Star Destroyer has initiative (see Vader) they are fearsome. When ambushed prior to scrambling fighters, they are vulnerable. Seems fine. Dropping from hyperspace into immediate attack is just THAT good.

I mean, it's worth pointing out that the rebel fleet, which consisted of quite a number of ships, nearly lost to just two Star Destroyers, and were completely routed when a third showed up. Like, even if they hadn't been planning to flee once they got the plans, most of their ships were disabled or destroyed by that point. If there had just been four Destroyers present the Rebels would have been boned. They only did as well as they did because they initially had a numerical advantage in space.
