star wars - Do we know the names of the vehicles/ships seen in The Last Jedi?


We got to lay our eyes on some cool new ships and vehicles in The Last Jedi in a couple different scenarios. We got some cool new speeders, more AT-ATs, the Largest starship we've probably ever seen as well as the scariest we've ever seen.


The ones that I've been wondering the most about are what I've been calling the:


Gorilla AT-ATs


Gorilla AT-ATs



Salt Speeders


Salt speeders


Some of the other new vehicles we'd seen was Snoke's "super duper ultra" Star Destroyer, which was the width of the entire First Order Fleet, and the menacing Dreadnought which featured at the start of the film.


Finally, whether we know the name of the bomber that the A-wings and X-wings were excorting?


Resistance Bomber


Resistance Bombers


Oh, nearly forgot:


Canto Bight Air Speeders


The walkers dragging the Battering Ram forwards



Answer




The Incredible Cross-Sections book identifies them as;




  • Gorilla Walkers = All-Terrain MegaCalibre 6 / AT-M6




  • Salt Speeders = V-4X-D Ski Speeder




  • Resistance Bomber = MG-100 StarFortress Bomber / B/SF-17





  • Dreadnought = Mandator IV-class warship




  • Walkers dragging battering Ram = All-Terrain Heavy Hauler / AT-HH




  • Canto Bight Police Air Speeders = Cantonica Zephyr GB-134 Jet-Stick





  • Finn and Rose's stolen ship = Guild d'Lanseaux Custom Star Yacht




  • Snoke's Star Destroyer = Supremacy (Mega-class)

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

Which Doctor Who works are canon?

I have been watching a Doctor Who documentary and they mentioned that Paul McGann did audio stories so he wasn't just a one-hit Doctor (and that there are novels featuring his Doctor as well). My question is: is Doctor Who canon just the show, or is it like Star Wars where some books and audios are canon and some are not? The documentary also shows that before 2005 they did audio stories where the Doctor is female and obviously that cannot be — not the female part, but the show doesn't count any female Doctors in episodes like The Day of the Doctor . Answer Nothing, and also everything The definitive piece of writing on Doctor Who canon is this blog post by writer Paul Cornell . I'm essentially going to be summarizing his post here, much less eloquently, but one section I want to quote directly is this: Nobody at the BBC has ever uttered a pronouncement about what is and isn't canonical. (As I'm sure they'd put it, being such enthusiasts for good grammar.) Be...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...
