Well again, that depends on initiative.
I can use bombard.... there should be enough rubble around in the streets to get that done I hope.
Can I use it while hiding near the ship or can I only do that while being out? Because I prefer to be hidden of course.
Also, shouldn't it be time we start yelling they should stop shooting and ask them to surrender? You know... we're Jedi, we should give them the opportunity to save their lives.
No, you're twisting my words. This is self defense, not obliteration. If you are so worried about casualties why don't you surrender?
Again we are out numbered and out gunned here. Sure we are alright now but both sides know that we can't keep this up forever. They're not going to surrender when they know they can wear us down and kill us.
This isn't a band of pirates or mercenaries we're dealing with here, this is the armed forces of a planet.
My point is: you're not giving them an option: you just keep killing them off.
Throwing away your lightsabre, stepping away from cover and yelling "can't we talk?" is simply stupid. Asking them to stop so that they can save their skins isn't. Are you a Jedi who tries to protect lives or some twisted version who kills off anyone who ever dared to fire a shot at you?
Fair enough, Ush!
Still going to be a little stubborn with my point.
You're making it sound like we are hunting them down one by one, which isn't true. If they backed off I certainly wouldn't pursue and before you say 'just ask them to' it's not that simple.
The idea of them surrendering is so ridiculous that is doesn't need to be considered. They wont simply stop because we ask them to, if they had any peaceful intentions in the first place they wouldn't have shot us out of the sky when we first arrived.
There is a time and place for when you ask the opposition to back down. This is not one of them.
Also I never even suggest an idea like "Throwing away your lightsabre, stepping away from cover and yelling "can't we talk?""
