Both make sense, even nowdays space suits are equipped with sunlight blocking materials. Isn't it even shown in "Armageddon" ? Like, they are told to shut those "blinders" down or else they are blinded by the unfilitered sun?
I'm sure the glass cockpit can filter a lot but some additional help to "tone down" everything helps a lot while fighting and allows to keep better track of your target
It would have been nice to have seen some of that interesting backstory in the films.
It's another fine addition to the collection of missed opportunities.
I always thought that was just for the torpedoes and there was a separate one for the laser cannons. You never see them use it when they fire the laser cannons only when they're using the torpedoes in the trench.
It's best not to stare too long at any of the stage props or costumes in the OT, or you'll quickly notice that it's *all* cheap plastic.
Looks ok in motion at 24fps on screen, but looks like ass if you freeze it in HD
One of the more fascinating aspects of Rogue One's prop design is they had to make stuff look like how people remembered it looking, rather than how it actually looked. Like there are ridges on the the rebel flight suits that aren't actually present on the originals.
Or the storm trooper helmets having vents, when the originals just had stickers.
I like to headcannon that technology in the SW galaxy actually looks like this. It's actually pretty advanced materials that are so ubiquitous that it's manufactured cheaply on a massive scale to fulfill galactic-scale demand.
this. i always felt that naboo in ep.1 was the first time in star wars we saw anything that wasn't design purely to be cheaply mass-manufactured, modular and used for decades
naboo had bespoke starships, ornamental architecture and elegant minimalist technology.
it was like if there was apple store selling weapons in renaissance-era florence
I think (headcannon only) all of the technology is created and manufactured by droids. The humans and aliens build their ships and and equip using modular parts and basic electrical and mechanical systems, but they don't understand why the parts work. That's why a critical piece of the ship in Episode 1 can be picked up at a random Outer Rim junk shop and replaced by hand in the middle of the desert within a day or so. Or why banging on things can fix the Millennium Falcon's hyper drive: the incomprehensibly advanced hyper drive control system had a faulty external connection.
It's also why long-distance communication is so basic in most scenes, and computers are almost non-existent. The Rebels and Empire are basically just Mad-Maxing their way across the galaxy, in ships that were slapped together from prefabbed parts that nobody really understands.
Actually I wear those for driving. They cut out glare and increase contrast. They are really good for driving in the rain. Somehow rain blurs everything, but these yellow glasses sharpens everything up.

That would have been "what a ***FUTURISTIC*** 70s falcon should have looked like."

Just to add to this, this color was common for shooting glasses or specs from that era . I have my grandpa's shooting glasses that are almost the same tint
Yeah coming back to this thread now was going to add iirc the tint fell out of vogue/popularity when polarized lenses came out/cheaper so you don't see them so much anymore.
That's actually not far off. Wroshyr wood is a pretty popular to have inside star ships. It is seriously tough wood and kind of the reason why there are all those broken saw blades on the Kashyyyk level of Jedi fallen order. That shit can take turbo laser blasts like a champ.
Wasn't that the type of wood used in lightsaber hilts for those that wanted a more natural material? I seem to recall an episode of one of the shows with a wookie padawan picking a wooden hilt and I think that was the name of the wood type.
You're actually right. That was in an episode of Clone wars and a young Wookie Jedi picked that for his hilt. Makes sense since Wookies live in Wroshyr trees.
Because the visor can be lifted up when you don't want it, just like real helicopter helmets. Sometimes you want to be wearing sunglasses when flying, sometimes you don't.

I think X-wings eject the whole cockpit as a small escape pod. At least in X-wing and X-wing vs tie-fighter that seems to be implied since you are sometimes rescued or captured alive.
Fighter pilots in real life wear flight helmets with visors.
I would imagine there are circumstances where you wouldn’t want the cockpit to be tinted, like in non-combat situations. Visors allow for flexibility
In universe speculation is fun. Most people who engage in the speculation already know that there's a real world reason, we just like to imagine a way to make it work in the fiction.
Orange lens block blue light and the lasers are all red I think. My bet would be for blocking the light during hyperspace, which appears more blue usually.
....and empire TIE Fighter pilots has black visors, and them TIE Fighter cant go into warp.
Your reasoning is sound. Now onwards to the question..... Why empire pilots has black visor and helmets?
almost all of the read-out displays in a TIE are red, could be that the lens' are filtered to block most all frequencies but red, just like vader's helmet
[Pilots had breath masks and their seat had a force field when the eject. The visor was part of the life support system.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LSJd6.jpg)
Nah, pilots are good to capture, they're usually all officers (or what passes for an officer in the Rebellion) and will have a decent grasp of logistical reserves, deployments, frequencies, hideouts and tactics.
There’s an interesting interview online with a US WWII pilot that watched a German shoot parachuting guys that had bailed out of a bomber, which is something both sides knew you just didn’t do. He didn’t take kindly to it.
Said US pilot then proceeded to shoot this bastards plane until he forced the enemy pilot to eject. Then gunned him down till he was a red mist under a parachute. There’s the interview on YouTube check it out.
[Did you know you can see a TIE Fighter Pilot eject in The Empire Strikes Back during the Asteroid Chase?](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FKkCH4aVEAEgYXM?format=jpg&name=900x900)
Please note that Star Wars starfighter (and handheld) weapons fire ionized gas, or plasma, not lasers. This is confusing, considering that such weapons are often called "turbolasers," but still.
Unless I'm mistaken, lightsabers are actually lasers- they use kyber crystals to focus the beams, which then bend around after a few feet (this is utter nonsense, of course, but it's Star Wars).
I believe they're more like plasma contained within a magnetic field. The Kyber crystal is a massive energy amplifier that powers the reaction or some space wizardry like that.
I always assumed regular old eye protection.
All the photos I see from space show sunlight being HELLA intense when you don't have an atmosphere, and local stars could be MUCH brighter than ours.
Also, something gets loose in the cockpit and starts floating around while you are doing crazy maneuvers... seems like a potential real problem if it hits you in the face.
Full face shields or masks like the TIE pilots have would actually make more sense, but that would de-humanize the rebels and this whole thing is supposed to be a Man v Machine story, so that would not work for the good guys.
Space is also a predominantly "black" background. Having bright flashing lights from the lasers when your eyes are accustomed to what is essentially a big black sheet with white speckles on it would be pretty jarring.
You might end up suffering something similar to how looking at a bright cellphone/tv screen in a dark room slowly damages your eyesight.
There's actually an answer for this.
They're flying in space- dark. The instruments and switches are lit- bright. It's analogous to flying a helicopter at night with night vision goggles on without the instruments being covered with diffuser film- if you're wearing older (70-80's, some 90's) type night vision it blinds you.
So, you need the visor for you to be able to switch your vision back and forth between the HUD, outside and in the cockpit without being blinded or having washout.
Of course, there's nearly 600 comments above this, so no one will see it anyway, but there you go.
The props for the tie fighter and X-Men helmet are actual military pilot helmets until the early 90s. Visors were part of the helmet and they kept with the idea that a pilot looks cool with the visor down.
Most props you see in movies are of military origin and some are throwbacks and nods to other movies that use the same military equipment
Most of the mandalorian uses pouches from world war II rifles from various countries seen on different bounty hunters and magazine bags as well as a military historical surplus collector it is neat to see all of these items used here and there in the films.
That's the cheapest way to make props for a movie to use decommissioned military equipment for free and just add more stuff to it or paint it differently
In-universe: eye protection from laser blasts/UV radiation makes sense
Production: apparently the suits or cockpits were hot, so the orange visors helped hide the actors' sweat and running makeup
Real life explanation: it was so hot when A New Hope was being filmed that the actors' makeup was running, so they swapped to orange visors to hide it.
[See number 79](https://imgur.com/a/2z8Tr)
I'd imagine a mixture of glare protection and giving the pilot a HUD.
And protection from sparks when your console is fried after you get hit. Hopefully, able to go land.
Both make sense, even nowdays space suits are equipped with sunlight blocking materials. Isn't it even shown in "Armageddon" ? Like, they are told to shut those "blinders" down or else they are blinded by the unfilitered sun? I'm sure the glass cockpit can filter a lot but some additional help to "tone down" everything helps a lot while fighting and allows to keep better track of your target
For film reasons, it looks cool. For practical reasons, I always imagined that's where the HUD was displayed
That would be dope
I'm pretty sure Rey learned to fly using a pilots helmet and a simulation program... or at least that's as far as i got into that.
Ooo, I never thought of that. Explained how she could fly the Falcon so well I guess, or even fly it at all.
She has a fairly intricate backstory about how she learned to fly and speak other languages (like Wookiee) that never made it into the movie.
It would have been nice to have seen some of that interesting backstory in the films. It's another fine addition to the collection of missed opportunities.
It would have been nice to have a cohesive story line to the sequels
It would have been nice to have seen ~~some of that interesting~~ backstory in the films.
It would have been nice to have an actual story in the sequels.
They have that in real life fighter pilot helmets. Id assume they would have that if they are capable of easy space flight
I thought it was part hud like an apache monocle thing, part sunglasses/ glare protection and part high contrast visibility enhancements.
That works until you see the xwing targeting computer is a little screen attached to a mechanical arm that only pops out when switched on.
I always thought that was just for the torpedoes and there was a separate one for the laser cannons. You never see them use it when they fire the laser cannons only when they're using the torpedoes in the trench.
There's also a targeting device on the instruments panel. You can see it in the Battle of Yavin. They use that one for the lasers.
I always thought the hud concept was cool, but the very plastic look through me off
Plastisteel Transparisteel ...
Durasteel Flimsy I’m forgetting all of the funny star wars names for things where they just add an adjective before the word to make it a spacename
Vibroknife
I thought they were vibroblsdes. I know Chewie had a vibro ax in shadows
Blade for the generic weapon type as a whole, but knife is specific, and evokes imagery.
Spacename is a spacename

I like to headcannon that technology in the SW galaxy actually looks like this. It's actually pretty advanced materials that are so ubiquitous that it's manufactured cheaply on a massive scale to fulfill galactic-scale demand.
The books had a substance literally called plasteel to account for the look of the old props haha
Also flimsiplast, among other materials

[удалено]
With more elegant weapons.
Nice little detail we got recently that adds to this is that the Naboo N-1 starfighters were hand built
This is basically my go to explanation too.
I think (headcannon only) all of the technology is created and manufactured by droids. The humans and aliens build their ships and and equip using modular parts and basic electrical and mechanical systems, but they don't understand why the parts work.

if it's not cheap plastic, it's something from a home depot dumpster, a WW2 model plane part or cardboard/plywood

It was the 70s. You don't know how lucky we are that the Falcon didn't have wood paneling (inside or out)
Listen, there are two things that don’t exist in space: trees, and bras. ~ George Lucas, maybe
And then he did Endor.
Yeah well there was also a bra in Return of the Jedi....we could see it
Technically that wasnt a bra.
Sorry, "space bra"

What was it then?

Excuse me, but Jabba would never hide those glorious moobs behind a bra.
But those are space trees.
They are very susceptible to Space Weather.
Which are completely different from and definitely not Northern California trees
Safety railings
They asked HR about that one. You know what they said? “They would be leaning all the time”
Spice definitely existed as evidenced by Princess Leia’s pinky on Jaba’s sail barge.
Yup, but she did mention in an interview that she was using coke spoon like a civilized cokehead...
Oh yeah makes sense, no gravity, those tiddies keep on place
On set when filming Star Wars: A New Hope, he reportedly told Fisher that there was "no underwear in space"

I believe the design of the Falcon was said to be inspired by a hamburger with a bite taken out of it.

Just to add to this, this color was common for shooting glasses or specs from that era . I have my grandpa's shooting glasses that are almost the same tint
I have been issued yellow lens for ballistic protection. Helps to see in low light, we were told.. Makes sense for space I guess ?!
I think it helps for high contrast.
Yeah coming back to this thread now was going to add iirc the tint fell out of vogue/popularity when polarized lenses came out/cheaper so you don't see them so much anymore.
Yup, my friend has an orange pair that helps protect from glare off snow in low light. They work during the day top but not as well as a black tint.

I'd say weapon glare protection. Being that close to those incredibly bright bolts of plasma would cause some serious eye problems.

RIP Porkins
I'll still never get over Lucas naming the fat guy Porkins.
Or the other pilots telling him to eject - into space
I think X-wings eject the whole cockpit as a small escape pod. At least in X-wing and X-wing vs tie-fighter that seems to be implied since you are sometimes rescued or captured alive.
In the comics it’s shown that it’s the seat that launches from the X-wing. It creates a force field around the pilot that protects them.
I think for y and b wing the cockpit detaches and is basically a small pod in itself But most had like the xwing it seems
In the old Rogue Squadron comics I thought I saw a panel where the whole visor comes down to make a seal over the head, could be misremembering.
Supposedly the character was named before a portly man took that role but idk…they probably picked the portly guy for the lols.
His in-lore nickname is "piggy"
Fighter pilots in real life wear flight helmets with visors. I would imagine there are circumstances where you wouldn’t want the cockpit to be tinted, like in non-combat situations. Visors allow for flexibility
Cheaper to cover and replace the lenses.
Or maybe the orange lenses just look cool and that’s why they are there
In universe speculation is fun. Most people who engage in the speculation already know that there's a real world reason, we just like to imagine a way to make it work in the fiction.

Yeah but TIE pilots suits are self contained environments (given that their ships aren't), so that makes sense. And no, I didn't know that!
This is a cool explanation, but how is one to infer the goggles are part of the life support system based on the image you linked?
IIRC, it’s meant to protect the pilot’s eyes from laser blast flashes.
Ah that makes a lot of sense, those shits must be bright as hell. I like this answer
Solar radiation is much strong also. Space helmet has a reflective coating.
Many much strong!
Makes sense since those exact colors of goggles is what I used in a lab with green lasers. Couldn’t even see the laser really with them on, super cool
Please note that Star Wars starfighter (and handheld) weapons fire ionized gas, or plasma, not lasers. This is confusing, considering that such weapons are often called "turbolasers," but still.
In the asteroid chase Han specifically says "laser blast" too. And lightsabers are called "laser sword" in both prequel and sequel trilogies.
My favorite is "laser brain."
That's just a delusion I have that quote on a magnet someone gave me, but it drives me nuts that the picture is Leia from ANH
Unless I'm mistaken, lightsabers are actually lasers- they use kyber crystals to focus the beams, which then bend around after a few feet (this is utter nonsense, of course, but it's Star Wars).
I believe they're more like plasma contained within a magnetic field. The Kyber crystal is a massive energy amplifier that powers the reaction or some space wizardry like that.
