Ibelieve that the coupe is indeed 50 to 70 pounds lighter.

 

I stand corrected, but it should have been at least 200 pounds lighter

 

+1.

 

Me too. I was a kid through the first trilogy, and it was everything. I dropped off for 20 years during the horrible CGI alterations, etc. I get the hype of relaunching the new ones for younger audiences, etc.... I guess I've grown past it, but the cool factor of all the brilliant design by Tippett and McQuarrie, etc.... it's just brilliant it had this much impact. SW lore is one of the only things that can rouse my college buddies from the daily grind of parenting and work.

The analogy of headlights and eyes is really counterintuitive if you think about it.

When making the robotic mechanical connection between systems and the human body, "eyes" should be referenced with video cameras and objects that input sight information, just as microphones replicate the human ear as the input of aural data.

A headlight expels light which has no connection as to what an eye does for the body. Hence, if the headlight function was replaced with video cameras to allow the input of data to say the infotainment system for processing.....

We get good stuff here in Cali.
