Heres one for you. Indiana Jones was irrelevant to what happened in Raiders of the Lost Arc. As told by Amy in Big Bang theory.
She then confesses her appreciation of the film, aside from the “glaring story problem” that “Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren't in the film, it would turn out exactly the same... If he weren't in the movie, the Nazis would still have found the Arks, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died, just like they did.”
> And was the principle protagonists ( and antagonists) Of episode 4 made aware of this invention?
If it were possible at all in the story world, the story world would have a completely different shape to it. No amount of suspension of disbelief can explain why, if hyperspeed weaponization is possible at all, that the eons of hyperdrive spacefarers prior had never tried it. It’s so stupid it’s absolutely impossible to suspend disbelief.
Amy missed the fact that Indy found the Arc in the first place. Right where the Nazi's missed it.

The trope subversion in this case was part of what made the film such a standout production. He doesn’t have to be relevant to how the larger story unfolds; he just has to be at the locations where the story is told. The story itself is compelling enough on its own without needing the protagonist to affect it; and that the protagonist can’t affect it, for all his efforts, builds towards the sense of divine power and inevitability that is personified (objectified) by the Ark itself. So rather than a conflict or a reason not to suspend disbelief, this use of the protagonist as basically a roving camera to the story locations works quite coherently with the overall theme of the movie.
Contrast to introducing hyperdrive weapons to SW. All of a sudden, everything else that has happened in the entire series is subject to the question of why hyperdrive weapons aren’t being utilized, and why their existence hasn’t shaped the battlefield.
Amy was wrong also. If Jones hadn’t blown up the plane, the ark would have gone to Germany, not, to an island in the Aegean Sea.
Hitler might have died had Jones not stolen the ark.
The Sub ride to the island was AFTER the fact of Jones intervention.
Take that Amy Farrah Fowler
