Wait, what?

Common fan belief is that it's the Rishi Maze, an irregular dwarf galaxy very close to the galactic rim, but Leland Chee shat on that idea.

I was a massive star wars fag in the ninties and I vaguely recall once hearing that that rendezvous point was located randomly up above the galactic disc, basically a place in deep space you could get to through hyperspace if you knew where it was

cute

actually it's just a pace mat painting you incels

it was spinning so it has to be a neutron star gobbling up some local stars

it doesn't have to be gobbling up stars if it's spinning, it's just accruing mass from the nebula. I think. It's been a while since I took earth science.

>Common fan belief is that it's the Rishi Maze, an irregular dwarf galaxy very close to the galactic rim, but Leland Chee shat on that idea.
The old canon says that IS the Star Wars galaxy, but I'm not so sure on that one given how the Falcon seems to dominate the image, but ok.

I don't think you realize how bright and massive even small galaxies are compared. But I'll accept the handwaving because it's star wars.

So the rebellion ran away like a bunch of pussies? left the galaxy? Isn't that cheating.

>lets try to make sense of this fictional stories use of some filler art because we need to justify our child space fantasy as some kind of big boy sci fi
Star Wars fags are the worst. Just face up to the fact that you enjoy a space fantasy franchise that has nothing to do with the more adult genre that is sci fi.

I never thought I'd miss the regular retardation of the EU to the "fed paint chips on purpose" new wars

why didnt the rebels just move out, outside of the empire range. were they stupid or what lol

>Starkiller base now makes more sense.

Why not just move to another galaxy? Its obvious the Empire wants that one.

And yet Rogue One is still the best of the new Star Wars movies.

I'd have liked to see the I Rebel cut too.

>And yet Solo is still the best of the new Star Wars movies.
FTFY

>I'd have liked to see the I Rebel cut too.
Me too.

A star in the process of being formed? You can see stars from their galaxy around them, so it can't be the Star Wars galaxy and the gigantic bright light in the middle would fit with a galaxy anyways.

Can someone do the math on how far they are from the galaxy in that shot?

Looks to me like they're about 20-30 galaxy lengths away just chilling in deep space taking a break.

I mean if they fired one ship-sized blaster shot right then and there they could hit the entire galaxy at once and end it all.

>>And yet Solo is still the best of the new Star Wars movies.

You're not the only one, it was fun, exciting, and while a bit formulaic, it never got boring, plus it had a nice twist near the end. Tons of SW references for fans too.

Most of the EU was stupid but a lot of it was campy stupid and appreciable in a way. New Star Wars is just stupid.

The guy playing Han couldn't act. He never once acted like Han, not even a young Han that hadn't quite got there yet. The movie was also boring, and had severe issues that nu-wars has like "Hey stuff from the 5th element's costume design will fit in star wars right? Right?" And other nonsense like that.

Rogue One on the other hand starts draggy and slow (and its characters never stop being one note/bland, but in the context of nu-wars bland is better that retard on steroids), but there is a set and definite point where it throws out all the nonsense and become an all cylinders firing Star Wars film from that moment until the end which NONE of the other nu-wars movies have.

It surprised me and I was sorry I missed out on the big screen experience, but RO and TLJ had burned me hard.

Could be a regional globular cluster, there's that.

>Rogue One on the other hand starts draggy and slow (
and stays that way and have some cringey Jason Voorhees-Vader at the end to whack off to.

I don't understand why anyone thinks it shouldn't be the Star Wars galaxy. Galactic halos are always several times the diameter of a galaxy proper, and the galactic halo would be an ideal boondocks place to hide a Rebel med facility.
Is the problem just that people think it would take too long to travel to? I thought Star Wars operated on "hyperlanes" style FTL, where the real-space distance between two points is not strongly correlated with the hyperspace travel time

Or maybe I've just been playing too much Stellaris

I hated Rogue One until the Vader scene in the last 5 minutes, then the film became a net "OK"
I liked Solo until the Maul scene in the last 5 minutes, then the film became a net "Go fuck yourself"

I think the problem is that the "galaxy" just looks a tad small in the shot for it to be taken seriously as such, but I'm not complaining about the look in the film, just explaining how the lore there is on shaky ground. Never once as a kid did I consider that "the SW galaxy", it was just another cool area in their galaxy, but whatever works.

The second they escape the rebel base in their stolen ship that movie goes full star wars, and sheds all the draggy elements. It's stupid fun star wars from that moment until the credits roll.

Odd, the Vader scene at the end was embarassing and out of character for him and the Rebels, but each to their own.

>I liked Solo until the Maul scene in the last 5 minutes, then the film became a net "Go fuck yourself
Funny, it just doesn't bother me. I accept it and bring him back for Solo 2 and give Obi-Wan a proper second round after all this time.

It was a film you could barely see anything starring an actor that couldn't act, let alone come off as a young han solo alongside the queen of dragons WHO HAS NEVER been able to act and a surrounding cast who are honestly trying but can't save that script, that writing or the terrible fucking direction.

ahem.

fuck star wars and fuck jannies.

When it's really late I start browsing /x/ but then I start seeing shit moving in my peripherals and hearing footsteps where none should be. back to Yea Forums we go boyos

>It's stupid fun star wars from that moment until the credits roll.
No, Disney, stop lying. Nihilism Wars sucked.

>It was a film you could barely see anything
They must have fixed that for the Blu-Ray.

But there was none of that in there. It was just heroes (who admittedly needed more layers) raiding an Imperial base for plans. Classic star wars. And it ends in the best way possible, the bland characters all dying, and the plans being handed off to characters we actually care about after a bunch of red shirts ran away screaming from Darth Vader like any sensible person under the sun would do if a telekinetic rage monster with an energy blade came after them.

>just another cool area in their galaxy
You were just a kid so fine, but with your Yea Forums-honed cinematography knowledge does it not now seems kind of odd that they would end the movie on "random shot of some random protostar" as opposed to something with actual significance?

The Theatrical cut was extremely dark. No one knows why they thought it was a good idea.

The two main characters didn't need to die and neither did "Saw" (what a dumb name). It was a bastardized evil Star Wars experience.

I hate when films are too dark*, or where they all mumble no matter how loud the sound is and how good my hearing may be. Mumblecore can go fuck itself.

*It's also a big problem when spooky films are too bright.

They didn't need to die, but I was happy to see them die since they represent some of the issues with nu-wars characters, but this film, again, understood that. They handed them off to characters with actual life and hope. In that way it's the most hopeful of all the nu-wars films, because it's handing off the plans to people who aren't nu-wars characters.

>ran away screaming from Darth Vader
They were nothing like those stoic Rebel troopers in the originals and it doesn't fit. Fuck that retconning piece of shit.

Intergalactic space is several orders of magnitude larger than interstellar, making even FTL travel too slow.
Also for a better in-universe answer, no charted hyperlanes

>They didn't need to die, but I was happy to see them die...in this alleged kid's movie
>it's not nihilism!

kek

He totally fucked his sister. That fucking hook beak jew from the new movies is for sure insest spawn which explains his total insanity and why skywalker secluded himself to MYST living almost exclusivly on giant lizard green titty milk as a form of self inflicted punishment.

What is the problem with this? We watch such things everyday with telescopes...they are watching one at their window and are way closer to one becsuse they are on a space ship...so what is wrong with it?

OP doesn't know it's a proto-star

Is it possible they are just looking at another close by galaxy or am I retarded?

Those stoic Rebel troopers didn't face Vader directly. Standing up and dying to a stormtrooper blitz isn't the same thing.

>Those stoic Rebel troopers didn't face Vader directly
Right, the notion that Vader would take on multiple troops alone is ludicrous.

>They were nothing like those stoic Rebel troopers in the originals and it doesn't fit. Fuck that retconning piece of shit.
Maybe they had time to be briefed, plus Vader didn't lead the assault at the beginning of IV. Dickhead.

>Maybe they had time to be briefed,
Sure, like a video game, even though he would have been well known throughout the galaxy.

>plus Vader didn't lead the assault at the beginning of IV. Dickhead.
You child. Of course he didn't lead the assault, which makes his actions in RO insane.

...

>You child. Of course he didn't lead the assault, which makes his actions in RO insane.
A commander doesna always take the lead, trannie bottom.

The way the rebels had to run away and hide, and the way the main characters all look at it, and the way the Falcon flies towards it, it was clearly intended to be the Star Wars galaxy. My biggest problem with this scene is that you can see the spiral moving around the centre in real time. No matter how magical physics might be in Star Wars, that took me completely out of the illusion.

>The way the rebels had to run away and hide, and the way the main characters all look at it, and the way the Falcon flies towards it,
>if you add it all up, it's clear
>clearly

What? It's clearly a protoplanetary disc, you can see one of the planetoids one its far end.
>the way the Falcon flies towards it
You mean around it and off into the upper left corner? Lando is clearly taking the long way around then.

It's a new star to symbolize that the characters still have hope.

Also, they gave Luke and Leia very similar clothing to what they wore in the first movie. I am not sure what the significance of that is though.

DAMN YOU, NELSON MANDELA!!!
DAMN YYYOOOUUUUUU!!!

A supermassive black hole does not look like a 3 dimensional bright massive ball you retards

Yes it does. Just look at the picture.

Nobody can define what a galaxy is when you think about it

What about when I'm not thinking about it?

yep I agree, galaxies don't really exist

>so youre a smuggler who doesnt beleive in the rebellion, got involved helping some kid just for a pile of cash to pay back a criminal? Sweet, want to be a general? Your negro buddy can be a general too.

Lets make everyone generals, boys.

Always came off as the heroes looking at the Star Wars galaxy, but it always seemed to small so ignored the likely intent. I thought it was one of those smaller galaxies we see on the episode 2 galaxy map

Retard it was obviously meant to be a reflective scene where they look down on the galaxy, within which all their struggles are taking place, from the vantage point of a rebel base high above the disc, hiding in the galactic halo.

>"lol space and shit, no one gets it and this shot would look cool to audiences pre-internet."

mad kekz dawg

they are not outside of the galaxy

It looked just fine in Imax, but the 2D and 3D showings I saw on regular screens were super dark.

I love Yub Nub ending.
