Kathleen Kennedy faught for Abrams to direct the first movie, and then fell out with him. Then she faught for Johnson to do the rest. Abrams wanted to make entertainment, but isn't very good at it. Johnson didn't care about entertainment, he wanted to make 'art'.
I'm not even going to go into what happened with Treverrow, and Lord & Miller.
Disney's Star Wars has been mismanaged since the start. It is only now finding its feet again with the arrival of Disney +, and that is too little too late.
Jon Favreau ASKED for these movies. I cannot imagine why they didn't give them to him, or I can, and it doesn't speak to anything good.
Juan Powell
>"Death Star Destroyers" which appear to be exactly what they sound like. Star Destroyers with Death Star tech mounted on them, giving them the capability to destroy a planet.
as far as i remember, humans pilot these things. quite obviously maintaining this formation is a lot less mentally taxing than some 3d shit where you have ships above and below you. not to mention the profitability of starting a cascading chain of unavoidable crashes is about 1000x higher in a 3d formation. 'nowhere to go' without another ship there to hit
Joseph Ross
fyi these things have little peckers on them now, slung below like dogs dicks red tip and all
It's almost like there's on reason for a hundred of these ships to be so close together in the first place. Also, what are navigation computers
Chase Kelly
They're sitting in dry dock waiting to be found and piloted
Ryder Miller
If they are flying them this close they aren't doing it manually, you would want to be further apart in ships that big, not to mention if they were using them to attack only the front row could attack unless they are dropping bombs.

you are implying nuWars has political backdrop and plotline it doesn't it's literally just rehashing the stories, characters and even visuals of the original trilogy I wonder if ep 9 can top ep 8 in terms of being utterly stupid

Everything about the sequel trilogy is so hilariously misguided and fumbled that it feels like a concerted effort to destroy the reputation of Star Wars. The movies are literally 0/10s.

Rogue One surviving Disney's mandatory reshoots is a testament to how good the original cut is.

Daily reminder: Having the story be about continuing pro-imperial sentiment in the galaxy was too smart for Disney, so they made it about white supremacists. Daily reminder: Having Rey and other guy I can't remember the name of anymore unite and moderate the First Order was too smart for Disney, so boring guy is now the main baddie and does evil because he's a white male and shut up goy. Daily reminder: No matter how many times the bad guys lose in NuWars they'll have infinite of everything somehow because a slow rise to power over decades, ie: Palpatine, is too smart for Disney. Daily reminder: The "Battle of Jakku" is pointless canon bullshit to cover for the fact JJ wanted visuals of Star Destroyers crashed in the desert, since the imperials still exist and have fleets of shit everywhere apparently.

I remember Yea Forums shitting on Rogue One so hard when it came out, when it was legitimately the only new movie that felt like Star Wars. The forced diversity shit was utterly pointless, it should have been a maximum of four characters. But other than that, it was pretty coherent and entertaining. It felt like it was scripted and shot by adults, which is exactly what NuWars doesn't feel like.
It also helps that the original script for Rogue One was penned back in the late 80s I think.

none of this stuff is really relevant given what actually happened which is they wanted to do a remake, but in universe so they had to just say, 'snap, the old movie's initial conditions is back again'. the same events needed to play out with the same premise.

Anthony Diaz
>blowing up Alderaan was justified since it's like blowing up a hut to in Tatoiine to combat sand people Alderaan wasn't destroyed to combat rebels. It was blown up to pressure Leia and because it was a convenient way to demonstrate the power of the death star.

no, they would just look like an eye-straining mess since you can't see depth and it's just going to be all on top of itself. i don't know what you're thinking of but for a human to make sense of it it needs to actually be 2D like this which is just a vertical plane it would look disgusting if there was another plane behind that one
like this i mean. there's front view of some star wars ships somewhere where they are above and beside each other but you'll find they're all at the same distance, just another plane
Do you think they ever noticed the irony in having a character say that in a movie that is 100% a remake of the 4 decade old original?

It is not about making sense or not. After this scene you can ask in every single space battle "Why don't they just hyperspace?". You don't even need ships at this point just put everything needed to hyperspace in a remote controlled ship an launch it at the enemy.
Ryder Brooks
Just wondering: Would the whole hyperspace thing make more sense if they would have shown Holdo somehow deactivating the hyperspace navigation computer?
And how the fuck would Han go into hyperspace through fucking doors? Nothing makes sense
Lincoln Harris
In universe, because hyperspace in Star Wars was never about "going really fast" like Rian thought. It has always meant slipping into a shortcut corridor through space, like folding a piece of paper to touch itself. Out of the movie, it's fucking stupid because that one tactic invalidates every single other military tactic, and showing that it is possible raises the question of why we have never seen it before.
Samuel Torres
Because without an overwhelming force to conquer, the story of plucky underdogs winning through hope and love loses all of its meaning and worth to a lesson-learning audience.
Same reasons Nazi's still rule the world after three Wolfenstein games. If you have no one oppressing you, you can't become The Hero We Need Right Now.

>Would the whole hyperspace thing make more sense if they would have shown Holdo somehow deactivating the hyperspace navigation computer? Not really, for reasons that have already been explained. One, it's literally not possible to weaponize hyperspace (or at least it wasn't before this movie), and two, that doesn't address the plot hole of why every space battle isn't fought this way. >how the fuck would Han go into hyperspace through fucking doors You mean the hangar in 7? That's actually fine, what wasn't fine was him arriving inside a planet's atmosphere. Hyperspace isn't supposed to work t0/from a gravity well, like a planet. JJ fucked up too, but not nearly as bad as Rian.
Jace Evans
Star System maybe
Alexander Torres
it doesn't make sense in the way starwars portrays it because the ship slips into another dimension to take a shortcut from point a to b, the ship isn't moving any faster than it normally would, even if the starwars universe was using tech that allowed ships to move faster than light they'd have to convert the ships into a state of no mass so it wouldn't interact with the physical universe anyway so the use of it in kinetic warfare also doesn't work
Ayden Stewart
This. Just have protocol droids pilot ships and chaos dunk them from across the galaxy. Thanks Rian Johnson.
Daniel Rogers
i realise that but it still makes sense im not saying the scene is right. A ship going really fast in one direction will crash into whatever it hits. Its pretty standard scifi ship stuff. "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova, and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?" ―Han Solo, to Luke Skywalker[src]
No it wasnt it was going really fast to get into hyperspace and travel over a shorter time.

>it was going really fast to get into hyperspace It literally wasn't. Read some more lore material if you want a full explanation.

It does make no sense because hyperspace isn't "Going really fast". Hyperspace is basically warping. The Han Solo quote means that if you exit hyperspace you can land in an unfortunate spot.
Hunter Richardson
Labor droids and mining of iron asteroids could crank out capital ships like crazy.

>STAR WARS IS FUCKING DEAD no shit, it died in 1997
Levi Richardson
Material, manpower, training, money and resources just get replenished at will. Defeat 90% of the enemy force and because the writers want it to be this way this 90% will get replenished while your losses won't. It happens because the writers want it to happen. This is why you never hear exact numbers because if a faction loses 50% of its assets in a single battle everyone would wonder why they are back at full strength in the next.
Leo Carter
read what i said. It isnt folding space time. Its literally go fast to get into a dimension of faster travel.

The eagles actually have an explanation but the movies don't explain it well enough. The eagles don't want to get involved in conflicts and the ring could have corrupted them. Frodo and Faramir were the only ones who could have carried the ring to Mordor.
Jonathan Murphy

Liam Torres
Well, to be fair Star Wars takes place a long time before WWII, their tactics were primitive.
Anthony Myers
In the books he is described as having a pure heart so the ring would have no effect on him. Faramir was actually a better candidate for carrying the ring than Frodo. Unfortunately Boromir got sent to the Fellowship instead and simply looking at the ring corrupted him.
Brody Adams
Solo?
Ethan Ward
I am sure there is also an explanation in some EU book/comic/whatever for hyperspace ramming if you search long enough. It still feels silly and weird as they're many ways working around the corruption thing, in particular, as they're already shown to transport them a huge distance. Also the no involvement in conflict policy seems retarded as mordor winning would at some point doom them as well.

thats the reason why the first order is basically empire 2.0 it doesnt explain the inconsequential nature of all the combat in the Sequels. There are no stakes if the enemy can never suffer serious defeat. Even the lame "just build a second death star" plot in the OT justifies itself by saying that it took the empire 3-5 years to build the new one, and it wasnt even finished
Joshua Torres
its a more dressed up diner meal
for example the "Fried Endorian Tip-Yip" is just a fried chicken tendie on mashed potato
Nice for you, but nobody cares about EU lore explanations in particular not in SW. It's idiotic to expect that obvious plot holes are ok if they're hamfisted ( 'fixed' ) with some retarded 'explanation' in some obscure EU reference/book/head canon. That said, I care too little to argue either about SW or LOTR so be happy with your headcanon.
Caleb Ortiz
It makes sense in LOTR. Sauron's Eye is gonna see giant, heaven sent eagles coming in and landing near Mt. Doom with a bunch of people on them and put two and two together that they have the ring and are going to destroy it. He would have sent legions into the mountain to stop them and they would have failed to destroy the ring and keep it away from Sauron. Gathering an army to hold off his armies was straight up a distraction to keep Sauron focused on the war effort and not the ring.
James Reed
This. If you never display proper numbers you can pull them out of thin air. Just like most of the Dothraki getting wiped out at Winterfell and somehow half of them are alive and able to fight in the next episode. Just like Stannis losing over 80% of his forces just because a few thousand died at King's Landing.
Christian Jackson

>Also the no involvement in conflict policy seems retarded as mordor winning would at some point doom them as well. The "non involvement policy" comes from the god that they are affiliated with. Said God can't interfere with the ring war, and neither can his "underlings", therefore, the eagles can't do anything.
Cameron Lewis
Oh well.
Evan Williams
because gravity wells (including stars) pull you out of hyperspace brainlet. so if you fly through or close enough to a star you drop out of hyperspace and die. you could argue that our theories are a convenient retcon but this is the only way hyperspace makes sense in universe pre-TLJ.
James Nelson
its not steamed its 'chilled shrimp', aka precooked packaged shrimp/prawn that they defrosted.
Carter Gray
The starforge
Andrew Rodriguez
His pure heart allowed him to reject carrying the ring because he knew its power was beyond him (ie it would corrupt him) aktshually
Christopher Cruz
user also forgot to mention that the Eagles would be spotted once they crossed into Morder if not earlier, and then Sauron would have increased his defence of Mount Doom.
Ryan Rogers
Eve online
Jordan Russell
You obviously don't know what headcanon is, if you use it on official lore, dipshit.
Liam Nelson
I’m saying you’re incorrect about there being an explanation in the EU as well as about there being *no* explanation for the Eagles.
The way LotR handles the One Ring is self-consistent even if you’ve never read the books. Gollum was in possession of the Ring for hundreds of years for him to reach the state we see him in by the time of the story. Frodo was already succumbing to its influence over the course of a few weeks/months. The difference was due to a combination of Sauron fully manifesting again in Mordor as well as Frodo taking it closer and closer to him, this increasing the power of its/his will.
Eli Fisher
>sales tax to be added So, what was Sheev's tax policy?
Blake Jones
1. Gather all the eagles. 2. Put Gandalf Frodo and maybe Legolas on one eagle and let the rest follow in a large distance. 3. The ring does not appear to be able to corrupt anybody out of reach, so if the first eagle gets corrupted just drop it when early signs of corruption show up. Switch to eagle no 2. Repeat 2.-3. until you're in mordor. Possibly, but the way everything worked out at the end with sauron conveniently sending his entire army away from the tower with the lava pit relied also on a tremendous amount of luck and stupidity (cough deus ex cough). So taking advantage of the eagles a bit more wouldn't be a bad idea. If you're concerned about sauron just drop them a bit earlier if walking is stealthier than flying.
John Baker
Not just in Star Wars, but literally dozens, if not hundreds of sci-fi stories.
Jacob Sullivan
It's also just boring since they look like regular star destroyers. Also the Eclipse couldn't destroy planets.
Liam Perry
This. I would laugh so fucking hard if this happened.
Also for all you "muh borken heart" brainlets, this scene very obviously shows that Vader drained Padme to survive.
Bentley Jones
30 years is a long time to stockpile stuff around. also those look like old imperial star destroyers with huge belly cannons fitted on them, so probably they hi them when the empire fell and slowly refitted them, ez.
Christian Smith
Those “eagles” are lesser Maiar. If one shows “early signs” of corruption, you’re too late.
Ryan Rivera
>just drop it when early signs of corruption show up Remember that Boromir just looked at it once and he got corrupted. You can not pass the ring around like a hot potato which is the reason Frodo didn't give Sam the ring when he asked for it. Mordor would also assemble its forces around Mount Doom because the eagles would get spotted from a huge distance. Have fun dealing with Nazguls, 100000 archers and catapults.
Sebastian Cox

Yeah, I bet Sauron won't spot several dozen or so giant, divine eagles (who just happen to be his enemies) forming a huge swarm and making a bee-line towards Mt. Doom. And given that the Ring can corrupt beings immediately, I can't imagine anything going wrong. Galadriel and Gandalf were *afraid* to touch the Ring, since it would have corrupted them pretty much on the spot. Hell, Galadriel got almost currupted just looking at the damned thing. And again: The eagles aren't allowed to interfere. Picking up Gandalf at Isengard and picking up the Hobbits once they were done was the full extend of what they even could do.

Disney is getting pretty lazy if they have to reuse the CGI model from Rogue One instead of making a proper superlaser carrying destroyer.
This. Only Rogue One looked good, and even then that's because the space battle at the end was supposedly trying to capture the OT battle look. TFA and TLJ looked like dogshit, especially TFA. That film looked Avengers levels of bad with their tv budget look. Not to mention the awful dutch angle and tracking shot of Kylo Ren's entrance on Takodana, and the helicopter shot at the end of the film. I mean, holy shit. I've seen tons of drone footages of that same island in Ireland that looked 100% better on YouTube and Facebook.
It pains me to say it but I want to be her pusyslave

Just face it that the movies handled that bit very bad, dunno about the books also don't care that much as LOTR isnt that interesting to me. >Eagles arent allowed to interfere because of muh gods But they already did, duh. So that argument falls into place a little bit too convenient (bad writing). >Eagles may be corrupted. Then why use them at all? Because Jackson wrote himself into a corner and needed a deux ex moment? Why didn't saruman see the eagles (enemies of mordor) coming from afar to save Gandalf but when they're used to fly them to mordor it's automatically given that sauron sees them? >Muh Sauron big army The alternative plot line relies in rotk as well on the stupidity of sauron. You would expect the 10000 orcs Nazguls and what not to show up as well when they go walking, in particular, as it is shown that sauron saw frodo heading for the tower/lava pit.

Humans barely fly airliners except on take off or landing and even landing can be done automatically. So you are saying a starship that can destroy planets cannot have autopilot?
Chase Green
>WHERE >DO >THEY >GET >MATERIALS >AND >THE >MONEY NuWars is written by people who don't like war movies (and have no concept of things like chain of command, supply lines, tactics, etc) and who have a deep disdain for blue-collar jobs like manufacturing (because those people vote Trump and eat red meat).
This is why in the Disney universe, soldiers just do what they like regardless of their orders (because hanging out with your friends and being "free" is better than doing the lame chores that your mom tells you to do), and why enormous feats of engineering and manufacturing just show up already packaged and ready to go whenever the plot requires it (because they like getting new iPhones but have no idea how the rare earth metals are mined or how much of an established base is required to produce a good).
tl;dr the new movies are made by people who have never had a labor-intensive job and have never lived outside of a major city, and feel that they should be given a living wage just for existing.
I think Sheeve manipulating the entire Galaxy so easily was pretty fucking stupid and lazy, but at least the Prequels didn't operate on the level of sheer anti-logic these Sequel movies depend on.

You can't convince me Yamato isn't gay. It's a goddamn boat in space. A fucking boat.

>I think Sheeve manipulating the entire Galaxy so easily It wasnt as ”easy” as u think If u check the lore of the prequels ull see that its pretty fucking kino Read
Austin Edwards

Nolan Sanchez
Can't argue with that. Rogue One felt like it actually tried to be Star Wars. The kino cinematography helped a ton. Those Death Star shots are amazing.
Gavin Jones
Disney made coca cola canon, what the fuck were you expecting?
Hudson Fisher
I would think by the design of the Star Destroyers, those have probably simply been parked in a far corner of the galaxy since he fall of the empire.
All the FO had to do is find them and equip them with that new canon.
Zachary Bell
George feels like Star Wars should always be pushing conventions or at least be trying something new. It's why he doesn't like the EP 7 retread but likes the EP 8 trashfire.

Jeremiah Miller
It sounds more like KK's stupid "organic" approach to Star Wars let JJ grandfather in the blandest galactic backstory of all time to set up his Rebels vs Empire photocopy scenario. KK is guilty of saying yes to that shit and Disney is guilty of putting her in charge.
Cooper Morris
And then gave him The Jungle Book and The Lion King? Yeah, no...
Jordan Davis
Nope, Faramir's pure heart meant he would not pick it up if he saw it on the side of the road, as per his own words. However, if it was thrust on him by the council, because of his natural contentedness, he would have been a great ring bearer on par with or exceeding Frodo. We see this time and time again in the book. How you take the ring, and how simple/humble you are has a huge affect on how or if it can get to you. Peter Jackson turned it into a weird mind control device. In addition to having adding general misanthropy that opposes the book. The only reason Faramir would fall short of Frodo is that he is too big a figure and too well known for a stealth mission. Also the real reason the eagles didn't fly the ring to Mordor is they would be spotted immediately and die before they even got close. Time was never an issue for the fellowship, and they even take month long breaks in the books. Stealth was key.
William Walker
And Lucas made Hoth Chocolate canon...
>Hoth chocolate was a variant of hot chocolate containing Tauntaun milk, and a number of different spices mixed with cocoa and boiling water. Hoth chocolate was associated with the Wookiee Life Day.
Chase Butler
That was a bullshit part of the movie. Setting the animals free and not the slaves. That's bullshit, plain and simple.
Ethan Campbell

>no concept of things like chain of command, supply lines, tactics, etc
sci-fi never really does. it's usually just "dude droids lmao" given that this is JJ, there may be a literal Mystery Box involved.
Based. Imagine being too autistic too see pottery even when it slaps you right in the face

Fuck you buddy, I'm blue collar and hate that rich faggot. If you're broke and support that richfag, youre a cuck. Clearly, somwonw who made money off of fucking over poor people from time to time isn't suddenly gonna change shit to help the poor.
Xavier Bailey
bread has a lot of carbs.
Sebastian Bennett
I feel pretty comfortable stating that a single man manipulating the entire galaxy with such perfection is retarded. I get that it's a political statement from George, but the truth is that it would have made a lot more sense for Palpatine to have been part of a faction (that he later purges to consolidate power) and only been taking advantage of larger events beyond his control, kind of like how every dictator rides into power.
John Lopez
>"Death Star Destroyers" which appear to be exactly what they sound like They sound like something that can destroy a death star. So, X-wings?
Lincoln Phillips
that is the least star-wars-looking shot i've ever seen
Jordan Ramirez
Yesss lad >It seems in your anger, you killed her fucking based, palpatine could forsee shit the dude's a powerful motherfucker
Jeremiah Johnson
They look like clones of one another. A Bernie gene, I guess. Ugly fuckers.
Tyler Bailey
this is just retarded power creep, a sign of truly juvenile writing Just keep ramping up the threat by a factor of 10 even though it makes no sense. Next it will be a GAJILLION death stars with the capability of destroying the entire galaxy Of course the entire threat is meaningless when we know the heroes are just going to deus ex machina them out of existence
Samuel Cooper
>Hyperspace Ram exists So why this will be a problem for "the resistance"? Just kamikaze x-wings into these and everything will be fine.
What? Prices are reasonable. Drinks are the same as Starbucks.
Alexander Nguyen
The republic doesent have political parties They have senators And sheev managed to do it thanks to not only orchestrating a war but also being a sith lord

>Johnson didn't care about entertainment, he wanted to make 'art'. the last Jedi was a good movie
Connor Morris
problem is there was never anything story wise to justify these movies existence. Even the prequels at least gave background to an existing story, the sequels had to create it's own reason to exist as the OT already had a conclusion. But JJ never did that, instead they just rehashed ANH for the nostalgia bucks (which all the normies took hook line and sinker) and left giving the sequels an actual reason to exist to RJ who promptly fucked it all up. Now they get JJ back to try and reel it back in, but it looks like it will just be more nostalgia pandering (palpatine, C3-PO) and the same "bigger is better" retarded mentality that gave us the star killer or whatever the fuck it was in TFA.
Owen Edwards
>first Death Star is under construction at the end of Episode III >first Death Star isn't fully operational until 20 years later when the Jedi are an ancient religion and nobody knows about the Force anymore >4 years later, second Death Star is mostly finished, is fully operational, and even bigger
There's so many layers of pottery. Palpatine gave Padme the necklace that's prominently displayed. Vader being entombed in the suit as Padme is cremated.
>I felt her, she was alive >that sly chuckle from Palpatine Vader killed her through their strong bond and Palpatine knew that was the secret to extending YOUR OWN life. That's why he shanked Plageuis in his sleep, he was so beneath him as to not even be an obstacle to be dominated.
Henry Gray
You never see the back of the second death star
Mason Hill
So when do they find earth?
Oliver Sanchez
you're a stupid faggot for thinking TLJ is anything approaching decent literally EVERYTHING about it is fucking awful it legitimately might be the BIGGEST fuckup in movie history
Same reason airplanes do, honestly this is the least retarded part
Blake Bailey
they probably learned a shit ton during the building phase of the 1st one that making a 2nd, even if it was larger, was much more efficient - it's like a REALLY big car, first cars took 12 hours to assemble and the assembly line dropped it to 2 1/2 according to google
Power grab yes, illegal no. The senate voted for it. The will of the people chose a dictator. Just like Caesar in rome
Hunter Lewis
I'll just go back to playing swtor.
Benjamin Jackson
>Eagles arent allowed to interfere because of muh gods >But they already did, duh. So that argument falls into place a little bit too convenient (bad writing).
These eagles are pretty much akin to angels and strongly affiliated with the a certain god of that setting. The reason that this god (and his "angels") can'ti interfere is the fucking reason why Sauron exists in the first place.
>Eagles may be corrupted. >Then why use them at all? Because Jackson wrote himself into a corner and needed a deux ex moment? Why didn't saruman see the eagles (enemies of mordor) coming from afar to save Gandalf but when they're used to fly them to mordor it's automatically given that sauron sees them?
The eagles did Jack shit during the Ring war. They never carried Frodo while he was also carrying the ring. If you don't even know that, what point is there in you arguing any lore of LOTR? They helped Gandalf escape, but they didn't help in the Ring War itself. And they only helped Gandalf rescuing the Hobbits after the Ring War was over... and they only did it, cause Gandalf himself is a millenia old demigod of that setting.
>Muh Sauron big army >The alternative plot line relies in rotk as well on the stupidity of sauron. You would expect the 10000 orcs Nazguls and what not to show up as well when they go walking, in particular, as it is shown that sauron saw frodo heading for the tower/lava pit.
It relies on Sauron himself being so obsessed with his ring that he'd never assume at all that anyone could actually try to destroy the ring instead of using it to rule the world.
Isaac Price
Disney literally should still had George Lucas direct them even if he wasn't the owner of the brand anymore. Fuck RLM hipsters, Lucas would've done a better job
William Hill

Also, you clearly have never watched Highlander 2.
Thomas Davis

>having another Death Star via a Death Star planet wasn't enough >now JJ wants a fleet of Death Star Star Destroyers
How the fuck haven't Star Wars fans realized what a hack JJ is like Trek fans have? Are Star Wars fans just that much dumber?
I think plenty of people did realize it. TFA set up didn't make sense.
William Ross
The prices looked good to me but then I realized I was Canadian
Jeremiah Sanchez
>first yf 22 is being designed in 1985 >first f 22 raptor isn't fully operational until 20 years later >4 years later over 100 raptors are fully operational. Seems about right.
Alexander Morris
>Are Star Wars fans just that much dumber I wish this Trek V Star Wars shit will end I like them both but Star Trek fans seem to be more aggressive when it comes to this fucking shit.
Aiden Powell
not as op as slapping a hyperdrive on a meteoroid
Owen Myers
Zahn did, that was in the first Thrawn book. The difference is that hot chocolate isn't a brand name product you imbecile.
Daniel Collins
True. I am... er... used to be a fan of both. After the prequels I soured on Star Wars fandom. Somehow I found it easier to ignore the bad Trek stuff and stayed a fan of Trek longer.
I guess I still love the old stuff, but I can't be bothered with either franchise anymore.
its so fucking tiresome second death star was already pushing it in the original trilogy its like a kid who saw star wars and is writing fanfics >woah in the next movie there is a death star that can destroy whole system at once! >and in the next there are MOVING death star installed on the ships!
Isaiah Gomez
That's it mate, now we can't really say who's smarter now can we since both franchises have been shit into the ether
Levi Sullivan
>implying the Star Destroyer fleet isn't hidden in a nebula
remember, the only Star Trek JJ has seen is Wrath of Khan. so guess how Kylo's redemption scene is going to go down.
Funny. When I kept complaining that JJ Trek seemed too much like Star Wars, I never meant that JJ would be good at making Star Wars. Then fucking Disney hired that idiot.
