Star Wars General

@Red Anon  
They killed the star… it killed them back
 
@QuasarNova  
Yep. Harry Potter x Star Wars crossover confirmed. Some dude’s crazy headcanon became reality.

@EHAN
 
Too bad it involved Han taking one for the team.
 
Which by the way, how long before people assimilate that?

@QuasarNova  
My cousin is a total Harrison Ford fan. Should I tell her to bring tissues?

|| Holy fuck the Republic does nothing but fail, 30 min into the movie and half their shit is blown up. No wonder the Republic is about as stable as Syria||
 
 
@EHAN
 
|| “Sir, we have successfully moved a star 10 feet to the left”||

@EHAN
 
Are you kidding me? No

@Zincy  
”Good job, men!”
 
“However, we lost a lot of men doing that. Shit blew up.”
 
“…welp”

@EHAN
 
|| Never work on anything resembling the Deathstar and never live on any Republic capital world||

@QuasarNova  
@EHAN  
Eh, Ford looked quite tired during much of the film anyhow. Though I wonder who chose to give him the Obi-Wan treatment.
 
@Zincy  
I blame Mothma or Bothans for that one. Who the hell chooses to disband nearly there entire fleet and let planets just do their own protecting themselves again after what happened. It didn’t work for the Republic then and it definitely won’t work now.

@Red Anon
 
How many times has the Republic fell? You’d think they’d of learned some self-preservation by now.

@Red Anon  
Whoever’s idea it was to put in that amount of parallels to the original trilogy in the first place, that’s who.

@Zincy  
Canon wise? Twice, first the old Republic then the Galactic Republic. Legends a couple more after the Vong invasion. Given that by then the Rebellion/New Republic/Whatever they’re calling themselves this week was by then full of either corrupt/incompetent/stupid politicians, Borssk Fey’la and Daala it’s not surprising.

|| Seriously though, Starkiller base was pretty badass. Super space shotgun that eats stars, like some insane combo of the Death Star, the Scatter Cannon, and the Starforge. I was worried that it would have been just the Deathstar mk3.||

||Speaking of which, guess this isn’t as stupid sounding now huh? ||

@QuasarNova
 
|| Still is stupid because now we need to build even more solar panels, so we can finally show other planets who’s boss||

@EHAN  
So either Kasdan or Abrams then?  
@Zincy  
It still pretty much was Deathstar Mk.3 though.

We’re talking about a Star Wars film for the first time all over again. I know it, and yet, I’m still amazed.

@Red Anon
 
|| Well, any big, planet killing super weapon is going to basically be the Deathstar, but at least this one was different in that its beams traveled faster than light, and scattered like a shotgun blast rather than it just being a bigger deathstar. Also, it was powered by eating a star||

@Zincy
 
We still need that Sun dude
 
@Red Anon
 
||Basically this ||

@QuasarNova
 
We’ll just go take over another solar system, with power like that who would stop us?

@Zincy
 
||The force. Of plot convenience ||

@Zincy  
There is a reason why I said earlier that it pretty much felt like a mix of death star and cenerpoint station. Though I may be misremembering the name of the superweapon that the Corellia system was made of.

@Red Anon
 
Fair point.
 
 
Kylo Ren has got to be a partial dig at angry, angsty fanbois

@Zincy  
Well yeah he does feel like that. Especially whenever he hears the news.

I really enjoyed the movie. So much fun stuff in it. But probably one of my biggest gripes is:
 
||Kylo or Ben, or whatever Mr. Whiney’s name is. He just doesn’t really feel like a threat. Heck Finn was able to hold him off for a bit with a lightsaber. And as far as I can tell he aint the least bit force sensitive.
 
But now this dude who apparently betrayed and killed all of Luke’s students had to work to beat him in a fight?
 
I don’t fear him. Basically. And that’s a big flaw to have in your Big Bad Evil Guy.
