Star Wars has always been awful at scale. I will remind you that the clone wars, a GALACTIC scale war, was fought with 1.2 million clones, ~15% the size of the men fielded by the United States during World War II, a war that was fought on two continents and a few small islands in the Pacific.
Those clones were the equivalent of black ops specialists going up against battle droids that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. They probably lost one clone for every thousand droids they turned to scrap.

uhhhh, phantom energy!

anyone who had at any point been involved in the writing process of these 3 movies deserves to have their fingers broken with a hammer
Palpatine should've been like an evil force ghost who was so absurdly over the top comically evil he literally died but just didn't stop existing. It would've made the possession plot he had make at least some sense. But instead he's like, in a body, just still alive.
For the same reason that Spock could watch Vulcan get sucked into a black hole from a different planet on the far side of the system, or why in the next movie, the Enterprise could fall into the Earth's atmosphere only about 5 minutes after being disabled next to the moon.
JJ Abrams doesn't understand space at all. Like, not even at an elementary school level. The man is dumber than the dumbest black gorilla Black person, and can't even figure out why the things he puts in his movies make no sense.
Everything about these movies is bad. Just an absolute clusterfrick. I went into TFA excited and came out extremely unhappy and confused about what I just watched. I hope everyone who made it gets ass cancer.
You poor bastard. I went through my happy-to-unhappy moment when somebody on Cinemaphile posted the .webm of Han fricking Solo getting ganked by his emo son. Yeah, just go ahead and kill off one of my childhood heroes you israelite homosexual. Like hell I'm going to watch your fricking flick now.
Little did I know that there was much much worse to come. But at least I've never watched it, much less paid good money for it. And I never will. Thank you Cinemaphile. I owe you a solid.
The same reason starships with FTL do battle w/in a stone's throw of each other like old sailing ships: so you can see them on the screen. But you knew that.
I am not even joking when I say this: this is what finally woke me up to the fact that 95% of the population is literally, full-blown mental moronic and not even really human. When I first saw this, the following train of thought developed in my mind over a few days >Something that moronic can't exist >Yet it does >Well, I guess a very moronic man could produce it as a thought >But if he ever voiced it, the sheer preponderance of non-moronic people around him would cause him to be mocked and corrected >So how does it exist? >Wait, how does it exist in a MAJOR MOVIE, with billions of dollars at stake? >This isn't just "general people around him correcting him," this is untold thousands of people involved in the writing and production of t the movie who could have, at any time, said "Uhhh dude... Planets ain't close together, dumbass" >NOBODY did >THOUSANDS of people with high stakes jobs, responsible to thousands of shareholders and studio executives with billions of dollars on the line, are moronic?? >Wait, I've only ever seen rare people who saw the movie get upset at it, too >In a "normal" world, the world I just moments ago thought existed, 95% of the people in the theater would go "Wait, that's moronic!" simultaneously >Nobody did? >Only rare people mention it at all? >MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE moronic?
When I first saw it in the theater, I thought it was a single planet surrounded by moons. When Finn saw the destruction, I thought they were in the same solar system. Then I read somewhere that those were multiple planets + the destruction was seen from lightyears away. It finally hit me that Disney Wars wasn't worth investing in.
>they're moons
They're not. They comprise the entire Hosnian System. They just happen to be conveniently near each other to show off the bright colorful explosions.
For the record, that was originally meant to be Coruscant from the PT. They reneged on that decision after realizing they went too far. Motherfrickers really wanted to erase George's legacy to promote their own dogshit.
>How about a third Death Star, this time about 100 times more powerful, capable of shooting a target through hyperspace anywhere in the galaxy with a push of a button
how could you not be embarrassed coming up with this?
Imagine the tidal force
JJ can't do scale. He pulled the same shit with Star Trek '09.

Why did the laser curve and split?
Stop asking questions and buy more tickets
Uuh... Uuuhh... It's because... Uuh... Because it's a children's movie! Yeah, take that, chud!
>Why did the laser curve and split?
"Phantom Energy" according to the lore. Look it up.
Link me to the autism mines that spawned this lore ore.
>would follow the line of egress that had been provided by the weapon's technicians
Holy shit I thought you were making this up

No
Too fast.
they used a fancy lens

>Man, those planets are REALLY close together...
Is this a galaxy for ants?
We just had this fricking thread. Let it die already.
*sigh* Somehow the thread returned
Underrated

Som-

Does the Force give you super strength? That imperial guard woulda overpowered her and cut her breasts off.

If you think this is bad check out how they brought back Palpatine.
holy shit they're moons you morons
>they're moons
They're not. They comprise the entire Hosnian System. They just happen to be conveniently near each other to show off the bright colorful explosions.
even as moons they would have collided with one another millions of years ago. They are too large and close together.
>they would have collided with one another millions of years ago.
>They are too large and close together.
My 12-year old son asked me if planets are actually this close in space and I had to explain him that filmmakers just whiffed
Everything I see from the new Star Wars reminds me of those feveresque dreams you get when trying to sleep after doing shitloads of drugs.

You have to admit that after *that*, creating Star Destroyers with ordinary superlasers on them is pretty weak tea.
