Why?
What was the FRICKING point?

the point was to waste your time
They had the star forge
If they wanted to lean into that they should never have dug him up. Make the last movie about Ben stopping Rey from learning ancient secrets to rebuilding the Jedi order or some such. She wants to build the order, he wants to build a fleet
They already had the "so the Jedi were real" line so why not have "so the star maps and revan were real" too
I'm pretty sure that beach planet that was next to it was on the luke map or something
I just remember people freaking out about it being canon
Yeah Rakata I think
Uncreative diversity writers can't understand anything but constant escalation of scale.
Correct. Never mind that absolutely nothing about the creation of the fleet made any sense. They did exactly what prequel apologists do when you bring up something that makes zero sense; "it's the force, I don't gotta explain shit."
>what prequel apologists do when you bring up something that makes zero sense; "it's the force, I don't gotta explain shit."
In all the years online I have never once seen someone defend the prequels using that excuse.
It's the same uncreative buttholes who were presented with the idea
>What would happen to all the people who worked for the Empire after it fell?
And instead of coming up with something vaguely, *remotely* interesting like, I dunno, flipping the dynamic and having the FO be a small ragtag group of terrorists causing trouble for the NR or maybe having the ex-imps become some displaced group of untouchables forced to eke out a living in the Outer Rim, or fricking *something* new and different they said
>Oh! They form an evil, unstoppable Empire with unlimited resources, stormtroopers, star destroyers, ATAT walkers, and superweapons that blow up planets!
I don't even know how the economics of that fleet would work. You'd need the emperor to suddenly turn back to large scale cloning and slavery in order to harvest the resources and construct those ships.
The justification for the background in TFA is beyond fricking moronic
>What happened after the Empire fell?
The Rebel Alliance took over and became the New Republic and declared everyone who every picked up a gun or swept a floor for the Empire was a war criminal, even though 90% of them didn't know what the Empire was up to
>Okay, they all got imprisoned?
No, they fled to unexplored space and rebuilt their fleet even bigger than before
>Wait, how?
They discovered unlimited resources and made money selling weapons to evil rich people
>Why didn't the New Republic stop them
Because they didn't have any ships or weapons
>What? Why the frick not?
Because the first thing they did after the war was dismantle all the ships and weapons
>etc. etc. etc.
tl;dr - the writers warped the laws of narrative reality and common sense to find a way to contort the story into "Rag tag group of good guy underdogs vs unstoppable empire with unlimited power"
Millennial female writers idk
booba
its just fat, anon
would
>tell rey if she kills him he will be able to take over her body
>she kills him
>happy ending my name is skywalker now teehee
He killed himself 😉
And right after he transitioned into a woman.
>in ROTJ, utilizing the entire might of the Empire's labor the Emperor isn't able to assemble a new death star in time, after years
>In ROS, all he has to do is shake his ass and YASS QUEEN while in deep exile to conjure up the strongest fleet in Galactic history
biggerer and betterer and epicerer than evar b4!!!!
o shit check out that beefyest arm
>USA has 3,750 nuclear warheads
Why? What's the point?
To keep the villains (Russia, China, Cuba) in place
Unironically, telling the public that line went up
and not drawing attention to who owns the weapon production, the actual cost of production and what the suckers,, i mean public, are paying for it all.
Rape and pillage, use brain
With a fleet they could more efficiently destroy literally everything.
Just send one to every planet and then they can destroy every planet.
This would be good and it is what Darth Sidious wants.
except he doesn't want to destroy everything, he wants to rule everything
>Why?
>What was the FRICKING point?
Nothing.
There was no overarching story plan from the get go. They just made up shit as it went along + TLJ derailed any semblance of a supposed """story""" due to Kathleen Kennedy's shitty leadership. A fleet of a thousand planet-killing ships was essentially a hail mary.
sith operate by rule of cool - always have always will
question is why he didn't build an armada of death stars - might as well have considering he had unlimited resources
What was a better way ROTJ could have been done? Bringing back the Death Star was lame.
>whataboutism
'discussion'
maybe not make a shitty cash grab trilogy if you dont have any good ideas for it?? have you ever fricking thought about that you moronic homosexual?
But the third movie closes all the character arcs?
nope
finn; wasted.
most had no set up to close anyway.
but look; infinite baddie spaceships
look; infinite goodie spaceships
its the movie equal to going to see a magician and they just run around setting off glitter bombs because they dont know how to do an actual magic act
ROTJ is return of the jedi.
yeah we need nested threads for these tangent arguments.
if i knew a website that did that i would frick off back to it, but i dont
I think the best way would have been to take the story to the Empire homeworld/Had Abaddon, but it wasn't viable I guess.
they already had budget problems and that was why they went with ewoks instead of wookies
Have the Endor moon be a Starkiller Base. Gives the Ewoks more of a reason to be pissed off.
>*gasp* These star destroyers are unstoppable except for by a Jedi more powerful than Luke, Anakin, Yoda, and Mace Windu combined!
>No man has such power!
>cuts to Rey messing with an engine
What part of "Unlimited Powaaaa" didn't you understand?
Bad writing
*raises hand* I know, I know!
To destroy lots of planets.
gotta go bigger
bigger is more impressive
bigger is better
its not like you can go too far.
if they did the same as last time it would not be as impressive.
This is all just empty noise made by hacks that dont understand what makes a story good and have no idea how to tell one and leave people wanting more.
JJ Abrahack, Peter Hackson, even George Luchacks all fall victim to the trap and drift into lazy excess to try and hide their lack of understanding
>I am all the Sith!
>And I am all the Jedi!
>And I am all the Star Destroyers!
-JJ Abrams probably
Did any male have a happy ending in the sequel trilogy?
>Luke made a new Darth vader, failed at his school, all younglings killed. Died to something Rey could do effortlessly.
>Han's son was Hitler and killed him. Reverts to his old ways with no power.
>Finn was sexually assaulted and was a joke the rest of the time.
What would Harrison Ford think of this?
"look at the nerds talking about the stories"
probably
Poe got publicly castrated by a purple haired sociology lecturer in a ball gown, saw 99% of his fleet and crew killed, didn't get a girl (or guy) and Rey was effortlessly better at piloting than he was
Snoke should have been the main antagonist. Should have been the youngling Anakin first struck down. Would have been literally perfect.
its hindsight that tells us
when this moron hack was holding up his pissy little card
that he had no fricking idea what snoke was and no plan to set up or pay off a backstory about him
Exactly. Just imagine it- Snoke would have been Anakin and Palpatine's greatest monster. The age was right too, 10 years older or so than Luke. They just had to ignore the entire prequel trilogy though..
Snoke was never going to have a good backstory. His character was fundamentally stupid.
you are fundamentally stupid
He was always just Emperor Lite.
GOTTA RAISE THEM STAKES
i own a model of the falcon as big as a coffee table and i still havnt bothered to watch this empty, dumb, noisey hack-job of a film
i could torrent it right now for free
and yet i do not
Did TLJ actually have a GOOD effect on movies?
Now most writers know that just subverting expectations ISN'T actual writing.
Nobody learned their lesson after the backlash over TLJ and GOT - "le subversion" culture in studio exec circles is still as prevalent as it was 4-5 years ago.
it was a moronic asspull and they couldn't be bothered to even have a KOTOR esque "there's a magic starship printing factory" explanation.
I mean they literally had the material to draw on yet you get no explanation for the fact they managed to make such a massive fleet with no leaks or indications it was happening
the sequels have remained divisive in a way the prequels did not which has to scare a lot of people at least internally, but in all honesty with Kathleen still at the fricking helm I don't expect that much introspection until someone finally shunts her out the door
>the sequels have remained divisive in a way the prequels did not
The prequels were still very divisive in 2009.
Yeah, but racism hadn't been invented yet.
What a fricking abortion of a film, I havent watched it and I never will. I cant even be bothers to download it.
It's like the US showing up at the coast of Iran with 500 aircraft carriers. This just confirmation that the Star Wars franchise was now being run by complete idiots.
The biggest aircraft carrier in the world is about 0.2 miles long. A Star Destroyer is about 1 mile long. So five times the length and god knows how much bigger in terms of all around size. That scene was just so mindbogglingly stupid.
And then a little Iraqi girl sneezes out lightning and they all explode.
Actually its like Iran showing up at the coast of the US with 500 aircraft carriers.
There was no point.There was no point to any of it.
>writers are fricking moronic
>people defending nuDisney are moronic
whats new
That fan made 100 mile Super Duper Star Destroyer that has the famous image mocking it would have been better than whatever this was.
Though I guess they already used their Supder Duper Star Destroyer with the stretched out Executor
because it's a bad movie written by soulless c**ts that have never cared about anything in their lives and put together by a huge team of moronic sycophantic thralls.
Who is Snoke?
Reminder that one of the Star Destroyers with a planet-killing laser had already made it off of Exegol and remained unaccounted for at the end of the movie.
What do you suppose a crew of Sith-worshiping cultists will do when they find out that the Rebels have murdered Palpatine for a second time? The galaxy is fricked.
>What was the FRICKING point?
They needed something shockingly dreadful and going for a BIGGER Death Star again would have been too lazy even for them.
