        JJ and Johnson weren't fired, the original plan was to have 3 directors, the 3rd was the guy that makes the Jurassic world movies. He was the only one fired due to how bad Jurassic world 2 was, so they had to bring back jj, who then had to try to fix tlj (which he did a decent job of, all things considered.)

              Oh yes, George was quite insistent on portraying the Force as a Holy Trinity of complementary aspects. There's the Cosmic Force as the not-Father, which binds and sustains the natural forces of the universe and the inanimate matter which holds it together. There's the Living Force as the not-Son, which is what connects living beings to the Force and is the source of the soul. And then there's the Whills as the not-Holy Spirit, doing whatever it is the Holy Spirit does (I don't know what the Holy Spirit does).

        I guarantee none of these people were ever professionally criticized to the point where they actually change their view of the world. Worse than that they have been gaslit into thinking criticism is just something Cinemaphile does and therefore they are always right and the critics are wrong.

        Speaking of you have so-called film critics who do their job to a similar bad standard. At absolute minimum you'd have to watch the previous movies of a franchise or read the book of an adaptation to actually begin the thought process of critique.

        I unironically believe the autism Cinemaphile displays over the details of movies is worth a lot more than some guy munching popcorn for 90 minutes before tweeting "i loved this movie OHEMGEE it was super fun 10/10".

            Rose and Finn escape on the scout ship to go to Cantobite which is a big convenient, sure, but that's really the only instance of what you're describing. When they return, DJ hacks the First Order's radar to sneak onboard and when Rey shows up she's immediately captured.

              Rey is only captured because she flies directly into the hanger of the enemy ship flagship. And Holdo's plan to have their entire militia simply leave WOULD have apparently worked if DJ hasn't leaked the epic plan. But I will admit that it felt like characters left a lot more often than they actually did. My point is that the movie made it abundantly clear that it's not particularly difficult to escape the sights of the First Order (even DJ's hacking is blatantly noticed and simply shrugged off) which directly undermines the central conflict.

        At >10% light speed all the dust and gas would be tearing the ship apart

        I think with star wars the fuel situation is for FTL, not just floating through normal space, which they don't really do because their FTL isn't like star trek, it's going through an alternate dimension rather than going fast in the normal universe.

        The larger problem is that the plot of the fleets being chased revolved around the first order having a device that could track through hyperspace, meaning that in the past, before that device, the way to "pursue" fleeing ships was to find out through intel and hyperlane maps where they could possibly have gone to, and then send your battleships to block their safe havens and intercept the enemy ships.

        If the first order knew where the rebels were going, it did become a question of outrunning them, and in such a circumstance, if all hyperspace ships are comparably fast, it just becomes a question of logistics. Rebels can't get far enough ahead to dock and refuel, which makes sense.
        The only headscratcher is why the limitless resources of the first order didn't extend to having other fleets that could be called on to go in front of the rebels and catch them in a pincer movement. A wily coyote chase where they're linear and never catch up is just lazy oversight.

        • 5 months ago

          It's because they can't predict where they are going only follow after where they are going. They can't pincer them because they don't have enough fleets to cover 360whatever every direction across the entire galaxy. The rebels can go any direction any distance.

            I think I get what you're saying, but even if it was a case of "anywhere other than where the rebels come out of hyperspace is useless to wait in ambush", it would have been nice attention to detail to show that the first order were trying to cut off certain likely destinations or chokepoints, and any fleets that ended up in dead ends could try and rejoin the pursuit fleet.
            Also, ships that pull other ships out of hyperspace through gravity well generators were part of the old canon (and IIRC in new also) so cutting the rebels off from the front could have been possible with those rules

              I think its probably an unnecessary addition but I agree nothing would be lost by it, they could have easily just panned over a screen of star destroyer shaped wedges parked near different planets to convey they were doing that without even having to drop a spoken line
              The ST is a movie series that I think could be vastly improved with tweaks like that. A special edition of the ST would really elevate it.

          The whole chase comes across as a subplot ripped from a script they had lying around and repurposed for star wars.
          Every minor detail detracts from the plot and makes it even more nonsensical. The fact, for example, that nobody batted an eye when Finn and Rose left and returned to the main fleet is indicative of nobody bothering to proof read it.

        They called the planet Delta Vega which makes no sense as in TOS "Where No Man Has Gone Before" Delta Vega was a planet at the edge of the galaxy that was years away from any Federation bases at sub light speed.

        ok zhang yea you are the target audience and not me, art and storytelling is dead, we live in a dystopian nightmare where films are used as Chinese money farms/roulettes and it’s all helmed by the least creative, self centered. “epic wubalubadub” nerds on the planets. Rians selfishness is obvious in the direction of his movie, but JJ had the nerve to put his own personal references into the movie like he needed to make sure Star Wars was HIS now and not George Lucas.

        The whole "nothing really matters and you shouldn't make any kind of standard" is such a shitty stance but it's also so common with liberals. They really can't stand the idea someone would have a standard for any kind of behavior. There can't be any standards at all.

      much like Rian didn't understand that there's no friction in the vacuum of space, so the four ships that make up the entirety of the galaxy-spanning resistance could've gone at the same speed indefinitely with no fuel necessary
      Unless it's been retconned that the FO fleet was exerting force on the resistance ships with long-range tractor beams or something, but at that point you're putting more thought into the situation than anyone involved in the films did

      I think both of them are the ones that started the "subvert your expectations" and "don't think about potholes" fad in movies

    This might sound kind of weird, but I was playing that Jedi Knight game that came out this year. The heroes were going on and on about a big noble quest to rebuild the Jedi archives, so that the knowledge wouldn't be lost forever. It made me think of these films. Because in Episode 7, Kylo Ren school shooters the rebuilt archives, and then in Episode 8, Yoda zaps the only surviving documents. There's nothing left. All of the efforts these heroes are making in this game are 100% totally wasted. Their sacrifices amount to literally nothing. As the audience, we have the clairvoyance to know this in advance. These movies really did frick everything up, didn't they? What a shitshow.

    why did a bunch of autismos who couldn't even finish college suddenly start nitpicking star wars for scientific accuracy with the disney films? Star Wars has always been incredibly unrealistic and completely ignores the laws of physics. Do you think that spaceships bank like WWII fighter aircraft in a zero g environment? Did you forget when Han traveled to another cluster in 24 hours despite traveling slower than FTL? People sperg out about the falling bombs in TLJ even though the same shit happened in Empire.

      It's about the suspension of disbelief. The Battle of Yavin in the original movie was an obvious nod to classic WWII movies that everyone in the 70's would have been familiar with already. The interlude between the Millennium Falcon traveling from Hoth to Bespin in ESB is not ever explicitly stated, and could have been a timeskip of several weeks or months while Luke was training with Yoda for all we know. Yes this still doesn't make sense from a strictly scientific angle, but the audience subconsciously ignores it for the sake of storytelling in a movie. Lucas knew what he was doing.

      it moves fast on screen the first time you see it, especially when you're at a cinema with other people. One thing Disney is good at - maybe the ONLY thing - is moving the audience from one scene to another at high speed.

      the SECOND time I watched it, I realized just how fricking bad it was. But I assumed they were going to do something cool with the Rey/Kylo thing and have them each switch sides so I thought it would have a strong payoff

      They did, but without admitting it due to FOMO + honeymoon phase.
      They just had blind optimism for hoping the next film would answer everything, but then TLJ happened & cratered the franchise. The diehards were completely divided & lost faith. As for me, I always knew the trilogy was doomed from the start knowing how absolutely incompetent Disney's execs always were since the Eisner days. I recall the days in 2015 when everyone on this board collectively shat on Rey being a Mary Sue, how the plot half-assedly recycled ANH whilst rendering the accomplishments of the OT null and void, how contradictory the events of the story were laid out, how Han and Leia regressed compared to the prior trilogy, and how JJ's Mystery Box™ trope was rampant throughout the runtime. Anyone with actual common sense & not a braindead normie knew it was just corporate goyslop and would be nothing more than corporate goyslop.

        Return of the Jedi is known as the turning point of when the monetization took priority over the storytelling. Even then, it doesn’t feel as cynical or brain dead as TFA, and I think that reason is pretty fricking obvious. Plus, rehashing the same plot point *3 times,* even when you have the ability to take the series in a new direction, is complete fricking madness, I can’t believe how stupid JJ is, just pure utter moronation.

              Return of the Jedi is a fricking awful movie outside of the throne room stuff. TFA, despite transparently playing the hits rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, is actually fun and entertaining and well-made and I think it does have more clever ideas than people give it credit for - a lot of autismos just see an Xwing and a Death Star and then go LITERALLY SAME MOOBIE xD with no further nuance or discussion.

              Kylo Ren's characterization alone is a better idea than anything George Lucas had come up with after 1980.

                Still less cynically made than any of the sequels. Imagine the brain rot necessary to have this entire universe which hundreds of writers have made derivative takes on (which were all hilariously “officially retconned” to justify these films) and deciding to just do new hope again with variations. Resetting the characters from the first films journeys to justify them even participating in this shit. What a statement, and what a moronic thing to defend.

                >How can you consider a rehash new
                it had new characters in new locations showing off doing new things, I never saw the falcon do shit before like it did in TFA so that spectacle was enjoyable. characters like rey, poe, kylo, BB8 are all enjoyable. it doesn't matter if they are on a similar story path I have seen like 100 versions of king arthur, robin hood, etc and its enjoyable.

                In the Original Trilogy when characters travel between planets we are shown intermediate scenes of them lounging on the ship because even though they are in hyperspace, they still have to travel a vast distance that takes time.
                At the end of TFA Rey gets on the Millennium Falcon at the rebel base, enters hyperspace, and exits hyperspace at Luke's hidden planet; in one scene.

                yes but the leisure downtime was always inserted as it fit the needs of the script, not as realistic. you also completely avoided the point that the OT had ships close enough to ram into each other shooting guns when in a realistic battle scenario they wouldn't even be able to see each other, they'd be confirming hits and misses via instruments
                but guess what thats fricking visually boring as frick

                When? The second Rey gets involved, any action scene becomes instantly boring, but she's not the only offender.
                Compare and contrast Luke making the bombing run vs Poe doing whatever the frick he did. Luke's run is tense to the very end, and it's only when he makes the shot that the tension drains.
                When Poe gets inside the whole mission is instantly over. He just starts blasting with no resistance, because the film assumes that the duel (which Rey is in the process of sabotaging) will keep the tension going.

        literally the first planet we ever see in Star Wars has multiple suns. Is it that outlandish that the system they built it in might have had more than one star?

        When I saw TFA in theaters tripping balls my interpretation was that Starkiller Base was a moronic short-term superweapon built for the sole reason of fricking up the Republic and evening the odds between the Republic and First Order, and wasn't intended for long-term sustainability, because the First Order is stupid

                Still a backwater shithole not in the galactic core. And that's still not technically "canon" right? Ilum is too cool to be carved out between movies and I'm sure Ahsoka fans would love to see a lightsaber planet.

                Ilum is shown to be in the process of converted to Starkiller Base in Fallen Order, which takes place right after Order 66. Sheev planned on it being built for decades in the new canon but it wasn't finished while he was alive. Cal sees the beginnings of it from orbit if he goes back there in the post game. It's canon.

      You have no idea of the depths of the ST's stupidity. Let's take the new republic's fleet as an example.
      The reason they have no way to respond, leading to a paramilitary group being "the resistance" is due to Mon Mothma deciding to completely disband the republic military outside of one fleet, which orbits the capital planet. This fleet is obliterated alongside the system, meaning they have literally no assets to respond with, since she decided each system should self police.
      If this isn't already so stupid your brain is leaking out of your ears, consider this: the whole reason the clone wars happened is due to the republic having no way to enforce its edicts, and the neglected systems banding together with their own military forces.
      Mon Mothma was alive when this happened.

    What's really moronic is that they built all the new star destroyers in rise of skywalker with the ability to destroy planets making the death star look completely moronic.

    How did they get the tech to build star destroys with the same capabilities as their super weapons? It took like 20 years to build the first death star and in just 20 more years they had thousands of ships with the same capability.

      JJ honestly couldve just not written about the first order at all.

It'd have actually meant that Holdo succeeded instead of just blowing herself up for no fricking reason. It would've meant the lightspeed ram worked instead of accomplishing literally nothing at all.

        The lightspeed ram ruins pretty much everything in the fricking series. Han bypasses starkiller bases shields by going through them in hyperspeed. So what would stop an xwing from just hyperspeeding into the Death Star and blowing the entire thing up that way? Going lightspeed with even that little of mass would easily contain enough energy to blow up a moon sized object.

        The entire maneuver makes the Death Star pointless since they could just put fricking hyperdrives on asteroids and ram planets with them without the need to build a giant spacestation.

            Have you ever played Lego The Lord of the Rings? When you get to an area closed off by a red ring, Sauron's eye gazes at you & prevents you from going any further until you complete a prior level. Ergo, the eye would just look at any passing eagles & kill them with a single stare, thusly preventing them from flying to Mount Doom earlier. The only reason they could rescue Frodo and Sam at the end was due to the tower's collapse.

          Yeah I get that but at the very least you can make the ram make sense from a character standpoint. As it stands Holdo blew herself up for absolutely no reason at all. At least you can make her sacrifice and the loss of the resistance mean something narrarively. It's still fantasy, and what most people consider is the characters first and the logic second. As it is, it makes 0 sense.

      they say they need fuel in the phantom menace, that's why they go to tatooine
      pls consider suicide

      >seething midwit attempts to defend JJ movies

      I accept your concession again

      accept my cum on your chest nerd

      Is it safe to say that the galaxy was in an even worse state than it was after ROTJ?
      Also, I still can't wait to see how they'll deal with the fact that the First/Final Order will become a remnant of an Imperial remnant with their absurd resources.

      yes its almost like you can't solve problems with violence big brain I know

      Why did they make star wars 7 a soft reboot? it was guaranteed to make a billion dollars whatever it was so why not make an original movie with 2 planned sequels? The ESG/Iger-mandated lack of white male protagonist is bad and israeli but why not at least make it not a terrible trainwreck?

      its basic media 101 the same reason shows have a PREVIOUSLY ON section

              Oh yes, George was quite insistent on portraying the Force as a Holy Trinity of complementary aspects. There's the Cosmic Force as the not-Father, which binds and sustains the natural forces of the universe and the inanimate matter which holds it together. There's the Living Force as the not-Son, which is what connects living beings to the Force and is the source of the soul. And then there's the Whills as the not-Holy Spirit, doing whatever it is the Holy Spirit does (I don't know what the Holy Spirit does).

      >>Luke has to travel to Dagobah slowly (presumably because X-Wings also do not have hyperdrives)
      I thought X-Wings do have hyperdrives and that was one of the things that set them apart from TIE fighters.

      After TROS even they don't care. There was a lot of people willing to go to bat for RJ but TROS put a stop to it. After TROS the entire trilogy is just forgotten about, noone fricking cares. Even here noone defending them is being serious. They're pretty much universally seen as total dogshit. Even George publicly expressed his disappointment and he handpicked Kennedy as effectively his replacement. Everyone in general is exasperated by them.

      They were so afraid of it that they made TROS, I get TLJ is a supremely shitty film but it did present a potential end to the massive scale conflict that set up TFA/TLJ. They could have written a much simpler, probably cheaper as well, final act that was just Rey and Kylo finding Palpatine. There legit did not need to be 5,000 star destroyers to make TROS work.

      The first couple of them are. By Civil War they'd they'd gotten their gay little formula down and it was just over. Then for some asinine reason they tried to insert real world politics into a story about a purple ballsac alien making everyone disappear and then reappear with space magic complete with terrorism, antifa, and American race politics, which was so bad I still can't really believe that it happened.

    Why did Han and Luke fight those tie fighters outside Tatooine when they could have gone lightspeed inside the docking bay?
    Why did it take so long for the Millenium Falcon to get to Alderaan?
    Why did it take so long for Luke to get to Dagobah?
    Why did Darth Vader chase Luke in the trench if he can completely stop larger ships using the force?
    Why did the Empire need to destroy the shield generator instead of just exiting hyperspace inside the shield?
    Why did the Rebels need to flee Hoth when they could enter hyperspace inside the atmosphere?
    Why didn't anyone hyperspace ram the Death Star?
    Why didn't the empire hyperspace ram Alderaan?
    Why didn't the rebellion hyperspace ram Death Star 2?
    Why did rebellion lead a ground squad to disable the shield generator if they could just exit hyperspace inside the Death Star shield?
