Why is Han Solo still a smuggler at age 80?
You'd think that as republican war hero he could retire or at least be the CEO of a smuggling operation or something.

because JJ Abrams is a dumb hack
/thread
The Crap Awakens is by far the dumbest Movie I've ever seen. Prey is a close second.
fpbp
Nothing needs to be added.
This Abomination was a group effort care of Disney et al: J.J. was a part of a Committee ,along with K.K., who sought to create a man hating dyke feminist vehicle with a dash of Member berries!
I don't like people '/thread'ing their own post but yeah, /thread.

We should have seen the asspull of "SOMEHOW, Palpatine returned" coming from the very first minute of TFA. The signs were all there. A storm trooper that just starts shooting at his buddies without any reluctance whatsoever. A "Republic" that isn't thriving after having defeated the empire. An "imperial remnant" that somehow is even bigger and badder than the empire ever was.
He had to pay off his gambling debts to Lando and pay off the Hutts to not send assassins after him for the Jabba affair. Mon Mothma and Admiral SJW also embezzled his pension.
Elon Musk's dad is pretty much an old version of Han and he is still doing his shitty schemes. Frick ups like that are always broke and as they age they get more and more desperate.
Nice try Disney, but you suck!
JJ decided to make everything the same as A New Hope, so he reset Han, because showing Han as a character who has grown is harder than simply recycling the OT.
I hate Abrams far more than Johnson, who at least had the right idea in telling a new story (but executed it terribly). Abrams did far more damage with his fan-pandering memberberries than Johnson's tiresome subversions.
In fact, TFA kills the sequel trilogy by destroying what went before, and nuking Rey and Finn's character arcs, leaving little room for world building or character progression.
Worst sin, making Rey the most broken protagonist of all time!
By doing so it destroys her character arc. She starts off as an interesting character but then JJ has her "bypass the character development" and become alpha by the end of the first movie.
Same with Finn, his arc should have spanned the sequel trilogy, IMHO he should have still been a storm trooper at the end of TFA. But JJ had him kill his own comrades 15 minutes into the movie, leaving his character with nowhere to go.
She Bypassed Everything that would have enamoured her to us! Remember that Gina Davis and Samuel Jackson movie? Had they done that, making her another 'Charlie', he would have bought into the character!
TFA killed the series before it began!
*we
Johnson wanted to do something different, but his intention was also to destroy. So in that sense I guess I agree with you, as it's even more embarrassing the damage JJ did unintentionally with his hackery. Doing something derivative but good is still better than what either JJ or Johnson did, but following up the garbage of TFA with TLJ's shitty edgelord arsonist homosexualry definitely has a poetic justice to it.
Trevorow, judging by his version of TRoS seemed to have a better balance than Abrams and Johnson, who represent the two extremes of the worst trends in modern film-making; referential memberberrying and Edge Lord subversion.
Kennedy allowed JJ and Johnson to do as they pleased. There was clearly no plan. An overall arc should have been mapped out before they even started on TFA, with a structure for the trilogy set out.
You don't understand. This isn't like Marvel. They didn't have tons of comics and years of side media to base anything on. They had to start from scratch and it was very difficult.vsdgs
They had Lucas's outline and it sounded way better than what we got.
>midichlorian bullshit and more revived Darth Maul
oh frick off. You Lucas semen slurpers are unreal
Disney ET AL, wanted to punish straight white males.
It was bad then and is bad now. It's an excuse to get Han back into action I guess, and to team up with Rey. Jay Jay Abrahams wanted the save nostalgia route and this was the easiest outline from his POV, to get all the known and beloved characters back.
I'm now totally on board with Rich Evan's verdict regarding the limitation of this franchise. They're going to shoehorn in either Vader, the Force or the Empire in every single SW-related show or movie until the end of time. There will be no escape. I totally expect to see every one of these characters back as CGI creatures. I'm guessing we're ten years away from a full-fledged CGI Luke Skywalker show that takes place between A New Hope and Empire.
What they should have done was ditched the Empire and told a new story within the Star Wars universe, moving forward with a new enemy.
But JJ played it safe, and just recycled A New Hope, crippling the sequel trilogy instantly by locking it into the past.
Rich Evans and co are the reason why they went with a rehash of ANH.
That was on Mike.
It was Mike who suggested JJ direct it. Star Trek Into Darkness was where his fricking awful cynical memberberry storytelling became visible to all.
Yes, that's the irony. Mike especially with the Plinkett reviews, I don't think Rich gives a shit about Star Wars aside from some old Lucas Arts games.
Yeah, Hollywood pays oh-so close attention to RLM. That's the ticket!
The Sony leaks revealed that even executives were memeing Idris Elba as Bond. Hollywood absolutely watched RLM.
Simon Pegg, longtime friend and collaborator with JJ Abrams, has publicly recommended the Prequel Plinkett reviews
>Han Solo isn't allowed to change his clothes or his career
Star Wars is dumb
I thought he would be a pirate type guy with fleets of smugglers under his command not gonna lie.
That'd have been a powerful trait.
Because he is POOR
He's wearing the same clothes for like 50 years.
Some people just can't give up their professions
alternatively JJ is a fricking moronic hack and Disney is full of fricking moronic morons
He shifted to being a swoop race promoter or something, but fell back into smuggling from the depression of "Son went dark side".
His son turned evil so he relapsed
JJ is an incompetent writer. Him abandoning Lucas was most stupid idea. Also, Rey was always a Solo. He pulled the Palpatine lineage outta his ass when got handed E9.
He didn't abandon Lucas, Kennedy and EEEEGORE did, J.J. was simply hired to enforce their wishes!
Eat excrement, Disney Shill! Lucas Prequels Merchandise MADE BILLIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Disney crap awakens merchandise ended up as land fill!
What gets me is that somehow the Empire got destroyed and the Rebels won in RotJ and yet somehow the Empire is back to being big and powerful and the Rebels are back to being underdogs again, SOMEHOW, it makes no damn sense.
and with the return of the emperor, the ot is in effect entirely meaningless. our heroes accomplished exactly nothing and are worse off at the start of episode 7. in fact the whole skywalker saga is more or less irrelevant now.
It wouldn't have made sense for the Rebellion to just win outright after ROTJ though anyway.The Empire would still be very powerful and assuming their new leadership didn't surrender the war would continue going on for a long time. It's very possible in that timespan the Rebellion suffered significant losses and are the verge of finally losing the war after decades of conflict. There could have been a good storyline to work from there in the hands of better writers
Most of the empire's military is still around, it wouldn't make sense for them to surrender just because Vader and Palpatine died.
But they seem even more powerful than the old Empire, especially with Palpatine's giant underground fleet. How did they get the infrastructure and materials to produce all these ships completely under the nose of the New Republic?
Star Forge?
Congrats anon, you put more thought into the worldbuilding than JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy
Anything but staying home to watch paint dry
ADVENTURE
10/10
If you described the new trilogy to fans soon after the release of episode 6 they would laugh in your face and never believe you in a million years.
Because fans only want a repeat of the same stories they loved as a kids.
