The new republic fleet was apparently gathered at hosnian. I don't think the first order fleet is bigger than the empire, but it's ships are and there's no one to fight em.

Probably a small post-demilitarisation fleet was all the appeasing New Republic had left, which was easy to keep near the capital, and older ships like the Raddus were and are parked in mothball shipyards all over the galaxy awaiting scrapping, plus any light stuff on routine patrol.

Johnson revealed that Carrie didn't get to finish ADR, and they had to scrounge and tweak to work around that. Expect people to be whining about that, but only once it's in a few more interviews and becomes better known

It's interesting how thin on the ground major spoilers seem to be this close to the release. Hadn't fans accurately figured out like 98% of the plot of TFA based simply on putting clips together by now?

# ? Dec 7, 2017 23:08 |

yeah. a lot of the trailers I've seen are just iterations on what was released first, with maybe a 1~2 seconds more from a scene. that's why i've just been talking about porgs. there's nothing else to really talk about

mastershakeman posted:so let's get this straight , the universe between ROTJ and force awakens: The New Republic was a failure because like half of the senators were former Rebels who are gun-shy when it comes to any form of centralized government and want all the planets to handle their own poo poo and have their own planetary forces instead. The other half it turns out were Empire apologists who have parties where they show off their vintage stormtrooper helmet collections and talk about how cool and good the Emperor was and secretly launder a poo poo ton of New Republic funds to send to the growing First Order. So half of the Senate didn't want a military because they were scared of the government going evil again and making it the new Imperial Navy, and the other half didn't want it because it would make it harder for the First Order to win when they finally attacked. This is all as of like 5 years before TFA; apparently before that things were sort of okay because Mon Mothma was a really good leader but she got space cancer or something and retired. Leia almost became the new Mon Mothma-type-leader-person but then it got publicly revealed that Darth Vader was her dad so everyone in the Senate hated her and she left and formed the Resistance. So when the First Order blows up the Hosnian system you've got half the galaxy unable to defend itself and the other half 100% ready to go full Empire again.

Guys, I didn't think TFA was really that good but uh, I am not sure how this happened, but I think Adam Driver is absolutely the redeeming center in the whole mess.

I too am on team Finn. He’s extremely likeable and energetic, and overall just fun. Boyega is a treasure.

John Boyega is a great actor but I'm still not sure what I was supposed to get out of Finn's character. Is he a brainwashed Janissary slave-soldier raised from birth rebelling against his conditioning? Because he seems a lot more like a sort of wacky everyman trying to get out of the army he was drafted into last week.

Boyega was perfectly fine, but his character doesn't make a lot of sense based on what we've been told about him, and what we've seen.

the 3 (or 4 if you want to include oscar isaac) leads are the best leads of any star wars movie and are pretty much the only hope of these movies being interesting

It would be nice if this movie did anything at all with Oscar Isaac, but I have my doubts. I mean, I'm glad the guy is getting the paychecks, but if you've got Oscar Isaac you'd think you'd use Oscar Isaac. The trailers haven't really lit me on fire even though I think Rian Johnson is great. Luckily, we haven't seen anything to do with Benicio Del Toro so I'm holding out hope that he's secretly the best part of the whole deal.

Huh, I actually figured it was the opposite at some point. He's gone for so long and then there's no fanfare whatsoever when he shows up again, he's just doing his pilot thing. I had assumed that there must have been some scenes with him in the interim that got cut.
