That 4 armed gently caress was cool actually. He had a personality that the other characters lacked big time.

the main attraction for me for ROTJ was the space battle and rogue one easily topped it so rotj's fallen a bit for me

I just watched Rogue One again last night and that battle is the best of any of the films. It's so drat good.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

The movie does such a good job of showing that Han is a great pilot that they have to have a character interrupt his own death to tell the audience that he’s a great pilot. That’s a sure sign that the information has been well conveyed, visually.

Kinda surprised that no one betrayed/stole poo poo out of the Falcon and took off in the nose pod, laughing while they seal the door. Instead they just get rid of it....to go fast? Or to make the cthulu eat it? I literally can't remember

It was a luxury escape pod, Han launches it as a decoy so it's engines will attract the space monster

It happens more often than you'd think. There were a lot of people who missed the Broom Kid's force-pull at the end of TLJ too.

I know using eyes and ears takes effort but I don't have an eidetic memory or anything here and even I remeber Han literally turns to the camera to tell the audience what the gently caress he's about to do with that escape pod and why.

Are you guys even sure you'd be able to follow along with a Lord & Miller cut at this rate?

Based on the box office results 50% of the sales have been to Jivjov. At least the Lord and Miller cut has a good excuse for why no one is watching it.

Han shot it as a decoy to bait the monster into charging too close to the gravity well.

Episode 9 is definitely gonna have a death star as well. Every this one is a solar system and can destroy a Galaxy probably? That ups the stakes

I dunno if a cameo as a hologram is enough to count TFA as "containing the Death Star"

And by your own metric, TFA is disqualified on the same grounds as R1.

I'm thinking a massive force bomb like from the Jedi vs. Sith comic. Except aimed at All Life as We Know It. It seems to be a good way to cap off the whole series that's centered around ridiculous superweapons and the underdogs who fight them.

Space Edit: Just remembered one of the first fake scripts for TLJ claimed that Snoke's evil plan (besides 'not' getting sliced up like a WCW Saturday Night jobber) was to use Kylo's connection to the force as the Force's grandson to power a force bomb-type scenario to murder all life in the universe, kinda like how Jesus' connection to all life as God was used to purge all sin. It was an interesting plot that I was sorry to see not be used actually.

Its a Superweapon, like the Death Star(s). But being in the same category as the Death Star does not make Starkiller Base a Death Star.

The Death Star was an artificial battle station; Starkiller Base is the planet Ilum an unnamed planet converted into a superweapon.
