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?

I remember all their movies fairly well unlike this trash.

Episode 9, they build the solar system super weapon than can destroy galaxies, which the rebels take out with a starkiller base, which the first order takes out with a death star, which the rebellion takes out with the millennial falcon, which is taken out by a tie fighter advanced, which is taken out by Rey with a lightsaber, who is taken out by Poe Dameron on a double date where Finn sulks about his girlfriend he doesn't like.

Finn super isn't into Rose, but he doesn't know what to do about it because he spent the first 25 years of his life as a brainwashed stormtrooper.

i dont think the space battle in rogue one was that great

it had some cool imagery like the massive swarms of tie fighters launching and the part where they try to get through the gate before it closes but the winning :master: was just kinda eh

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
the next superweapon the first order will build will be the Pedant Star, which can only be destroyed by somebody who distinguishes between a death star and a superweapon that looks and functions exactly the same as a death star

Is Ilum not officially SKB?

Nope; they've hinted at it ALL over the place (including having "Starkiller Base origin system" line up on the new Canon maps exactly where Ilum was on the old Legends maps), but the closest thing they've done to confirming it is Leland Chee saying something to the effect of "They sure have a lot in common..." in response to a point blank question on Twitter.

Either they're saving that for a "big reveal" in a future project, or they've just decided that that would be one bridge too far in old Legends references.

What they're saying is that it's not the size of Death Star 1 by the way of comparison. Like Death Star 2, it's a bigger Death Star.

I don't think you did.

For example, with that scene I bet you missed what a scumbag Finn is, since he knew about the new planet-busting weapon the whole time and made no effort to warn people about it.

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear series did something like that in its first book "Eaten Alive"

A planet named D'vouran isn't exactly subtle, is it?

Accurately recalling something from a film is "making a massive fool of myself"? I think its much more foolish to insist that something false is in fact true. Though I guess if it works for the President of the United States it can work for a forums poster too...

If the emperor turned to the camera in return if the Jedi and said "This isn't a bigger death star, it's a super laser station" you'd believe him too and say it's not a death star.
