I remember seeing nerds on the internet arguing that the shields on the uss enterprise could easily deflect the death star beam, and then thinking "this is the dumbest nerd poo poo ever" Who could have guessed that that discussion would be topped, and in a mainstream star wars release no less, by this thread lol just kidding it's death star destroyers

Blistex posted:/\ Did anyone ever find any "proof" that Snoke was supposed to make it to the end of the trilogy and be the main antagonist? Palpatine seems to be a tacked-on hail Mary play to win back fans. sheeve is a tacked on hail mary. there was some intevew that came out a few days ago with ian mcdermid and he basicaly said they called him up one day after tlj and asked if he wanted to give it another go. Chomp8645 posted:Even in Nu-canon the Empire didn't immediately collapse after Endor. I don't know how long it's supposed to be between Endor and Jakku but the Empire is supposed to intact and mostly stable until at least that point. sorta. basicaly most of the high command die at endor and the big fleet remnants get hosed up at jakku because of sheeves mad king bullshit. a bunch flee off to uknown regions and a ton throw down their weapons and join the senate and gently caress it up from the inside. also the mandalorian shows the empire sorta exists in bits and pieces in the outer rim. Owlbear Camus posted:I would assume most of them are leftovers who were serving under whatever General or Admiral or Moff decided to be Warlord of their little piece of the pie after it crumbled post-Endor. old canon was full of that poo poo. the empire goes on for like another 10 or so years in different factions and such.

It has a tiny amount of Phase 2 Clone Trooper armor in the bucket, the asymmetry on the pauldrons is also Clone-esque and the chest is closer to a TK than an FO in some ways, mostly greebs. You have to be a gigantic nerd who has built this sort of poo poo to notice any of it. It's a red FO trooper lol.

Saint Drogo posted:you do have to look hard to see it's not a recolour. They go well with the First Order TIE fighters, which are just normal TIE fighters with their colors inverted. They're Sith troopers because Palpatine is the Sith Master, and they're red because his guards wore red, so his entire secret army does, too.

The only thing I'm looking forward to, in a positive way, is if Palpatine is really animated by a big shadowy robot arm jammed into his spine. That sounds cool and horrific

i heard ray kills palpatine by deflecting his lightning back at him with a lightsaber and then he explodes while shrieking noo if thats true and as campy as I'm imagining it this movie might take the prize for worst star wars moment ever, finally ending the the three way tie between vaders noo, that alien horse farting in jar jars face and the entire run time of force awakens

How are they going to explain leia dying anyway? Will the opening crawl mention that although she used the force to fly back to the ship she still died from space radiation a few days later?

It's explained in the novelization that a lifetime of Midichlorian abuse was too much for her to take, and that abuse finally caught up to her.
