I want to see some average people living on an alien planet in the Star Wars universe go about their lives as this space war happens around them.

Like the planet is real spooky to us the audience but they're just driving to work and watching the news and some space ships crash outside town and they shrug

Time and again, it’s shown that Star Wars fans misunderstand even the most basic events of the films. You must unlearn what you have learned from Wookieepedia.

‘Jumping to hyperspace’ takes a long time to prepare, and requires that you be very clear of obstacles. That’s why Han spends a bunch of time getting clear of Tatooine. Imperial ships use their superior speed to hunt down and disable ships before they can jump. That’s what’s happening in the opening scene: the rebels are trying to hold off the Imperial ship long enough to jump, but the Imperials disable their main reactor before they can do that.

It’s repeatedly emphasized that this is a typical confrontation. Imperials are extremely good at outrunning and capturing ships, leaving the victims with no choice but to jettison their cargo and hope for the best. That’s why the Imperials on the Death Star are unsurprised when the Falcon arrives empty, missing its escape pods. Han is specifically boasting that his ship is fast enough to avoid this outcome.

It’s not. The Millenium Falcon is big and slow enough to be classified as a freighter - a type of big, clunky boat known for being big and slow. Han has evidently done “some modifications” to make it faster than a normal freighter, but that’s still slow.

It’s not a supersonic fighter jet; it’s got a fuckin lounge area. Han is not a supergenius inventor capable of turning the boat from Captain Phillips into a time machine. He’s lying.


Like, let’s do some maths here. Greedo says that the Falcon is worth less than 10,000 space dollars; since Han doesn’t have Jabba’s money, Jabba might settle for just taking the Falcon.

Maybe 10,000 space bucks is a massive, unprecedented amount of money? Maybe Han is just that badly in debt? Nope; 10,000 isn’t even enough to buy the worst available ship:

“10,000? We could almost buy our own ship for that!”

Q: Why is this one-of-a-kind, fastest ship in the universe worth so little?

A: Because it’s not the fastest ship in the universe. Han is lying.

my take on last Jedi:

watching the last Jedi right now and who the hell are all these new characters and why are they being introduced in the second of three movies?

Why does John boyega wake up and immediately try to run away and steal a ship from his friends?

Theres another emperor, with the lightning? All British people are evil in space?

Why is EVERYONE so ugly/uncharismatic?

Wait are these two different girls??


why would they cast two identical-

Also I've been watching Emilia Clark get naked and yell "dragons" for so long now I feel like we know each other. Like if I saw emmlia Clark and Emma Watson at the grocery store together I'd be "oh hey what's up guys" and keep walking

More last Jedi chat: oscar issac is a Hispanic guy whose answer to every problem is violence and shooting people. benicio del toro is a Hispanic guy in prison who's really dirty and good at stealing things. What a progressive movie.

Also there's a dumpy Asian girl who is our new best friend because we met her 12 minutes ago and she said the word "resistance."

We know that we're supposed to have "feelings" because the music changes, also there are animals who are our friends

The Asian girl has to pay benicio de toro with her necklace she likes a lot and John boyega gets upset because "you don't know how much that meant to her"

I also don't know how much that meant to her, or remember her name. I don't know any of these character's names. I can only refer to them as [RACE][GENDER].

Hispanic Guy explains that everyone is bad and that's why he's greedy and likes stealing in what is again just, such a progressive movie here by Disney
