But they took half the movie to explain how evil the empire was

2018-01-06 03:38:21 UTC  

Usually the get you emotionally invested from the start

2018-01-06 03:38:28 UTC  

Which movie?

2018-01-06 03:38:33 UTC  

IV

2018-01-06 03:38:33 UTC  

But here's another question that TLJ brought up. Why bother with death Stars?

2018-01-06 03:38:46 UTC  

Oh they fucked up TLJ

2018-01-06 03:38:55 UTC  

just light speed into everything

2018-01-06 03:39:00 UTC  

Yep

2018-01-06 03:40:02 UTC  

Even though objects shift to a different plane of space when traveling through hyperspace, effectively ceasing to exist until they pop back out

2018-01-06 03:40:38 UTC  

It's cheper, harder to stop, hits like the first of an angry god, and you have more control of the destructive force.

2018-01-06 03:40:45 UTC  

Otherwise you could run into a small space rock in hyperspace and instantly atomize

2018-01-06 03:41:07 UTC  

The problem with the original trilogy: the rolling reading intro takes away all elements of initial story building.

2018-01-06 03:41:42 UTC  

Indeed. But if you ask that question you will be shouted down with "NERD! Thermian argument! It isn't real!"

2018-01-06 03:42:12 UTC  

It gets you up to speed so they can begin with an action scene and you know who the relevant players are

2018-01-06 03:42:24 UTC  

But you shouldn’t need to be brought up to speed

2018-01-06 03:42:48 UTC  

It's also an homage to the Flash Gordon serials

2018-01-06 03:42:57 UTC  

And being brought up to speed is better portrayed by letting the audience visually learn it, not telling them

2018-01-06 03:43:16 UTC  

I know, it just irks me that people don’t realize that

2018-01-06 03:43:26 UTC  

Star Wars V is best Star Wars though

2018-01-06 03:43:41 UTC  

At any rate, it's baked into the formula, so good luck getting rid of it.

2018-01-06 03:43:59 UTC  

Rogue One

2018-01-06 03:44:04 UTC  

And yes, Star Wars V is best

2018-01-06 03:44:16 UTC  

Rogue One was trash

2018-01-06 03:44:27 UTC  

I enjoyed it

2018-01-06 03:44:29 UTC  

Still better than TLJ though

2018-01-06 03:44:34 UTC  

I hate that it was named rogue one though

2018-01-06 03:44:52 UTC  

If you name a movie rogue one it better be about an x wing squadron dogfighting

2018-01-06 03:45:27 UTC  

That's what I first thought of when I heard the name

2018-01-06 03:45:41 UTC  

I was disappointed from that aspect

2018-01-06 03:46:10 UTC  

But it had a good, if not cluttered story, it was enjoyable, the characters were relatable, etc

2018-01-06 03:46:45 UTC  

And jyn has a booty

2018-01-06 03:50:58 UTC  

I don't know whether I'm sad that Disney hasn't brought back Billy Dee Williams as Lando, or glad that they haven't ruined his character like they did to Luke and Leiah.

2018-01-06 03:51:47 UTC  

Would be good to save until they get their crap in order.

2018-01-06 03:52:44 UTC  

Though I fear when it is done they will announce they are going to reboot the entire Nonology

2018-01-06 03:53:06 UTC  

I just hate how they steal everything from the EU

2018-01-06 03:53:39 UTC  

To be fair, in the EU the solo kids were always annoying little shits.

2018-01-06 03:54:02 UTC  

Ben especially

2018-01-06 03:54:21 UTC  

But they can't steal Luke smashing the hottest redhead he could find.

2018-01-06 03:54:46 UTC  

Yeah, they kind of wrote themselves out of that one

2018-01-06 03:55:06 UTC  

Because Mara Jade is too sexy to be diverse.

2018-01-06 03:55:54 UTC  

Unless they want to claim there was a kid of his he never mentioned, and oh my god, I think that's probably exactly what they're going to do.
