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

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

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

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

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

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

It's also an homage to the Flash Gordon serials

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

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

Star Wars V is best Star Wars though

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

Rogue One

And yes, Star Wars V is best

Rogue One was trash

I enjoyed it

Still better than TLJ though

I hate that it was named rogue one though

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

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

I was disappointed from that aspect

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

And jyn has a booty

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.

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

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

I just hate how they steal everything from the EU

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

Ben especially

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

Yeah, they kind of wrote themselves out of that one

Because Mara Jade is too sexy to be diverse.

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.

Why did Disney ever have to touch Star Wars?

Best thing in TLJ was "your parents were junk dealers that sold you for booze money."

Kylo spitting the super hot fire

But Abrams isn't going to let that stand. She's going to be retconned into Luke's kid or somesuch.

Fucking kill me now

Ohh but not just his kid

I mean, at least it would explain S O M E of her Mary Sue abilities

His kid that he created on his own using the force.

Stop, please, I can see them in the boardroom now
