Look at the size of that thing!

that small

has 1g/atmosphere/biosphere

what

Blowing up habitable planets is the stupidest idea ever, losing entire settled worlds forever just to dab on some rebels. Fucking retarded

Your death star is so fat that it has masslock like a planet

Its SW, no part of it is accurate.

OUCH, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

It's made of 99% denseonium, the engine only material denser than the average harem anime protag

Only time its not a retarded move is when there's bunch of force sensitive sissies (jedis) out there in the planet. If there is, you better blow it up fast as the Sith. Probably not a resource heavy place that's useful anyways and their natives are usually backwater savages with no interest to the Empire.

make a giant ball that can be attacked from every single direction including up and down diagonally etc

what a dumb decision desu

trick a bunch of dumb jedi into meeting on a planet

blow it up

WORKS EVERY TIME

Is rogue squadron actually worth playing? as a fan of ace combat it looks like a retard baby game.

As opposed to any other shape in space? A globe is probably the most logical shape for space combat

But that's even dumber. How can something so small have mountains, forests, a fucking ocean. Hell, I think even an atmosphere wouldn't be able to form since it's mass isn't big enough to hold it.

The First Order (Actually Palpatine) build a massive fleet and a super death star.

At the same time he was also building a super secret fleet of star destroyers that are also death stars.

Somehow.

How the fuck did he lose against the rebellion when he seems capable of conjuring entire fleets out of his ass?

The thing is basically a fleet killer. Any conventional attempt to destroy it would have failed utterly.

guys, we need to up the stakes in this return to form reboot of one of the most popular series ever created

I've got it! Let's remake a new hope!

instead of a space station the size of a moon that can destroy a planet, it's the exact same thing except BIGGER and it can fire ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE GALAXY! It's a death PLANET!

oh and nevermind how it was constructed with literally no awareness from the new government. This supposed weapon to end all weapons the SIZE OF A PLANET. Nobody pay any attention to the fact that the empire was supposedly crushed oblivion in episode 6. Fuck that, nobody cares about that and we know since nobody bought the fucking ewok dolls.

Hackery. Worse in my opinion than TLJ. Rogue one is probably the only good star wars media to have come out since battlefront 2 for the fucking ps2.

Starkiller Base is dumb and retarded

yeah?

Rogue One is fucking awful. The only marginally redeeming factor is an OT space battle in HD CGI

Because of shitty writing

Honestly, the idea could have worked if it was stolen from the new republic. Like the New Republic build it and it was hi jacked by the first order. You know, actually have them operate like a terrorist cell with limited resources.

Why yes, it would have been a good idea for the heroes we like to build a superweapon exactly like the Death Star but biggerer as soon as they retook power.

Mon Mothma was always a Napoleonic power monger.

trying to make sense of nustarwars written by faggot DEI retards

anon.....

I liked it purely because it was just a WW2 spy movie masquerading as a star wars movie with way less masturbatory force nonsense aside from the Chinese action movie star blind monk bullshit. Everything else was decent. It's not amazing but it's better than anything else they've put out.

an ancient weapon or some shit, sure. Some type of lostec is always an asspull but it would've been more interesting than

there are empire remnants

somehow these remnants have enough resources to make a galaxy ending superweapon completely unnoticed

another JJ asspull which they tried to cover in out of film lorebooks saying that there was a sith cultist base that cloned the emperor and they worshiped him. They also somehow had shipbuilding tech and wanted to man and conquer the galaxy for him. stupid stupid stupid

Lucas was an idiot who needed constraints but I miss his weird vision.

Andor makes R1 look like the piece of garbage it is

I mean, it would have at least given a reason for the Resistance to be a thing. Have them start off as a opposition party made up of former rebel die hards that oppose the republic building a giant super weapon of their own.

Again, that would require the new republic to actually be a thing. Instead of something they can conveniently get rid of so the entire universe is in a state of chaos where the first order isn't in charge of anything but they can basically do whatever they want.

I thought you meant something from the old republic, the new republic doesn't really make any sense if they're trying to be the good guys and just did this whole song and dance twice.

there are empire remnants

I don't understand why they didn't just have the empire remnant function like a actual remnant. Like, I get they just wanted a repeat of the Empire vs Rebellion but there had to be a less ham-fisted way of doing it.

another JJ asspull which they tried to cover in out of film lorebooks saying that there was a sith cultist base that cloned the emperor and they worshiped him

Ah yeah, that whole thing.

They also somehow had shipbuilding tech and wanted to man and conquer the galaxy for him.

I like the idea that they apparently outproduced every single political faction in the universe.

Lucas was an idiot who needed constraints but I miss his weird vision.

He had moments of brilliance, even as a writer. I always love the scene in a New Hope with the Imperial generals talking about the Death Star. So much exposition about the state of the Empire, the relation between the underlying people, and even the way the force is viewed as a whole is delivered in a few minutes in a way that feels perfectly natural.

I think that is what they were going for. Since actually writing a story about the difficulties of running a Republic and being the legitimate government was too much effort.

Either way: Lame.

They didn't sense a disturbance in the force, not an issue.

the issue is that they think the reason people liked the original trilogy was the underdog nature of the first couple movies. Yeah it was important but there is so much more to be done than the exact same story arc RETOLD. So they had to make the ruling new republic into the underdog resistance somehow and this was the only way the could write themselves out of the corner. Really stupid

and the OTHER theme that they absolutely fucked up was the

everyone can be a jedi. your lineage doesn't matter. Kenobi, skywalker, solo, palpatine, doesn't matter

Rey's parents are complete unknown nobodies but she's super good at being a jedi and using the force without a single ounce of training from literally anybody so it's super important when this kid a the end of the movie can pick up a mop with the force!!

actually nevermind she's palpatines granddaughter get fucked idiots you are all peasants with no force sensitivity compared to her noble lineage is all that matters EVER and she even chooses the name skywalker because she knows how it fucking works. Go work for jar jar bezos's distribution center and ship out some droid parts

can't do a single thing right

they sure didn't sense dozens of turbo cannons powering up and pulverizing the atmosphere lmao

How did the First Order carve out an entire plant like that without the rest of the galaxy noticing?

I think it's not just the fondness for the underdog nature of the heroes, but the negative reception to the political stuff in the prequel trilogy(Which I always think is a really dumb criticism but that's besides the point). They were terrified of having to include a scene where they had to explain "New republic can't do shit because politics" so they just blew it up.

They also wrote the entire thing like a shonen. Where every conflict had to be the biggest and largest thing possible and it could only be topped by a even bigger threat. They could have written a story about the struggle between two quasi independent military groups fighting in the outer rim that eventually turns into a larger conflict.

Same way they build a fleet larger than the ruling galactic government.

The political stuff that seemed so hackneyed in the prequel 20 years ago seems prescient now.
More importantly, the prequels weren't the same plot as the original movies, just done dumber and worse.

I guess it was just a place where the FO amassed enough forces to keep republicans out
nevermind that they were sitting on 500 gigatons of ordinance, let's just leave them be...

People didn't like the political stuff in the prequels because George is a bad writer with all the subtlety of an elephant in a china shop

Everything in space can be attacked from every direction.

It's just ridiculous. It's barely been maybe 20, 25 years since they toppled the empire. The liberation of the galaxy would be an ongoing process. How could they not possibly be aware and just leave it be. So so dumb

he said too much and showed too little. The romance plot with anakin was also kind of hamfisted. The ideas were good but needed some sculpting but he had carte blanche at that point.

I don't recall seeing forests or oceans on Ilum.

Kylo and Rey were fighting in a forest at the end of the movie iirc

Its a shame such a cool game ended up on a piece of shit nintentranny console

The political stuff that seemed so hackneyed in the prequel 20 years ago seems prescient now.

To be honest, it was pretty prescient back then as well. People have joked about Attack of the Clones just being a Iraq war movie in disguise.

It's funny since, like I said, I honestly think he got it pretty right in A New Hope.

The romance plot with Anakin is easily the worst part of the movies. I get what he was going for with the whole knightly courtship thing but honestly this is something where a good old fashioned damsel in distress or even just action bringing people together would have been better.

People didn't watch Star Wars for politics we watched them for action and space sorcery and other weird pulpy shit. (Hot chicks in revealing outfits helped.)

Even more than the Iraq War, the "So this is how Democracy dies" line and watching Palpatine turn a vast free but poorly working republic into a functional but repressive empire.
