know this is nitpicky, but that scene had little to no emotional effect on me since we had so little information about the system and its inhabitants


I agree 100%. I said almost exactly that in my OP.

Think about the amazing holy frick moment if we had an entire first movie exploring that solar system and building up Hux and Ren and Snoke on the outer system.

Then they made TFA.

You get everyone invested and liking the new republic and then you bring down the theater when Starkiller Base wipes that entire system out.

Instead, we never even saw much less cared about that place and it was a tiny explosion in the sky and then the movie moved on and never talked about it again.

absolutely this

unless they plan to have the next episode to do like the original SW movie did with a new hope and with this shite they could go back in time before TLJ to do exactly as you just said and lay out the whole thing for us so TLJ can finally at least make sense if not still be the worst directed SW movie ever, it would at least salvage it to some degree along the lines of TFA where we can ignore how bad it was as long as it fills in the story line properly.

they better also damn well explain how rhen is a more powerful jedi then even luke is without even knowing how to use the force

i really doubt this is what they have in mind for the 2nd disney SW episode, but i hope they realize this is what they must do to keep SW fans coming back, otherwise there will be many empty seats at the next release and the 3rd disney SW episode will have to be scrapped and not even released

It’s no different than when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan in ANH.
