re: How many franchises has JJ ruined now?

quote:The prequels do mention that; the OT has an Imperial garrison on Tatooine, along with "the local bulk cruisers". Stormtroopers are directing traffic looking for the droids, and nobody seems interested or disturbed in that.
The prequels and original trilogy both mention the hutts control the outer rim and that they’re not part of the Republic/Empire.
That tells me that Tatooine is a part of the Empire, like Grand Isle is part of the US. Might not get a lot of attention in the capitol, but it's under Imperial jurisdiction.
quote:second movie, which means you go an entire movie without learning that. And all it states is that you have companies and dealers selling arms to combatants... of course you do. Fighters and such don't grow on trees.
TLJ mentions how the arms dealers are double-dealing both sides.
quote:So, 2 main movies, and now we're going into a side movie released after those.
Solo goes in detail about Spice smuggling and the slave trade under the empire.
So the point remains, none of this is addressed or explained at all, when you initially view TFA.
quote:And I don't think "slavery" is an issue at all in the JJ trilogy, unless you're going for the stormtroopers.
The prequels mention slaving repeatedly as something not tolerated in the republic, especially in TPM.

That’s a pretty big caveat. I mean, one of the main characters in TFA is a slave soldier. Enslaving these less-developed outer-rim worlds is literally how the First Order builds its army. Kinda a big deal, isn’t it? Slavery is also a theme in the whole idiotic casino planet shenanigans in TLJ.
As for the imperial garrison on tatoinne, ANH mentions that was a recent thing. They were only there because they were chasing the droids. This is not an established imperial base. Tatooine is basically Casablanca.

He was on the Back to the Future reunion today, he needs to stay away from it.
