Some other moments I found interesting.

Kylo fighting an enemy who has a non-energy weapon (vong/Grisk?)



What/who is fixing his helmet? FO/Empire types are typically against any alien species.



Jet troopers!?



This may be some sort of training. One would think he be firing on her otherwise?




For your troubles...

Episode 8 does lip service to the gray.

The only thing that is resolved, is a ton of meaningless sacrifices that accomplish nothing.

And the timeless wisdom of Rose

And Leia Poppins.

And world-breaking Yoda who can now force lightning from beyond the grave. Why not just have the force ghosts March through the First order. . .force-choking all those bitches?

And Holdo the purple-haired giraffe. :yak:

I flip-flop between the SW Holiday Special and TLJ as the worst SW movies to date

You'll get no argument from me to that point.

Didn't catch that the first viewing but yeah I think so. I'm guessing that's the DS2 and not the original right? Also don't really look like Endor either but something that large falling down would change the landscape for sure. I just wonder how the New Republic didn't drag all the debris out? Surely it would be still sitting there after nearly 30 years right?


Didn't the DS 2 completely explode?

Thrawn is the next trilogy. Can't wait to see what Rian does with that.

I cannot wait to see what events lead to that stupidass scene.

I can Google fan boy nerd porn myself. There's no need for that it's just going to get the thread whacked or make people not click it. But I'd love to fire my blaster into that brunette storm trooper.

The New Republic is an absolutely inept pathetic shambles from the get go according to this Trilogy.

According to the novels as well.

Immediately following RotJ Mon Mothma decreases the size of the military by 90%.

That might be but I figured they'd want to study the technology and also help with the clean up on Endor but maybe they don't care about the ewoks

If Disney wanted to make a load cash they would do a Thrawn trilogy or go in the direction I had hoped was to bring the Yuuzhan Vong to the big screen.

Umm, well, you're going to need a big tow truck to pull that out


Just for visual scale reference,
Star Destroyer wreckage

Star Destroyer next to Vader's command ship

Vader's ship with the Death Star

Note- you hardly see any curve on the Death Star, it still looks flat

Death Star II


So, going up the ladder in scale- that dish is gigantic on a scale your eyes just aren't going to accept. I'd say quite honestly, that chunk of Death Star should be towering over a mountain range, and you wouldn't be able to breath without a mask if you climbed even halfway up.

You know what the worst part is?

The good in that trailer got me excited. That's what really sucks. Luke is alive and Kylo hunts down Palpatine? Awesome.

But I hate Rey and all of the characters and story lines from TLJ so much I just can't stay excited.

As many of us have said, Abrams needs to retcon all of TLJ out of existence in the beginning of the movie. It's the best way to move on.
