Re: Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

He is talking about starkiller base (“planet sized Death Star”)

The First Order didn't neglect the weakness in Starkiller Base. It was heavily shielded. Had Han and Chewie not disabled the shields then the attack would have failed and the Resistance base on D'Qar would have been destroyed.

Re: Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

Why have shields at all if they're so easily disabled by the Resistance?

Let's just admit it - Star Wars villains are almost always the dumbest villains in cinematic history. They waste time and resources building these complicated super-weapons that can be easily defeated by a ragtag band of pipsqueaks who happen to know how to channel a little space magic.

Bond villains say hello.

It isn't that they're dumb, it is that they're overconfident. Same as most Bond villains.

Possibly but it looks like Kylo Ren has the rebel scum down to about 50 fighters if the final scene in last Jedi are showing all that's left.

He's making Palpatine proud😈

Mostly true, but there are more Resistance fighters out there. Not everyone who evacuated D'Qar went to that one rendezvous point, and the First Order only tracked Leia's ship.

The only real war crime in Ep3 is Natalie Portman somehow looks awful, which should not be possible even for Alan Smithee.

Do you mean Keira Knightley? Or Natalie Portman? Or both? Edit: my bad, KK was in Ep 1, not 3.

Wasn't the point of showing the kid in the stables that as long as there is hope, the Resistance will never die?

Hey KK was the decoy in the movie. You cannot deny they look more than similar.

Now as far as acting abilities, the difference is vast.

I figured it was toy placement.

I don't see it:



The one on the right is lovely. The one on the left was my waitress at the Titled Kilt last night.

Yes. They're like cockroaches they can survive nuclear holacaust. Ren's going to have to up his game in order to finish what Vader started😆

to be fair, it should have been impossible for them to drop out of hyperspace inside the shields.

dropping out of hyperspace in planet's atmosphere seems impossible considering what we know about how FTL travel works in Star Wars. And even dumber, apparently the precise time to drop out of hyperspace was calculated in Han Solo's head, since he said "now" and manually threw a switch, despite the fact that they'd be traveling so fast that his reaction time would have to be impossibly fast to time it right.

Space wizards. It's a movie about wizards in space and the people around them. You need some form of that suspension of disbelief going into these things.

Not wizards. Just special pharmacolgists.
