Wait, so this fucker was going to have a gigantic planet that could wipe out entire solar system AND a fleet of thousands of Star Destroyers, each with a death star laser equipped?
Seems a bit overkill, no? Who the fuck was he trying to fight with that? Galactus? Seems you could have gotten one project done a lot sooner by investing in it completely and not going for both, like a retard.
It's almost like the trilogy wasn't planned out or something.
Yeah, they let retards plan this one
>Qui-gon jin is a nothing character, so phantom menace bad
>force awakens has amazing characters like snoke
>this is everything I wanted!
some book or whatever had him being a prepper for a giant horde of dark part of the universe bug swarm or something and that was kind of neat, was.
That was in the EU. It's not canon anymore and it was fucking stupid that there was a race of Force-immune creatures that could attack the entire galaxy living outside in the void of space.

Why not a fucking Death Hole? A Death Quasar? A Death Belt? What the actual fuck was he thinking. It vastly reduces the significance of the tech too. So you can somehow SHRINK all that infrastructure down to any normal spaceship? Why even built such a big fucking Death Star? Was it just to flex muscle pointlessly?
What a fucking hack director. He didn't even give a shit about the sequels after TFA. If he actually cared he would have directed the second one, not skip it over like a faggot who doesn't care for narrative consistency (which all directors SHOULD).
He is a hack and I don't want to defend him, but tech does get more compact as it gets more advanced. Remember that the first computers were the size of a room, now you can fit hundreds of times more processing power in your pocket. Rise of Skywalker is still ass though.
Why didn't Palps just work with the Imperial Remnant? Why did he set everything up to fail with the retard Gallius Rex?
It is supposed to be a deterrent, dont fuck with us or get nuked.
>build spaceships so shit their instruments can't tell which the planet is
>fill those ships with morons who can't feel gravity and tell which side is up
SHEEEEEEEVVVVV
Yes, but the gap between a fucking Death Star and a Star Destroyer? You already assume the Death Planet is superior because it's bigger. The destroyed Death Star in RoS isn't even accurately sized - it should be too enormous to even scale.
>That was in the EU. It's not canon anymore
Thrawn is now canon. The only reason Thrawn joined the Empire was because he thought they were the best bet to fight the invasion that his race had foreseen.
So the invasion of the galaxy by an evil force seems to be canon at this point, unless they just did away with why Thrawn joined the empire in the first place.
It really fucking angers me that they're picking and choosing little bits of the EU to put into Mouse Wars with no consideration to the fact this shit only worked in the EU because of the backstory in the EU, you can't just take Thrawn out of the EU and plop him into Mouse Wars and have it make sense without his original motivations.
>plan
Yep, the Yuuzhan Vong. It was one of the better concepts around the Star Wars expanded universe.
shit analogy.
not all tech gets smaller the more advanced it is like computers.
What pisses me off if why not just make it a device that eats suns? That alone would fuck up any solar system, and it's something new, while fitting into the the light/dark theme of Star Wars. Why make devouring suns the method by which it charges and THEN tack on another stupid death star laser. So pointless. Abrams is a hack.
Also, wouldn't anyone be able to easily destroy Starkiller by just hijacking one of the death star star destroyers? Fuck you JJ
They were just referencing the part of World War 2 where Hitler snuck away at the last minute and built a new Nazi Germany somewhere else and had it ready to go
I have never seen or heard anyone say any of these things, and I spend a lot of time online reading people's opinions about bullshit like star wars
I said he was a hack, assholes.
It's even stupider that the First Order essentially won in TLJ and conquered the Galaxy, so there's no real need to destroy anything as the Resistance isn't that strong at the beginning of TROS.
All JJ needed to do, after committing to bringing Palpatine back (which is stupid, but regardless), is focus on Palpatine taking over the First Order and making that the plot of the movie. Instead, he has Palpatine just outright do it in Act 1 and difusing Kylo Ren and the First Order entirely.
Motherfucker doesn't know how to write.
>unless they just did away with why Thrawn joined the empire in the first place.
They did. Also the Vong being the reason Thrawn joined the empire was a retcon that came after the Thrawn trilogy was written.
It's almost like Star Wars doesn't really make sense.
It's fantasy in space. Except for some reason hack directors don't know how to write for it.
>What pisses me off if why not just make it a device that eats suns?
They did.....

thinking disney cares lol
The Sun Crusher was a nearly indestructible craft that was no larger than a starfighter, but was capable of unleashing destruction on a magnitude that dwarfed even the Death Star's capabilities. Unlike the Death Star, which destroyed individual planets, the Sun Crusher could destroy an entire star system by causing its target star to turn into a supernova. The key to its near invincibility was layered Quantum-crystalline armor, a material so strong that it could perfectly repel even turbolaser shots. Han Solo once was able to ram the Sun Crusher straight through the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Hydra without taking any damage, and during the skirmish in the Maw, it even survived a glancing blow from the Death Star prototype's Superlaser, which likely would have destroyed any other ship it touched. The Sun Crusher took some damage to the engines, but was able to continue to fight. The Sun Crusher was also equipped with a hyperdrive and was designed to slip unnoticed into a system, fire its weaponry, and then escape before its presence was detected.
Man the EU fucking sucked.
Jedi Academy is one of the weaker series for sure. Still not as bad as the ST
A lot of people look fondly at the EU but it was some cringe worthy shit.
In my desperation for more star wars at one point I decided to read some of the EU book series. I read the one with han solos idiot kid becoming a sith lord and it was pretty awful but for some reason I kept going.
Then I started the next seven book series about some sith witch named abeloth and I had to tap out, it was just the most absurd fanfiction shit ever put on paper.
People were just desperate for more content, no matter how bad it was.
So why didn't Disney cherry pick and trim off all the cringe? There -are- good ideas to be found, as well as some interesting lore for the hell of it, to be found in the extended universe...
The entire trilogy was planned like a D&D campaign but the DM got sick one session and had to sub. It’s almost improvisational. They really did think they could put any old shit on the screen with zero consequences. How could we forget the dire tale of Palpatine’s return, “Somehow”? That’s the kind of thing a DM pulls when he’s out of ideas. He’s like a litch.
Final slap in the face of the OT though. Not only did every character end up an abject failure, they didn’t even kill the emperor in the first place. Literally everything is undone so this genderswap fanfic retread can even happen.
Somehow they did the opposite of that, finding the most retarded bullshit of the old EU and using it for the ST.
eg. Bringing Sheev back
JJ just wants to direct films for the sake of directing films, I swear. He's a capricious(film) little bitch. He did it to Star Trek. He just wants his name associated with it.
he still lost
Sheev won tho
>So why didn't Disney cherry pick and trim off all the cringe?
Hubris. Kennedy wanted to go it alone without owning any of the success to George or any other man, so they chunked 40 years of stories they could have picked though out of pride. Marvel kept their 70 years of storyboards and they’re successful, SW didn’t and they’re floundering.
Thats just Tyranids
