The Mandalorian did this with an AT-ST walker before (and also a TIE Fighter), but it's nice to see this sort of thing again.

By the Force, Abrams is such a fucking hack.

Not every threat should be both over the top and background trivial just because Glup Shitto has a Midi-Chlorian count of over 9000. live-slug-reaction

Oh yeah that was a thing in the one Star War movie, Palpy summons like a billion star destroyers because he like owns or something lol

Secretly built a fleet of Star Destroyers that can also blow up planets like Death Stars because WHAT ELSE CAN THEY THINK OF?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

I have yet to see that one, my interest in the war in our stars kind of died out after the D I S C O U R S E (read:G*mer malding) over TLJ

I hate Star Wars so much, but that's just because I had all these amazing ideas for what they could do with the setting and it's just the same damn thing every time

God, for being "kid's movies" it's like they never sat down with a kid and actually got some good ideas for it

I know kid me would have been so disappointed to see the ending of TLJ and been like "I could be a hero too?, and then having the rug pulled out from under me with ROS

Lucas dismissing them as "kid's movies" always came off as deepling disingenuous. My dude you made a movie about the Weimar Republic falling to fascism where half the scenes are people talking to each other in a giant legislature hall. I know you're a dork but you 100% do not believe it's "Just a kids movie".

From what I gather Disney got pretty scared after TLJ so they nuked it by bringing back Abrams and demanded he make something to make the G*mers happy...but he lost his sauce too and made a big ol' stinky.

Pretty much

Especially with how you would be going into the movie and get caught completely off guard with the return of Emperor Palpatine

Unless you'd been playing Fortnite a week before the movie came out and saw the in-game announcement that Emperor Palpatine was back and in charge of The First Order

Could you just shoot him? Sick of his bullshit.

Nope, they had the Star Destroyer fleet project a giant TV screen where ol' Sheev yelled at everyone

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Fucking Palpy is so annoying I STG, go get some more work done at the EmpSuRecon center you old fuck https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Emperor_Palpatine_Surgical_Reconstruction_Center

You can tell that Phantom Menace is a movie for babies because it has a cartoon rabbit, race cars, and the implication that electoralism ever worked.

Honest to god that movie really made me reevaluate a lot of my opinions and criticisms of star wars world building up to that point. It's not exactly a hot take that star wars is kinda fudgy on physics and that "the empire" and "the rebels" were kind of vaguely defined in the OT to sort of let you fill in the gaps and project what you wanted but I never really questioned the basic physical possibility of how these groups could physically exist in their world based on the information we had.

How the fuck did Palpatine build the death star destroyer fleet??? Where did he find people to man it??? Even if AOTC for all you may criticize didn't just go "lol clone machine go wrrrrrrr!!! Armies appear and go boom boom!"

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

They never should have introduced droid/clone armies. Really ruined the drama and suspense of any battle. The Hoth battle is a desperate delaying action so people can escape but like when you can just clone up a whole army who cares if you lose a battle.

Eh..I disagree. If anything I feel like it just adds to the scrappiness/underdog status of the rebels. Every man and woman in the rebel alliance ( a few exceptions not withstanding) is a person who was convinced to join the cause. How can they compete with such a dominating totalizing force that can just grow more ground troops in a tank?

...where there's a will and the force is on your side...there's a way!

Edit: also if you want to get technical at that point it isnt just clone troops but I put that aside cause obviously that's extended universe nitty gritty that's secondary canon anyway.

I'm sure it was all explained very well in Fortnite.
