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.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
it's always a Death Star
There are so many terrifying things about the Star Wars universe
Assassin droids, space vampires, super-powered clones, incurable plagues, Wolfmans, and green rabbit guys
But it's always a Death Star!
Zombies too.
Zombie Death Star
ACTUALLY there was a star wars for kid's book about a small living planet that tried to eat these space kids that somehow got on it, waaaay more interesting than the pew pew star.
Yeah, those Galaxy of Fear books were pretty cool
Sucks because I have a soft spot for zombies, well had, now that it's been beaten to death.
One of my main critiques about the OT, and almost all subsequent media. You can't do anything bigger than a Death Star. Narratively blowing up a planet in one shot is the biggest bad thing that can happen that's still on a scale people can make sense of. So many Star Wars products have focused on a Big Dumb Object.
