But is Star Wars really dying ? Come the fuck on, it's more lucrative than ever (OH VEYYYY). But yeah, it's also getting more casualized than ever.

JJ is a Jew and doesn't like working with white actors so this is technically correct, the dindu is there only because a Jew wills it, but that's a shitty strawman if I ever saw one. Identity politics doesn't belong in Star Wars.

imo that somewhat made sense, sheev only funded it because a moff (can't remember his name) found a way to make it better in every way and cheaper at the same time. plus, it was how the empire kept control of the galaxy without a senate, so they kind of needed it.
this is just straight up riding the coattails.

Bigger question is, have the First Order used the Starkiller base often?

Is JJ gonna allow the First Order to have destroyed a ton of important star systems or will the Resistance stop it from doing any damage.

If you haven't noticed, that's JJ's MO. I don't need rumors to guess that shit. They had Han Solo almost look directly into the camera in that teaser and say "We're home!".

So it's a planet itself, and can only fire from its orbit around a star. Somehow it can fire over a distance of lightyears to hit stars/planets.
How does the laser itself travel faster than light, or does it take years to reach its target? Or maybe the laser passes through a wormhole that the weapon creates… seems like the only way.

"HEY GUYS YOU KNOW ALL THOSE PLANETS FROM THE PREQUELS WELL THE FIRST ORDER BLEW THEM UP! YUP ITS LIKE THE WHOLE FUCKING ERA NEVER HAPPENED"
They're obviously trying very hard to scrub away as much of the prequel era content as they can without overriding canon. I'd bet they'd pull that.

Any and all attempts to "scrub away the prequels" is going to be in your face and cringe worthy. It's amazing that people don't see warning signs like this as major redflags. They aren't trying to make something that's good, they're trying to appease people in anyway they think they can.

We've already seen Kylo without the mask, dummy. Luke is literally in the movie for less than a minute and it's the very last scene. It also feels more like a Marvel credits stinger than a Star Wars scene.

Although, I don't mind her being here as much as I do Han. He looks out of place.
Ford starred in too many movies and is basically Ford first and his movie character second.
Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammil, on the other hand, are mainly remember as Leia and Luke so it's cool they got into the movie.
Having Ford in is like having Tom Cruise at this point.
