I am 100% positive that speeder blasters are NOT as powerful as X-wing blasters.

The speeder isn't a space craft, it's just a world craft.

But that's as far as my nerd-dom on this goes.

Yup, they just couldn't use X-wings on Hoth because they wouldn't function in that cold a climate. The blasters on the Speeders were far weaker than those on an X-wing.

Hoth is colder than space?

Hoth is colder than space?
Space doesn't have a bunch of water and water vapor that can seep into cracks and components then freeze.

I also think they had no reason to use (waste) their X-Wings on Hoth. They were evacuating; not trying to win the battle.

No humidity in space.

good thing they put in dehumidifiers in the x-wings for Starkiller base.

The conditions were quite different if we are splitting hairs.

No one could be out with bareskin on Hoth cause they would freeze to death.

While Rey and Finn both had bare skin during their fight with Kylo.

true. The Second Order should find a colder base planet for Starkiller II.

Hopefully they'll avoid one that has an indigenous civilization of cute but primitive teddy bears.

I don't disagree that the differences are humorously small, but that is a noticeable difference.

Also, as someone else said. They were pulling off Hoth, not attacking anything. If I remember correctly they had a few x-wings in the hanger bay that got blown up or left, just as the AT-ATs showed up.

Saw a fan breakdown today that had a little bit of a reach in terms of a theory, but ...




Sure looks like Yoda sitting "indian style". Could it be a force ghost?

Personally, I think it's a weird shaped rock, but I would be excited if that were the case.


Edit - guess you can't include an image in a spoiler tag. Probably doesn't need one anyway.

Poor Bors. Better not risk another frontal assault. That rabbit's dynamite.

sooo can we speculate how much time has elapsed since rookie Rey gave him that scar and how much it's healed in that pic from The Last Jedi?

Maybe Rey's training takes longer than 3 days

I wouldn't put too much thought into that scar. Bacta is pretty much the heal all in the Star Wars universe and I would imagine the medical technology in general is much further along than what we have now.

Yes, I think speculation is fine. ET-hands stunt double Rey has obviously been training for more than a few days.

Did they keep the make shift beehive huts they constructed in Ceann Sibal for filming? Or did they remove the set after filming? Remember reading that the townspeople wanted to keep them as a tourist attraction...

The scar was moved by the director for aesthetic purposes.

not sure if spoiler but

I have seen a couple of places saying that there will be a time jump during the movie. I wonder what purpose it serves? will it be to further Reys training with less screen time? Maybe a Rocky working out montage and Kylo on the flip side of it
