I think it says a lot about the sequel trilogy that several people seem to think Coruscant got blown up.

I legit thought Coruscant got blown up. I seem to remember now this has been a mistaken thing that we've discussed before on the Star Wars thread.
The initial plot for TFA had Coruscant being destroyed

I believe that planet was Hosnian Prime. Looked a lot like Coruscant though.
You know I'll say this for Starkiller Base while we're on the subject. It was only in operation for like 12 hours but at least it destroyed several planets. That's pretty good bang for your buck considering Death Star 1&2 combined for like 1.1 planets destroyed.
JJ wanted to destroy Coruscant (because of his hate boner for the prequels), but the LF story team vetoed it, and they ended up settling on the compromise of moving the capital to Hosnian Prime and destroying that. Which is the worst version of what could've been done.
I have multiple issues with it.
1. Moving the capital from Coruscant, where it had been for thousands of years in the lore, to a random new planet for absolutely no good in-universe reason.
2. The feeling that they didn't have the balls to destroy the real capital. (Probably should've just scrapped the capital from that scene completely.)
3. It was botched so badly that nobody even realizes it isn't Coruscant that gets destroyed, but the JJ knockoff.
Just terrible all around.

Yea what a freaking joke. You nailed it. Should have been scrapped altogether, or you need to fully commit. It was half assed, like most all of the ST was.
It's why it's a perfect microcosm of the whole sequel trilogy.
Poorly thought out, didn't land emotionally, confused the audience.
But, it did look cool.

Why'd you ask Leia how old she was, Obi-Wan? You were at her birth, dude.
That was seriously my biggest complaint.
This. Pretty sure he was just joking and not seriously asking how old she was.
Reading more about the Moses situation. Been thinking about where this hardcore racist/misogynist/etc. fandom of Star Wars originates. The same thing exists in D&D/gaming fandom. Also comics but I'd argue it's too a lesser extent.
I guess people whose self-definition has relied on being outsiders, whose social circle has always been incredibly insular, don't like it when things become more widely popular because they view it as being "watered down." They take that as a personal affront on their identity.
I dunno, just thinking out loud.

To try and get back on topic, do we think Leia gets dropped off relatively quickly in this next episode or is she going to be along for the ride all season? I'm hoping for the former but I fully expect the latter.
Said this a few pages back, but I think she gets dropped off literally in the first scene of the episode. I think that storyline has served its purpose. I think episode 3 will be Obi-Wan tracking down Vader (or surrending to Reva) to try and pull him back to the light.
To get a little philosophical, I think it's hard to separate the actual racism from just trolling from anonymous people online. Pretending to be racist just to say hateful things might also make you an actual racist, but there's a difference between actually having a hate for people of another race and just being an online troll saying the most hateful things they can think of.
But I've tried for a while to understand the point of being an anonymous internet troll and I've never really been able to get my mind there. Like, is it fun for them?

Your previous post is what made me think of it. But don't we already know they're proceeding to (somewhere) first? I seem to remember some kind of vague checkpoint, don't remember if it was a place or a person though.
It's the 4chan mentality which infects these idiots and then it leaks into real life.
It's been a huge part in the life of recent school shooters, the Aurora shooting, etc. Somehow 4chan is always a common denominator, and I guarantee most of these Reva trolls post there.
That place needs to be shut down permanently.

The LF story team vetoing something a filmmaker wants to do? I find that hard to believe ***looks at Last Jedi***Quote:

I noticed they used the "based on hours streamed" qualifier. I wonder if it only got that because of the two episodes dropping together?
Odd to qualify it otherwise.

Yeah this is a bit much.
No anger for the racist comments aimed at her? Just angry that Disney wants them to stop?

Transformers is really a decent comp for the ST. Similar plot mechanics.
Didn't we establish in the last film thaDOESN'T MATTER, THAT WAS LAST FILM.
Isn't Megatron dead? HE'S BACK.
But hoDOESN'T MATTER STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. IT WAS CLONING OR WHATEVER DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

Having said that, I do think ****ting on the child actor playing Leia is equally ridiculous. Just like Jake Lloyd back in 1999, she's doing exactly what she's asked to do, and doing it well. (Even better than Lloyd did, imo.)
People are talking **** about young Leia?
That's just crazy. She is the first child actor that hasnt annoyed me since opie on the Andy Griffith show.
Now if they want to talk **** about how she can't run...have at it that scene was terrible

Hopefully we are done with 9 to 5 Obi-wan. Driving his vehicle to the park-n-ride, then taking mass transit to his mind numbing job, clock in, work, clock out, then mass transit back to the park-n-ride, and finally back home.
Obi-Wan Dreams of Sushi wasn't your cup o' tea?
In one case, he's a secret agent. In this case, we have a Jedi.
Or maybe we're heading towards a Falling Down situation
It is absolutely stunning how irrational and untalented disney is across the board.jokershady said:great…..Disney has led Star Wars down the dark path of Michael Bay filmsbobinator said:

Oh and theyre most arrogant ********s too
I think everyone isn't thinking about this hard enough.
Reva was obviously part of Hayden Christensen's contract. He was determined he wouldn't be accused of giving the wooden performance this time. He's going to look like Freaking Leo DiCaprio in their scenes together.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Before your edit, the link was to an Instagram post for star wars visions
Oh, gotcha. Weird.
There you go. Nice, Ewan.
What is wrong with people, her part was largely written terribly thus far. It makes it seem like bad acting when directors/writers put out material that is doomed to fail. Her character is really bad but people need to **** off if they feel the need to personally attack someone over a tv show.
She wasn't responsible for terrible chase scenes, bad dialogue, cheesy parkour, etc.

I just can't imagine being so angry about a TV show that I verbally abuse someone I don't know / will never meet.
The internet really brings out the worst in people

I'm in the camp that she was poorly written and poorly acted. I hope she gets better fast.
