Why did JJ Abrams ignore the Prequels?
>>
>muh Snoke/Plagueis
>>
>>64467126
Because he is a filthy kike
>>
>>64467126

I wish I could ignore the prequels
>>
>>64467126
He did not.
He explicitly had a scene where he wiped Coruscant out of existence.
>>
>>64467126
>Clone Army
>Sith
>Snoke may very well be Darth Plagueis

I wouldn't say he ignored them entirely.

So its confirmed that JJ went to the opening ceremony?
>>
>>64467361

That was Bosnian Prime
>>
>>64467361
That wasn't Coruscant. That was Hosnian Prime.
>>
>>64467361
This is why its not worth to discuss things with u 99% of you people. You have the comprehension of my dog who is blind in one eye.

It was the Hosnian systen that was destroyed.

Not Coruscant.
>>
>>64467126
Because he's a 12 year old who thinks that he can ignore half the lore because that's "what the general audience wants!"
prequels were sooooo bad lmaooo
ot gooooood.
>>64467361
wasnt coruscant fuck boy. it was hosnian prime and the hosnian system was destroyed.
>>
>>64467126
So he can sell his own original character and have a bigger cut of the profits.
>>
>>64467361
But it didn't that was Hosinian Prime...
>>
>>64467416

>that's "what the general audience wants!"

More like the "nerd" demographic.

How were there 6 habitable planets in the same solar system and the one with the rebels didn't turn dark when they sucked up the sun ?
>>
>>64467484
ye
you know what i mean
>>
>>64467488
Because it was on the other side of the galaxy. All 3 places were actually. JJ just doesn't fucking care about scale.
>>
>>64467558

I thought everything was in the same system.
>>
Because the prequels were terrible pieces of shit. Six months ago most of /tv/ would've agreed with me.
>>
Because he's the biggest yes man in modern cinema.
>>
>>64467126
He didn't.

You can hear Ewan say "Rey, these are your first steps" when she touches the lightsaber for the first time

Still doesnt handwave away the being visible in a different system part. Its the same bullshit he pulled in Trek. Nigga should not be allowed to do space shit.
>>
>>64467943
It's hyperspace bullshit, which is the same as magic. It's unrealistic to begin with.
>>
>>64467943
the man just likes lens flare and blowing up planet scenes.
>>
>>64467972
Hyperspace followed a pretty clear set of rules until JJ got his hands on it. He's a hack, and you're a fucking idiot to try and defend the choices he made.
>>
>>64467747
Hello Lucas!
>>
>>64468071
>muh space fairy tale isn't logical and ignores Star Wars EU lore!!!!11
You're a child.
>>
>>64468136
It shits on 6 movies worth of lore. I dont give a fuck about the EU.
>>
>>64468136
Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it doesn't have it's own rules and logic. Hyperspace meant that it traveled really fast, it didn't make things visible to people far away from that place, that makes no sense.
>>
>>64468071
Hyperspace and the force are magic bullshit concepts. You defending made up magic bullshit is equivalent of you trying to defend Harry Potter spells.
>>
>>64468198
They're just closer together in the new lore. It's not that difficult to understand.
>>
>>64468198
And you know how a giant hyperspace planet destroying canon is supposed to work...
>>
>>64468209
* well defined bullshit concepts
And JJ completly ignored them
>>
>>64468231
How are they well defined?
In the movies they're used to go from place A to place B really fast. That's it.
>>
>>64468220
The map i posted is the new lore, from the guy on disneys pay in charge of maintaining that shit and was released just prior to the movie.
>>
>>64468209
Of course it's fake you mong, no one debates that at all.

The point is that the fake rules HAD RULES. Part of convincing world building is consistency. So if you lay down rules for how your magic works, and then break them, it feels lazy and breaks suspension of disbelief.

This is like sci-fi/fantasy writing 101.
>>
>>64468255
Hyperspace takes time
Hyperspace needs coordinates planned out
And you cant hyperspace through matter aka a fucking shield

JJ hyperspace is instantaneous and just werks. The hangar jump alone was designed just to shit on ANH.

Star Wars isn't science fiction, it's fantasy. Let it go, you'll feel better.

>Hyperspace takes time
>Hyperspace needs coordinates planned out
They have faster computers now.
>And you cant hyperspace through matter aka a fucking shield
You are not hyperspacing through matter, you are going from place A to place B via hyperspace.
Place B being behind the shield in this case.
>>
>>64468299
The point is that you don't know how hyperspace works in Star Wars because it's made up bullshit.
If the director goes "hyperspace is powered by cow cunts," then that's what's canon.

Why would the missile make the explosion visible to planets light-years away from it? In the movie it looks like they exploded something as close as a moon of that planet.

>>64468328
That's ridiculous. If you don't care about the movie, why did you bother coming to this thread in the first place?


JJ fucked up. He didn't think things through, he just wanted to get done with the movie.
>>
>>64468404
>make the explosion visible to planets light-years away from it? In the movie it looks like they exploded something as close as a moon of that planet.
Because that's the side effect of using a sun-eating giant hyperspace cannon. It's a hyperspace Fata Morgana.
>>
>>64468404
>If you don't care about the movie, why did you bother coming to this thread in the first place?
I care about the stuff that matters. Like, you know, the acting, the cinematography, the mise-en-scene, the characters. The stuff that makes movies good, not the fucking lore that constantly contradicts itself.
>>
>>64468404
>That's ridiculous. If you don't care about the movie, why did you bother coming to this thread in the first place?
You can love lord of the rings without necessarily seeing the logic of middle earth magic.

Hyperspace weirdness is the will of the Force.

Because he is Jew Jew

He named Luke's planet Ahch-To. Ahch means 'brother' in hebrew.

The first jedi temple is in a planet with an jewish name.

Now jedis are jewdis.

Except Han Solo explicitly says in ANH that you have to worry about fucking flying through a supernova, implying that you're still influenced by the material world while in hyperspace.
>>
>>64468621
>Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it.
What it means is that if you don't calculate place B precisely you'll end up going through a star or too close to a supernova.

The kids growing up with this new trilogy will talk about how terrible 2030 Star Wars is, and the cycle will continue. People like the stuff they watched when they were kids, and will defend it irrationally.

The Force Awakens is better than the prequels in almost every conceivable way, but that really doesn't matter. People will defend Return of the Jedi because they grew up with it. People will defend Revenge of the Sith because they grew up with it.

If only they explained things in the movie, anon. If only. Everyone, including the writers, are stuck in TV mode, where they don't need to explain exposition in the pilot, but it doesn't work like that in movies.

Theres less lore rape and plot holes in 3 movies than there is in TFA.
>>
>>64470156

the prequels gave us good pieces of lore and very very bad ones, basically i don't give much of a fuck about it, i like where they are going now
>>
>>64470156
Midichlorians alone raped Star Wars lore much much worse than anything TFA did.
>>
>>64467126
because they´re the most disapointing thing since my son?

No, TFA is unoriginal rip of ANH, and an obvious cape shit cash in.

Just fuck off

>>64470156

the prequels were nothing but lore rape, what the hell are you even on about?
>>
>>64470219
Thats not lore rape and contradicts nothing in the OT. Plenty in TFA shits all over the other 6 though

>midichlorians
>>

Completely contradicts what Obi-Wan explains to Luke about the force.

Because you wanted him to. Till you guys went all hipster about TFA.
>>
>>64470423

Yes it does.

In ANH Obi-Wan says

> Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.... A Jedi can feel the force flowing through him.
>>
>>64470489
Yes. And nothing said in the prequels contradicts that.
>>
>>64470547

>being force sensitive has to do with the amount of special bacteria in your blood

way to kill the fucking mystery surrounding it, and you agree with this?
>>
>>64470626
Its better than the galaxy being shrank to the size of a fishbowl in TFA
>>
>>64470675

you mean roughly the same size at it was shown to us in ANH? We knew about Tatooine, Alderaan, Yavin. That's it. In TFA we know about that system that got rekt, that planet where Maz lives, the resistance base planet, Jakku.

but thanks for dodging my earlier point
>>
>>64470758
In ANH it took a ton of time to get from Tatooine to Alderaan. In TFA once phone calls were placed in the bar it took 5 minutes for both sides to get there.

And to your previous point, no I dont care at all about midiclorians existing.
>>
>>64470626
A) There's a difference between killing mystery and contradicting

B) It doesn't kill the mystery, or at least not in any particularly detrimental way. It doesn't explain what the force is, or how it came to be, or even how it works. All midichlorians do is establish why some people are force sensitive and why others aren't, or if this is even something that's capable of being determined, which is something I felt needed explaining in the OT.
