So the trailer clearly shows Luke's (and Anakin's) lightsaber.. if the thing fell on Bespin which is a gas planet, it's nearly impossible that it would be recovered. I wonder what the explanation will be.

He made another one that looks just like the old one? I mean, if nerds can make a 100% perfect replica of Luke's sabre in their garages, surely the technologically superior people in Star Wars can make a new light sabre that looks the same as the old one.

the first jj abrams star trek film wipes out everything that ever happened in the original star trek series, and all of the other series, and movies, that came after it, except I guess Enterprise?

Actually that's a point, are the whales gonna go extinct now? poo poo!

i always figured Star Trek went by Back to the Future rules so the movies are just a different dimension where things play out differently.

it kind of bothers me that they just left jennifer sedated on a porch in a bad neighborhood and then went back in time. but won't they only create a new timeline when they go back in time and fix 1955? Jeniffer will still be stuck in biff-ruled hill valley 1985.

Naw in BttF we saw with the disappearing photo and marty fading out and stuff that if you change the past, the future you're currently in/the one you "belong to" physically changes, up to and including yourself fading and maybe disappearing into never-having-been-born. Marty had to make sure his parents got together or he would cease to exist, implying there's no "alternate" timeline for him to have come from and still be allowed to exist.

In star trek, old Spock presumably remembers the old timeline even after events in the movie have massively changed the future. He could kill his younger self and still be OK, because he's from a timeline where his younger self was not killed by old Spock.

This is why the angry romulan dude is so mad. His own homeworld is gone, and even if he acts to save the Romulan homeworld in the new timeline he's in, his old one is still gone no matter what, even though time travel also exists and you can go back and save the humpback whales in San Francisco, and therefore in addition to creating new futures, you can also fix your own continuity.

Or perhaps after Star Trek IV, the original series crew are now living in a different timeline from the one they left before they went back to save the whales, and they don't even realize it because somehow they managed to not change the past enough for them to notice?

Basically star trek's timeline fuckery is inconsistent which is why Back to the Future is undeniably better science fiction, haha.

on the ravaged deck of a star destroyer, that's way more interesting.
while we're on this topic, i feel that instead of cribbing revans mask they should have just cut/pasted some of darth nihilus' funk instead. that cat is more or less Lord PTSD and he flies around in the open bridge of an undead star destroyer that got wrecked in a giant battle somewhere, which is pretty sweet and also relevant to both the post-endor galaxy and us as a nation of grimdark war criminals.

also if i told you he was something called an inquisitor (which are things that are in this movie?) you would believe me because he looks like a nun wearing a venetian mask

star wars was cool when it was a dumb samurai western in space with goofy space monsters and everyone wasn't afraid to tell lucas that he was a fat tard with bad ideas.

before lucas and the whole franchise went up its own rear end so goddamn far that now a bunch of faggots seriously argue about whether wookies age or if a big spaceship can do a thing

Up the rear end nerd arguments are timeless, like wookies.
