If they wanted somewhere to film that was basically a shithole no one cared about they could have just filmed it in Idaho.

Basically, this:



The ethos of TLJ is ultimately that we should see the rot underpinning the surface conflict—the problems of child slavery, war profiteering, and the like that were even tolerated under the New Republic—and then conclude: never mind that, the struggle between two paramilitary factions that no one seems to care too much about is in fact the most important thing in the world. It's tepid post-Cold-War liberalism in film form, making token gestures at real issues while offering nothing and glorifying constant retreat in the face of fascism.

Remember how in TROS you can suddenly just force heal peoples fatal wounds? Would have been neat if the Jedi of the past thousand years knew that.

Yeah, but the Jedi were all rear end in a top hat snobs. They probably did know how to do it, but were like "gently caress that I'm not wasting my life healing every sick person that I encounter. I've got sick flips and laser sword spins to do :lofty:"

Exploration is ill-advised.
Was actually an interesting idea that physical healing, maintaining and creating life are specifically a Dark Side power.

How did Kylo Ren get back to exogol, when a) he broke the wayfinder and b) tie/ln are not equipped with hyperdrives?

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Innate sith knowledge / force link to Rey. First Order TIEs have hyperdrives. The whole trilogy made a mess of cannon, but with Disney de-cannonizing everything not on film I guess you could argue that TIEs don't canonically not have a hyperdrive anymore.

it's an old imperial tie and those are established as being short-range, incapable of going far on their own, in dialog in ANH

It's not a first order TIE because he finds it after abandoning the first order while at Endor. Also the coloring is off when he lands.

I wasn't really being all that serious, though I wouldn't be surprised if the force link was the actual explanation.

How did a wimpy little TIE survive the explosion and crash?

Yeah, the whole bog standard TIE being the ship that brought Kylo to the magical place thats almost impossible to get to (except literally everyone was able to get there) was, to me at least, the most obvious sign that nobody that actually likes Star Wars was involved in this Star Wars movie. Or anyone with enough foresight to go "hey remember that plot point we talked about earlier, should we like, you know, go through the movie and make sure everything is kinda vaguely consistent with it?"

I get why the shot existed, fan service of OMG CLASSIC TIE AND XWING NEXT TO EACH OTHER FOR THE LAST TIME but... not really worth it.

I have a completely unsubstantiated theory that it was originally supposed to be Vader's TIE, but that it was vetoed in favor of a normal TIE for some reason.

Its not like he was married or had any long-term partner ever shown, and hes a popular figure. Sheevs out there on the cover of the Galactic Daily getting photographed with two Twiliks jiggling his death stars and his PR is running overtime at this scandal that there werent three there.
