I seriously don't understand how people get so hung up on the viability of the plan in TLJ when we've had to accept the plan to break Han Solo out of Jabba's palace for 30 years. No one spent years angrily posting about how badly Luke planned that complete mess of an operation.

That's right ROTJ is the worst of the entire saga, I said it, fight me

OK, so: Lando, you go to the palace and get hired as a guard, but don't rescue Han. Then I'll send the droids as a gift for Jabba. Leia, you then come in pretending to be a bounty hunter who's captured Chewie. Then you can rescue Han and Chewie. If that doesn't work then I'll come in and threaten Jabba until he takes us all out into the desert to be killed, and then I can rescue Han and Leia and Chewie and the droids and Lando. Any questions?

You forgot the part where Luke pointlessly hid his lightsaber inside R2-D2 even though no one searched him when he came in. Also once they drive away from Jabba's exploding sand barge, presumably killing dozens of servants, it immediately cuts to a giant fleet of rebel ships. If Han Solo was that goddamn important they coulda just flown one of those massive warships to Tattooine and been like "Give us Han Solo or we'll blow your stupid castle up".

The prequels were ahead of their time! The people who disparage us for liking them are fools! Anyway back on topic, what's up with these idiots who think the sequels are good? What a bunch of morons.

If JJ had any balls he would’ve blown up Coruscant in TFA, none of this “oh they blew up the galactic capital BUT DONT WORRY it’s a new planet that you haven’t heard of before” bullshit

Better state exactly who did it, and what it means, out loud!!!" would it have been any better

I thought the New Republic Capitol planet they blew up was supposed to be Chandrilla, which was Mon Mothma's homeworld, but then I also remember something about a place called Hosnian Prime, which means nothing to me so it's probably that one.

Of course none of this is indicated in the movie because establishing the setting of your story is for nerds and JJ ain't got time for that when we got another Death Star to blow up.

I mean...I know new movies means new toys, but when Blue Story posted her famous thread hadn't they already spent tens of thousands on star wars toys? And that was before the new movies even came out, wasn't it? There's no way they didn't have multiples of literally everything.

Hey thread what do we like more: The fact that Palpatine's return was revealed in the opening crawl and they didn't even bother with any real build up or exposition; Or The fact that the 1991 Tom Veitch comic book series Dark Empire did the whole reborn emperor thing so much better?
