Chat about wasting rebel Resistance scum and discuss the new BT-16. Remember OPSEC: if you know where that Skywalker guy is, keep that poo poo hush-hush or you'll never get transferred off this loving rock.

e: To clarify, there are spoilers ahead. Stay alert, stay alive, Stormtrooper.

I recall he mentioned that he was taken from his family, so I think it's safe to assume that we're back to old-school stormtroopers who aren't all clones anymore. Plus, the chrome-plated stormtrooper was a chick, and I think there was at least one other white-helmeted foe with a feminine voice.

^^^ this, also

That part seems to have been glossed over in the new movie. Connecting some dots between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens:

Post-Return of the Jedi: The Rebellion, after killing the Emperor and blowing up Death Star 2.0, set up a new government, the New Republic. Blowing up Death Star 2.0 obviously didn't wipe out the entirely of the old Empire, so the dudes left reorganized and wound up becoming the First Order, the fancy new enemy for the New Republic. The New Republic needs somebody to fight these space baddies, so Leia gets put in charge of the effort to combat the First Order, called the Resistance. Why they're called the "Resistance" when they could have just been like, I don't know, the Republic Fleet or something sensible, I don't know.

During The Force Awakens: The capital of the New Republic, the planet Hosnian Prime in this new movie, gets smoked by Death Star 3.0. Thus, the New Republic was essentially created and destroyed without any real screen time.

Pretty much. Star Wars is a cash cow, even when you try to gently caress it up like Lucas.

I found out yesterday that there is an apparently high quality fan edit of the original trilogy that restores them to their pre-special edition and Lucas fuckery glory called the Despecialized edition. Had it download last night, so I'll give a trip report once I have the chance to watch 'em through.

And that's why I steer clear of anything Disney. People who are into Disney... something's not right, up there.
