Maybe you can make the "difficult choice" to give us our money back, you thieves.

@brian_ghattas: So pretty much an accurate reflection of the human race. God we suck compared to animals.

They're all paid actors reading from a script, including the children. It's just another form of reality TV, no more realistic than WWF wrestling.

@cboye18:

Yeah there's not much point in investing in Star Wars encyclopedias or lore any more. There used to be at least some consistency and longevity since the original creator George Lucas nominally approved everything. Now there's a new director and creative mind deciding on the flow of the franchise every 2-3 years. Everything from these news movies could get thrown in the trash again if say Disney sold the rights back to Fox 10 years from now and Lucas got hired back to make the ROTJ sequel trilogy he envisioned.

@NoahRoalson:

Other good questions which may or may not be answered by some book or random tweet:

1) Why does Chewbacca look younger in this movie than in Revenge of the Sith set 50 years earlier?

2) What is "the Resistance" as distinct from "the Republic"?

3) What happened to TIE interceptors, A-wings, B-wings etc...

You know your movie has massive gaping lore problems when a major issue like whether the central superweapon of your movie can even move around is only answered by some guy on twitter.

Claymation lives. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

@syztem: I'm more worried about the cheap build quality on Nintendo's handhelds for the last few years. It's random chance whether you get an IPS or TN screen, a solid or weak hinge, and how many dust particles and other random anomalies you find already embedded in your screens when you turn the unit on. Nintendo is building their cheap handhelds for what they assume are children who don't know any better in an era where most other manufacturers are making extremely high quality flawless portable electronics with high res screens.

@zinten: Nintendo has been censoring RPG texts since the original Final Fantasy on NES.

The CGI on this character looked worse than Gollum - done 15 years ago. And the CGI of Emperor Snoke the 3rd was even worse.
