Starships have jammers that can create gravity wells to stop lightspeed collisions (Hux probably turned them off to track them through hyperspace). This is well attested in the EU. I know this is nuCanon but they still borrow liberally from the EU.

It’s explained in the Visual Dictionary that the bomber munitions have…

That’s always something I LOL at now though. I shit myself in excitement when I first saw it in 4th grade, but now I know what an absolutely stupid weapon that would be.

All lightsaber battles in the OT and the ST (thus far) are far superior to all the lightsaber battles of the PT. Hands down. The lightsaber fights of the PT are highly synchronized, choreographed dance routines full of a bunch of sashaying and twerking for the camera. It’s all clean and lacking emotion. The lightsaber…

Kurt Cobain was the voice of a generation and Taylor Swift is a nasty little snake who uses false victimhood to mask her overt bitchness.

She was probably taking the time to figure out if the Supremacy + First Order feet had turned off their gravity well generators* that are used specifically to prevent this type of thing. Hence the reason it didn’t come to her immediately. Hux probably disabled the generators to track the Resistance fleet and she was…

FYI that’s not what a “plot hole” actually is and this was not really a plot hole. A plot hole in the proper sense is something that creates a paradox, not just something that looks inconsistent or is unexplained.

It’s well established in the EU and other nerd ephemera that many ships have jammers that create gravity wells that can draw ships out of lightspeed to prevent this very thing. You couldn’t do this to a planet either because of the natural gravity well.

My guess is that Hux would have turned off the jammers to track…

1. My argument is that people change in 35+ years. Yes, he does contemplate killing his nephew because he sees a “raw power” he has never seen before. I am not supposed to believe that someone could talk themselves into doing something drastic like killing future space Hitler and then pulling back when their emotions…

They are presented as a military with a chain of command and ranks in the films and in the EU. I fail to see how they are less of a military than the First Order which is just the “remnants” of the Empire, which is also made up of multiple factions (according to the Aftermath trilogy and Bloodline). Your definition of…

This is way different than Empire. Luke literally calls lightsabers and “laser sword” and makes fun of the idea of a ragtag group of rebels winning against a superior force simply with heart. Yoda shows up and basically admits that the Jedi are kinda garbage. Rey finds out her parents are nobody and she’s not the…

Yep. If the original trilogy came out today the Real Fans™ would hate it.

Except this was explained in the film. He does exactly what Yoda and Obi Wan did after their students turned to the Dark Side. It’s only “uncharacteristic” if you think Luke remained this flat, static person who never changed at the end of ROTJ. This is not how humans human and it’s certainly would not be a compelling…

LOL Salty fanboi comment is salty and fanboish. Also, this is pipping hot bullshit. He never said this and you know it.

Character arcs are a thing. Luke was still basically a teenager at the end of ROTJ. People get older, witness more trauma, deal with more shit, etc. It’s only “out of character” if you think Luke is this flat, static figure who doesn’t change in any way. Basically the opposite of a good character.

It is also ignoring…

Most ships have hyperspace jammers to prevent this. My assumption is Hux turned theirs off to track the Resistance. Gravity wells pull objects out of hyperspace, hence you couldn’t destroy a planet via hyperspace kamikaze. Large ships have gravity generators that can interdict hyperspace objects from crashing into…

Hyperspace jammers though. Hux obviously turned the Supremacy’s off to track the Resistance. In most cases hyperspace kamikaze wouldn’t work.

I actually thought that Leia and Holdo had lezed out at some point.

I lived on a military base for 18 years and Holdo’s actions did not confuse me in the slightest. Didn’t give it a second thought. An Admiral is absolutely not going to share all their plans with someone of substantially lower rank. This is why obedience and chain of command are so important in militaries. You might…

SASSY IS A VICTIM!

“We need to elect socialist populists to appeal to the white working class!”

No. You need to listen to black people.
