SPOILER THREAD: SW: The Force Awakens

My impression is that Vader didn't kill his officers in a fit of rage though. It was more as though he just had zero tolerance for failure (quite amusing considering he fails at everything task attempts in the OT) . I suppose I t could also be interpreted as just cold, controlled rage, as opposed to the hissy fits we see Kylo throw.

I agree that's just Darth Vaders way of motivating his men.

Good points.

And to be fair, Vader is pretty darn generous with dishing out promotions too. Team motivator right there.

On my way to see it again, only this time it's in Imax.

I felt Ren after removing the mask doesn't look fearsome. It in fact weakens him when confronting Rey.

Snok looks like some Lord Voldemort and wont be surprised if we bring in Lego expanded universe there. Harry potter comes in lol

I am sure Luke could have taken Ren out, but because he is Han's and Leia's son, he didn't. Whatever Rey relation is, she has less compassion and was willing to take K Ren out after what he did to Han which I bet Luke couldn't do.

I made this photocomic parodying the financial and practical issues with Starkiller Base. Enjoy.

With the destruction of Starkiller base I was thinking that's an entire planetary ecosystem with countless flora and fauna gone. Also it was so conveniently close and orientated to enemy systems.

Starkiller base presumably had a hyperdrive like the Death Star right, so it could jump around the galaxy? Otherwise once you've sucked out the sun how would you ever recharge it?

Actually that's a good point.

They would have had to have moved after they destroyed the Hosnian system.

Where did they move to and how did Finn know they had moved there? Finn should only have known where it was. Did they have a set list of stars they were going to or something?

Perhaps it was a binary star system.
Also, wouldn't destroying a star also leave a black hole in its wake?

I actually considered a binary system as a possibility, but the hyperdrive seems more likely. But even that is troublesome...

Thinking about the original comment, although the destruction wiped out the "entire planetary ecosystem with countless flora and fauna gone", I'm not sure that the ecosystem would have lasted so long once there was no longer a sun!

But would it fare any better if the planet jumped to hyperspace? Really good planetary shields?

Not sure the logic of this was completely thought through.

I thought Star Killer base was the dumbest part of the movie, it would of been a better movie without it. I would be happy if it was just a base, but without the ridiculous super weapon.
