Just got done watching Rogue One. Damn this series uplifts the move so much more. When Andor and the rest of the rebels say "we ready to ride, we knew the council wouldnt believe you", shyt hits so much harder. Andor just got done arguing with the council like the day before about Luthen and the intel he died for.
With how cowardly the council was acting, I dont think having Gaelen's hologram woudlve made a difference. They already was talking side wayse like "maybe this all a trap, including Luthen being in on it".
I also hate they had a brehette speaking against shyt too![]()
We didn't even need to hear the words Death Star in Lonnie and Luthen's discussion to know what Lonnie was talking about. Of course, we know this is the huge bit of information that even those working in the ISP didn't know. On the surface, Luthen killing Lonnie feels like typical ruthless Luthen of not taking any risks. Although this was also an act of mercy on Lonnie. He wanted to make sure his family was safe and Luthen knew this. Luthen killing Lonnie allowed Lonnie's family to be safe.
So...the empire spent 10 fukking years building the deathstar...genocided all of Gorman...spend trillions of dollars...it was operational for literally <1 year. Blown the fukk up by a dude who wasn't even using his targeting equipment, a thief, and the daughter of a dude the empire sonned out already. You lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including Grand Moff Tarkin who was like 3rd in command of the entire empire. Huge loss for the Empire.
Then they build ANOTHER Death Star...it gets about 50% completion...same dudea brotha blows that shyt up. The FUKIKING EMPIRE DIES because of this.
Combined, the 2 OG death stars destroyed what...2 planets and a few ships?
THEN these motherfukkers build ANOTHER SUPER DEATH STAR...with YET ANOTHER EXPLOIT...and it gets blown up too, with catastrophic losses to the first order....
Is Project Stardust the biggest waste in the history of anything?![]()
Worse than that...TWENTYSo...the empire spent 10 fukking years building the deathstar...
Breh that is fukkin hilariousSomething hit for the first time today about how childish one aspect of Return of the Jedi is. I never questioned it before, but how silly is it that Palpatine had them build the 2nd Death Star with a THRONE ROOM in it? So, what....so he could sit in his swivel chair and ride around from planet to planet like he's on a version of Air Force One armed with TSAR BOMBAS ?? So he gets to look out his window and do an evil laugh while they ride around and nuke planets?
It would be like Trump flying around the world on a special "MCU" Universe Helicarrier complete with an observation deck with a giant La-Z-Boy recliner. With doomsday devices.
Her whole problem is she didn't have any vision for this franchise other than "the force is female now."
