They really could have cut out the idea of starkiller base being a weapon, Kylo being the main threat in the story, which would have let the movie breathe a little more, and give some quick opportunities to put in just a little more information, and the whole thing would have felt better to me. Starkiller was lame anyway. It wasnt some unique interesting weapon. It was a death star that blew up planets that the movie didnt even explain, so it didnt have the weight that the death star had in ANH. It really feels like it was shoehorned in just to give Poe something to do with the X-wing fleet at the end. It didnt serve any purpose though.
Did Snoke ever even talk about Starkiller base?
- i love that it formed a star itself when it explodedscarabin
- It did?
I thought it was kinda weak too. I hate how they just stroll in, place a few bombs and topple an army. I don't ever know what sk actually killedformed - Yeah all the energy just absorbed from the existing star to fire the weapon lost containment and reignited as a new star.ETM
- Seriously... it blew up THE REPUBLIC HOME SYSTEM. Destroying the government and the Resistance supporters.ETM
- I've read many of your comments and it seems like you were so busy bitchy about the last thing you kept missing the rest of the movie.ETM
- *bitchingETM
- It's purpose, was destroying all the existing governing base creating a great power vacuum for the First Order to fill.ETM
- They literally told the audience that it was the Republic system that was destroyed. In words... on the screen... by characters... played by actors...ETM
- Those last comments being directed at @CygnusZero4 for clarity.ETM
- Even with the base destroyed, they accomplished their primary goal. They just failed to destroy the system the Resistance was using as their base of operations.ETM
