I doubt we'd ever see that, I do remember there was a Luke figure where Luke's right hand came off and could be re-attached magnetically.

I guess you never read the interviews over the years where Ford jabs at Lucas by saying the reason Han didn't die in ROTJ was because they wouldn't be able to sell dead Han action figures.

Apparently Han didn't die in the Arndt version of the script. So yeah, that's JJ trying to "make his mark" (on someone else's canvas).

He's such a fuck.

To be fair, Harrison already made it clear that he wanted Han Solo to die back in ROTJ, and how long could he believably portray a badass blaster-totin' smuggler when he's over 70?

Let me ask you, how do you expect someone to respond to that?

Why does it need a response?

People are seriously writing articles saying the science of TFA is wrong? It's the science in Star Wars, it's always been total bullshit you nit picky, whiny assholes.

You are literally doing this because you enjoy having nerd rage. Meh, if it makes you happy.

To be fair, they really went crazy out of the realm of reality on this episode. Absorbing a star is stupid as hell. The more I think about it the dumber it is.

It shouldn't surprise anyone some people hate on the new Star Wars. It's not a perfect movie by any means. All the people I know that "hate" the movie happened to originally have had a rage hard on against JJ for "ruining Star Trek".

I like we have the hide function now we've got a new Isaac though.

Yes, moisture farming on a desert planet, armour that doesn't shiild you, wonky-legged tank thingys, no guardrails in your space station where lazers go right past the guys firing it, etc, etc

No, a lazer using the power of a sun is clearly where to draw the line

[The Lurker]

To be fair, it's a bit better than a similar EU idea.

[Tripe]

Yes, moisture farming on a desert planet

That part actually does make sense, given the colour of the sky there is actually moisture to be found on that planet, kinda like how Arrakis has a polar cap. Desserts in general have moisture.

The thing is, if you're older than about 15 and unreservedly love any movie, you're perhaps a wee bit too uncritical in your appreciation of things. But finding niggles shouldn't cause the whole thing to be ruined for you. That goes o the whole suspension of disbelief thing.

Déjà vu, and here I thought we were done with the suspension of disbelief topic....

It is possible to have a few complaints about something and still like it.  Movies are like people, not one is perfect, blindly ignoring any flaws is just as unhealthy as obsessing over them.

Moisture farming makes sense, though. You'd have to do something to gather up as much moisture as you could, and presumably, it'd involve taking moisture out of the air. Armor that doesn't fully shield is actually a reasonable thing; a lot of medieval armors, chainmail for instance, are vulnerable to piercing attacks, like arrows. I can understand that it'd be difficult to fully make a soldier impervious to damage and let them still have good mobility, especially against an energy based weapon or attack. I'll accept the fact that no guardrail is a poor design choice, but that kind of thing happens all the time. Not to mention, the Empire tends to consider it's troops non essential and expendable, so why worry about a thing like safety on a super weapon?

Also, you can only fire Starkiller ONCE if you're in a normal one star system. It seems like something the US government would build, since it would be a colossal waste of money and resources for a one shot attack.
