HuaRya Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Anyone else find a huge lack of: 1. Hardware, b-wing, y-wing, frigates, tie bombers, etc. 2. Expansive Planets teeming with alien diversity, normal Earth planets with a few birds 3. Anyone of any military rank over the age of 30 with a speaking part? Disney XD x-wing fighter kids It was as if Jar Jar Abrahms didn't want to be bothered with the technical aspect of Star Wars and set it up so we'd one day see a Star Trek/Wars cross-over?

DarknessInLight Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) 2. Expansive Planets teeming with alien diversity, normal Earth planets with a few birds This is one thing the Prequels actually got right. Shame.

ZanyaCross Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 We actually saw something like... ...four whole planets obliterated, but at no point does the magnitude of this seem to register. Are we even told which planets were destroyed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axcalion Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think Coruscant got destroyed, with all the senators panicking and yelling. I was like ***! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDymond Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone else find a huge lack of:[...] 2. Expansive Planets teeming with alien diversity, normal Earth planets with a few birds[...] I will absolutely take the 'terrestrial' looking planets shot on actual locations with actual sets over the 100% green-screen settings we got with the more 'exotic' looking planets like Felucia. If they can pull off another world as well as they did Mustafar, then I'll be okay with it - but the more the can use actual sets, the better. One of the things I was really impressed by with TFA was how they made such effective use of both practical effects and CGI, without over-relying on either. I think Coruscant got destroyed, with all the senators panicking and yelling. I was like ***! According to Wookieepedia, the EpVII "Visual Dictionary" specifies that the city-planet was Hosnian Prime, not Coruscant, but it was where the Republic Senate was established at the time (apparently, they rotated which planet the Senate convened on to be better representative of the whole Galaxy). One of my only complaints about TFA was that I wish they had given us a little (not a lot) more info about how the dynamic between the Republic, the Resistance, and the First Order actually works. It's not like Episode IV ever delved much into anything about the Empire and the Republic beyond "Empire bad, Republic was good", but I would have liked some context here so were had a better understanding of the ramifications of the first Starkiller attack.

HuaRya Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 And I'll take a physical sound stage built up to look like the planet Dagobah with Phil Tippet filling it with creatures before throwing Luke on a cliff on an island off the coast of Ireland with normal looking seabirds in flight.
