i can't believe i read all of that i feel stupid :(

Sup Forums contrarians will try to downplay this but that's some impressive foreshadowing.
Luke Flores
You mean to say that two movies in the same series that were being filmed at the same time... had references to one another?
Michael Barnes
I have another easter egg, hard to notice, but they had spaceships in RO, and guess where they had them too? That's right, in TLJ.
Bentley Garcia
How many years have passed from Rogue One to The Last jedi, 30 or 40?

How hard would it have been to just make it "They can track the rebel ship because the FUCKING STORMTROOPER the rebels have on board can be tracked through some kind of subdermal implant"? It would give you an excuse to get Finn onto the Snoki with Little China Girl, it would give him an excuse to actually fight Phasma (make it so that she has his tracker or some dumb shit as his "commander"), it would have saved us from all of the Casino bullshit and Benicio Del Terrible. 3 issues removed in one tiny change to the plot.
Carson Lewis
Foreshadowing or they watched Rogue One and used this bit for a plot point.
Henry Robinson
That's fucking insane. Someone at Disney actually thought about continuity AND has possibly watched a previous star wars film. I never thought we'd have proof of this.
Carter Richardson
It indicates that they might be putting a tiny modicum of effort into tying these films together.
Which is nice since right now it just feels like different directors each imposing their personal vision on the franchise
Julian Bell
See
Bentley Martin
Not to be a dick but didn't they plant something like that on the Millennium Falcon in ANH? Wasn't that the device they used to track down the Rebel base on Yavin IV?
Adam Perez
Obi wan had some kind of round thing the size of an oreo cookie, he tracked jango fette with it.
Xavier Cook
no its capeshit tier bullshit scarif was destroyed all of that knowledge is lost

I bet you’re the guy who made the thread whining about “obvious Disney shills” on Sup Forums lmao
As if Disney would waste their time on a group that doesn’t pay to see movies

They can't win because people will bitch if they tie the films together and people will bitch if they have them stand alone. There's always someone who will be unsatisfied.
David Myers
Truly the franchise is saved. There is hope again
Angel Taylor
>if you blow up one library it destroys all books everywhere
Jack Fisher
big if true
Andrew Martin
You forgot it would make an excuse for Holdo not to tell anyone Leia's plan cause they know there's a spy on board.
Nathan Morales
Tying films together to the same fictional universe and following its conventions does not mean callbacks and fanservice cameos.
Nice try with the >we tried doing things new this time and you still hated it! damage control
Mason Peterson
Here's how I would have done it
Finn was a stormtrooper. Who's to say The First Order didn't put some sort of tracking implant in their soldiers to monitor them?
This way, the Rebels would have figured out that Finn was being tracked and then you'd have the whole romance subplot of Rose trying to clear Finn's name or something.
Dominic Murphy
there's a bunch of other "secret projects" in the archive that they go through
DarkSaber, etc
Elijah Hughes
No. Shit movie. Both of them.
Daniel Morris
This would have been a neat little easter egg if ep 8 was any good, unfortunatley it is shit and this easter egg wont save the movie for anyone
Brandon Perry
Then how did Vader managed to track the rebel scum that ran away in R1 at the beginning of ep IV? Checkmate atheists, Vader clearly had multiple floppy discs with the tech hidden.
Mason Bennett
Lol, the Disney defense force is going all out on this thread trying to defend the poor writing through a meaningless easter egg.
Both Finn and Rose were aware of the technology and how it basically "worked" during the movie.
Brayden Morris
>imperial remnant has tech from the empire
whoa
Nathaniel King
>Not to be a dick but didn't they plant something like that on the Millennium Falcon in ANH? Wasn't that the device they used to track down the Rebel base on Yavin IV? No, Leia gave up Yavin IV as they were about to blow up Alderaan

omg incredible wait I don't care
Xavier Garcia
Yet, the entirety of Last Jedi was dropping any plot importance that was foreshadowed in Force Awakens. Making Rogue One interesting by being shit at everything else will never make Last Jedi good.
Lucas Lee
So you're telling me they went out of their way to foreshadow something? Pretty legendary desu
Jack Ramirez
How the fuck is this an "easter egg", that would assume it was put in this movie with the intent of being referenced by another movie in the future. The director just fucking watched this movie and said "oh I'll use that", jesus christ. Here's another easter egg, Darth Vader is in all the other movies and he's also in Rogue One. MIND BLOWN
Jack James
>here's how I would have done it >rose gets an even bigger roll Kys
Joseph Clark
Would have made for a more coherent story, otherwise we wouldn't have to hear about
Connor Sanders
What does this mean for the future? Sup Forums decides:
The had been able to detect hyperspace jump coordinates all along - by the exit trajectory or some shit.
That's how Vader catches up to Tantive IV in ANH
Elijah Lee
She gave up dantooine
Asher Williams
Leia gave up Dantooine and escapes. You could argue she confessed "yavin 4" under torture, but the Millenium Falcon was tracked to Yavin 4
Benjamin Lewis
whoa
Isaac Hernandez
>i never actually watched the OT well thanks for the input i guess

how do we know that Disney didn't go full Lucas editing the DVD/BR versions to include this easter egg
Samuel Sullivan
Heres what I would have done. >Take out purple hair >Take out both Asians >Never show glasses migit >Never show kids >Cut out all cute animal scenes >Don't hint at kylo's redemption and then do a complete 180 at the worst possible moment

What else she says when try to steal deathstar blueprint? Black saber? Stardust? I forgotten the whole thing
Nicholas Cook
Literally an user can make a better plot than TLJ.
Isaiah Johnson
- completely cut out casino - cut out luke's death in the end, just leave him sitting there
Ryder Morales
god dammit, this is so much better than the plot we got.
what is their excuse? they can cram as much stupid superficial bullshit as they want in the movie but why can't the plot follow a basic internal logic? any screenwriting 101 graduate should be able to do this. a competent plot should NOT be too much to ask.
they could have luke rip his dick off and shove it up his butt while saying "look! i'm a star wars fanboy!" for all i care, as long as the story made any damn sense.

Benjamin Martinez
But they already had the technology in New Hope and didn't they used that to track the Falcon to Yavin?
Wyatt Cook
Didn't Vader track Leia's ship in A New Hope..through hyperspace?
Kayden Brown
Vader had already tracked Tantive IV through hyperspace.
They can calculate destination through exit trajectory. Could have tracked the Falcon same way.
Joseph Phillips
Just because you know which direction someone is going doesn't mean you know where they are going to stop.
Connor Gonzalez
Good afternoon Heisenberg
Justin Gomez
It doesn't take much to blow peoples minds these days it seems.
Jacob Evans
So basically it's not an Easter egg. People just try to find connections that would imply TLJ isn't the pile that it is?
Andrew Phillips
The only copy of the death star plans was on Scarif tho.
Christopher Smith
Remember when Jyn and Cassian where retrieving the disk. All of a sudden they decide to remove their imperial clothes and go back to their original costume.
Justin Cox
People get paid to write articles about something like that?
Brandon Peterson
yeah it does. Just look at Yoda and his acts of destroying priceless knowledge because he did not like Paige Turner
Nathan Gomez
It always bothered me. Noone would wear two complete outfits on one another. But hey who cares nowadays. They must have changed their outfit in the loading screen.
Jordan Gutierrez
Rogue One was unironically loads better than TLJ
Luke Reyes
they can gather the amount of power residue and calculate the length of the jump
i dont know all the details, it's been done in the EU
Ryder Wood
Rey took the books. They were on the Falcon at the end. Yoda burned the tree to fuck with Luke and get him to help his friends.
James Johnson
> as Rogue One contains a little nugget of info you may have missed took them 20+? years and Empire's collapse to get it function?
So what was this magnificent piece of tech? A gadget? A piece of code? A spy holding this tech? We didn't get answers to these which just opens a question how did they know why they would have to go to Snoke's ship to disable it or what kind of tech would they had to have to disable it??????
Logan Torres
Oh heavenly Jesus, OP. That is pretty damn neat!

>ftl travel in SW based around hyperspace routes >Routes the Hutts control >Therefore, only a limited amount of entrances and exits exist >The Hutts most likely have sensors set up to detect who comes and goes from the routes hence why they're able to control said routes >The Hutts most likely gave the tech to Sheev in exchange for him not wiping their species off the galaxy >Through Sheev, the FO gets the control over hyperspace >Even easier, it would easy to track disturbances in hyperspace due to the limited nature of who comes and goes in >ie follow the hole through to the end >You don't need to directly follow the ships either via hyperspace, you can just calculate which route they took and follow the accompanying hyperspace radiation coming off the ships
Hyperspace routes would most likely have the main routes, and side routes. You know how routes work, right? There's stops, usually based around major planet and side routes going from the major planet to other side planets. Given the odd nature of ftl in SW, the ship would most likely be glowing all sorts of radiation, tracking it becomes easy. If the ship lands on the nearby planet, barricade it. If the ship goes on a side route, there will be insane radiation indicating this, then you barricade the side planet.
