Why are these planets so close together?

Why are these planets so close together?

>starwars isn't made for children

because it's a fucking movie and a visually appealing shot is more important than adhering to science in a series that never once valued realism anyways

people being able to see it from across the galaxy was pretty retarded tho

JJ did the same shit in Star Trek. Actually he did a lot of similar retarded shit.

Star Trek 09 was a rehash of ANH. TFA is a rehash of ST'09 and the OT.

it'a in the same universe as no mans sky

>a visually appealing shot

it is not.

>visually appealing
Top kek.

>JJ Abrams
>visually appealing

Is this what being triggered feels like

This shot wasn't visually appealing at all. It was confusing as shit.

This is actually the crux of my issue with Force Awakens, in that this scene makes no fucking sense and is completely meaningless. It's people and planets we're never really introduced to and have no reason to care about, and they're confusingly all seemingly super close to each other.

Why are there pew pew laser sounds in the vacuum of space?

Cuz it's a fucking movie.

Fuck off.

Sometimes I think that I was too hard on TFA and maybe if I gave it another watch I'd like it better.

Then I'm reminded of this shit, and remember that no, no, it's really just that bad a movie.

It's visually appealing to the masses of normies and dumbshits.

>Fuck off
Now that's what I call edgy

I honestly went in expecting to love it, and came out super disappointed. It's the most vapid shit ever. People complain that capeshit is shallow, holy shit, Force Awakens makes even the most cookie cutter capeshit seems like true kino.

The movie is a series of lowlights and meaningless shit framed by dumb action sequences with no visual flare.

I agree. And I hate that I agree, because I love Star Wars. And it bothers me to no end that people were so hung up on hating what came before that they were so eager to accept this shallow movie.

Like, we waited 10 years for this? Seriously? We deserved something better, something actually crafted as part of the universe.

writing wise, it was no better than the prequels

THE WHOLE STARKILLER BASE WAS JUST SHIT. ABSOLUTELY SHIT. WELL DONE JJ, YOU MASSIVE KNOB.

>IT'S A FUCKING THIRD DEATHSTAR. ANOTHER ONE!
>THERE'S NO BUILD UP. IT'S JUST SUDDENLY REVEALED.
>AND THEN AS SOON AS IT'S REVEALED IT'S BLOWN UP, BY ATTACKING THE WEAK SPOT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE FFS. AGAIN!!
>THE BEAM SOMEHOW SPLITS AND DESTROYS A HEAP OF PLANETS WHO ARE ALL RIDICULOUSLY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER IN SHOT. GG NO RE SUPREME LEADER SNOKE YOU LAME ANIMATED PALPATINE STAND-IN
>GOOD THING THOSE PLANETS WERE LITERALLY WHOS SO THE ENTIRE DEVASTATION DIDN'T MATTER ANYWAY
>A THIRD FUCKING DEATHSTAR
>THE FIRST ORDER SOMEHOW PULLED THIS RIDICULOUS SUPERWEAPON OUT OF THEIR ARSE IN THE SHORT TIME THEY EXISTED

FUCK YOU JJ AND YOUR SHITTY BY-THE-NUMBERS BABBY'S FIRST STAR WARS FLIKK. A GLIB FACSIMILE OF GEORGE'S LEGACY. I HOPE YOU FALL DOWN A CONVENIENTLY PLACED SHAFT YOU LITTLE JEWISH GOBLIN.

And who the fuck cared about Alderaan in ANH?

oh yeah Alderaan's destruction had so much weight to it because Obi-wan sat down and looked constipated for five seconds

>The movie is a series of lowlights and meaningless shit framed by dumb action sequences with no visual flare.

DUDE STAR WARS IS A DOCUMENTARY LOL

WHY DIDN'T TFA "EXPAND THE UNVIERSE" LIKE THE PREQUELS LMAO

Nailed it.

>eight months after release and people STILL don't understand the purpose of Starkiller Base

The nu-Empire builds a BIGGER and BETTERER version of the Death Star with no practical usage whatsoever because they're desperate to mimic the Empire and building unwieldy, overcompensating superweapons is what Star Wars villains do. The actual battle to destroy Starkiller base ends up being only a footnote in the climax, because the real power of Star Wars is in the characters, not the spaceship battles. Though normies may get their Star War, the true spirit of the series, characters you care about building relationships with each other to overcome evil, will always remain the central focus.

The Force Awakens is a movie about living up the legacy of those who came before, and JJ appears to deliver the expectations of the fans while cleverly subverting them at the same time. It's not a fucking coincidence that the big bad guy, who is at first a Vader clone in a mask, is actually an insecure piece of shit who struggles with the expectation to live up to Vader.JJ is a fucking patrician as fuck director and most of you idiots just don't understand him, you all just assume he's some dipshit because his movies happen to make money.

>JJ is a fucking patrician as fuck director and most of you idiots just don't understand him,

Ahahaha sure guy.

But that's incredibly insipid and stupid.

I'm sorry he treated TFA as a piece of art within the larger context of filmmaking and Star Wars a cultural icon rather than appealing to your EU/prequelbabby/videogamefag sensibilities

The stupid death lazor part is where I gave up on the movie. It was so colossally stupid.

>This shot wasn't visually appealing at all. It was confusing as shit.

Maybe if you're a fucking braindead retard, there's nothing confusing at all

>It's people and planets we're never really introduced to and have no reason to care about

Yeah because Star Wars never did that before huh

I started to have a sinking feeling the second I heard "Do you talk first or do I?"

And it just kept delivering garbage like that. I knew we were dealing with a hasty script the moment orange grandma gave that bullshit line about "a story for another time" or whatever.

Because Star Wars is a fantasy, not scifi.

The prequels did expand the universe, and most of it wasnt bad.

you're a hack JJ fuck off

>weapon requires an entire sun to fire
>You could kill all life in a star system by removing the sun

why not just park giant star sucking machine in star system you want to fuck up

What were the goals of the first order anyway? They destroyed stuff...and then...? If they wanted to rule and create another empire why not just stay in the "unknown " regions and rule there? You're already stealing babies and making them soldiers might as well stay there

TFA fanboys are just as faggy as prequel fanboys, but you mongoloids are a cut below the rest

>just turn your brain off brah!!

Die in a fire

WHY WAS THERE A MAP TO LUKE

And others were able to take what it gave us and make some really great stuff, even if you hated what Lucas did.

Everything is just back to a creative square 1...with no path allowing any actual growth to the series.

>most of it wasn't bad

>Jar Jar
>Space politics
>midichlorians
>Darth Vader is Space Jesus
>Universe is populated by millions of Boba Fett clones

yeah, no, fuck off.

>>Universe is populated by millions of Boba Fett clones

This wasn't a bad thing.

They're probably looking for some force shit and the invasion is just to fool middle management tools

>And who the fuck cared about Alderaan in ANH?
Nobody really. But that is not important because the scene is mainly meant to show that the empire is ruthless and doesn't hold their promises.
It's different in TFA. Here it is meant to have an emotional impact, because unlike ANH you see the surface and the people on it.
But like Op implied you don't care at all about them so the scene just fails and you have even more questions like how did they shoot across the universe, the question in the Op etc.

I didn't even imply that faggot, cry more. If that shot "confused" you then please don't try cross a busy road without your carer

Star Wars has always been more Science Fantasy than Science Fiction. Wondering "how" something works is dumb

JJ's understanding of the sheer distance between planets is a joke.

In Star Trek 2009, Spock, stranded on an ice planet, looks up in the sky at Vulcan, a desert planet, as it gets destroyed. The planet he is on is a class M planet (Earth-like) called Delta Vega.

Vulcan as he sees it, is bigger in the sky than Earth seen from the Moon. It's fucking nonsense for the sake of a stronger visual.

Because it was a map to the first jedi temple, that Luke was looking for, not Luke himself, faggit

Moons maybe? Doesn't matter though honestly.

It's space you don't need a map you dumb faggot.

Why didn't R2 wake up till the end of the movie?

Like...seriously.

>Would be more suspenseful
>Would make more sense
>Could use the energy for something usefull instead

Why DIDN'T they do this?

>why are these planets so close together?

Those are Hosnia's moons.

>And who the fuck cared about Alderaan in ANH?

Leia. And because Leia means something to us, the destruction of Alderaan means something by extension. Getting an audience to care is movie making basics.

Kemplerer rosette. In the ringworld books, the puppeteers organized their planet's like this. I doubt Abrams actually intended for them to be a rosette though.

This trope is called a sequel hook and is frequently employed by money-hungry jewish studio directors

Because luke couldn't just tell leia where he was? He had to leave the map in two pieces, and the only important part of it in artoo, his best robot slave? How hard would it have been for him to say "oh btw I'm on vector smecktor 4 in the quadzillion area of gludios 12"? No he made a map for some reason then sent artoo back to leia and artoo randomly decides to go into powersave mode until the end of the movie.

Yes that makes sense. Oh wait, no it doesn't.

I thought they were a planet and it's moons. That being said they're still way too close, it's still convenient that they're all lined up to make a good shot

>i-it was a shallow rip off on purpose! JJ being self-aware of how shit his movie is compared to the originals makes it all ok!

S~stop it.

very, very lazy writing by people that don't care to have things make the slightest bit of sense.

Do you know how fucking big space is

even in ANH, where they didn't give a shit about "world-building" or whatever you fucking autistic children call it, Han said you needed accurate navigation charts to go to lightspeed or you'd get stuck inside a planet or something

Forgot pic

Dude, like, just... turn your brain off :^)

the movie was such utter shit by that point that visuals were all it had going for it

le contrarian face

le nuremberg rally in space

>even in ANH, where they didn't give a shit about "world-building"

You fucking spaz. Top kek.

Lmao no it didn't confuse me, it looked fucking retarded, as does every sci-fi movie jewjew makes. But hey, whatever man you enjoy shilling for disney's souless cash grabs, make sure you read the reviews so you know what opinion to take.

this thread is overflowing with autism

terraforming retard

>people don't like what I like?
>fucking autism!

>wondering how stuff works is dumb

Nah it's normal, you'll understand when you grow up

Terraforming doesn't change the position of planets retard.

This. JJ's sense of scale and distance is that of an 8 year old.

I haven't seen a single post point out anything wrong/bad about this analysis

That's because it's a load of pretentious wank m8.

it's projection. There's nothing meta about the movie except what you pretend is there.

See

Some of terraforming practices do, but if you can move planets then you can shield them from any harm. Like.. you can put giant mirrors in orbit or just forcefields around entire planet.

I'm not shilling at all you fucking idiot, i'm replying to some moron who didn't understand the shot, what you quoted me with had NOTHING to do with my post

>Nah it's normal, you'll understand when you grow up

Star Wars is basically fantasy set in space, it's NEVER been about the science behind it and explaining it, that's part of why midichlorians were rejected so strongly, but prequel babbies don't understand this

99% sure JJ didn't direct this movie

>Space politics
People like you are why TFA had 0 world building.
The film makers blew up the goddamn senate

Planetary climate is more than just distance from the Sun. Look up carbon cycles.

You're a fucking idiot

>see nothing at all
wew

WHEN WAS THAT ESTABLISHED IN THE FILM?
.
.
.
O wait they didn't.

I love this post

They needed time for yellow yoda to tell rey how speshul she was

No, no, no, no! You don't understand it's not like a Death Star at all...

It's bigger!

>literally has them show holograms showing that it's bigger-erer

See audience? It's huge! TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

The two movies in question are the 2009 Star Trek, and The Force Awakens from last year.

We'll wait right here while you go google them.

>the movie states that Starkiller Base draws its power from the Sun
I thought this was a galaxy far far away. What's our star doing there?

Not an argument

JJ has no sense of scale

W-what? You mean you can't call a star a sun? Autist!

First time Rey was at the rebel base I guess

maybe luke programmed R2 to go into a security lockdown incase he was captured by hostile forces and would only reactivate upon recieving the other map piece. If someone trys to forcibly open R2 then the map is probably wiped from his memory as a failsafe.

I would imagine Luke went into exile after failing to start a new jedi order. When he sees Rey the look on his face is one of surprise and regret as he knows shit is serious for someone to come find him as he didnt not want to be found.

No, JJ and Kasdan didn't waste time explaining the macguffin because Star wars isn't a fucking documentary that explains plot devices so you can fill up an autistic wookiepedia article

Convenience.

>as he didnt not want to be found.
then why did he make a map and not bring r2 with him?

>world building

The world only matters insofar as it affects the plot and characters. It's fiction nigger, who gives a shit about the fictional space senate and space politics

>that image
If Rey doesn't turn out to be Luke's or even Leia's long lost daughter, that scene is going to feel even more awkward.

ANH had a simple plot, but it wasn't dumb as shit like TFA

It was two souls connected in the Force coming together over the loss of a mutual loved one. Leia was comforting a girl who was otherwise alone. I mean I know Chewie was Hans best friend and all but we already got a chewie hug in the movie. The scene needs Rey for it to work.

What is it with you dipshits who insist she has to be related to Luke? The EU is retarded in that everyone who matters in the post RotJ Era is a skywalker

They're moons you fucking autismo loser
