Where the hell did the First Order get the proper funds to carve out half of a planet let alone construct their super weapon?

Does this thing has hyperspace? If not, how can it fire more than one time?

Stop asking questions you sexist racist pigs! J-just shut up and buy our porch merchandise goy fuck drumpf

Did you ever stop and notice that FICTION in the word "SCIENCE FICTION"?

Just turn your brain off xD
Its just a movie you butthurt misogynistic alt-right russian hacker troll

The FO has exactly the size and industrial capacity it needs to justify anything the plot wants. They apparently went out and conquered the entire galaxy in the coupple of hours between TFA and TLJ.

Did you notice the “science” in it?

melange contraband

That still doesn't give you the excuse for your story not making a lick of sense, Disney.

I was commenting on Rey, you retard.

Snoke runs casino planet and can take out loans cause he's got a good credit score

Next question faggot

Uhh, didn't somebody say that the only reason why the First Order is in charge of the galaxy was because the Base destroyed the entire New Republic and that scene wasn't just one solar system?

Good question. TFA raised a lot of interesting questions which could've been answered if TLJ was a good movie.

Now that are some good questions, but do you remember the prequels or how bad ESB was recieved? Lets rather talk about that

So, if the FO is so efficient and the republic so shitty, are the authors implying that the FO deserves the galaxy?
After all, all the Holdo story teaches us that you should not question authority so they are perhaps implying that FO's philosophy is the right one.
LMAO at those retards that accuse nu-SW of having a SJW agenda.

Did you ever stop and notice that Death Stars almost tanked GALACTIC economy and this shit is 3 times bigger and was built by people who have nowhere near the resources of Galactic Empire?
No you didn't because you are the Transformers audience they hoped to pull in with this braindead megalomaniacal set piece blowing up shitshow.

Why didn't they use Starkiller base to ram Republic ships?

Fictitious science meaning BULLSHIT SCIENCE.

What funds? You blow the fuck out of the planet with your fleet of star destroyers and then get to work.

The Unknown Regions, idiot.

Planet was mined out.

No one cares. No one at Disney ever thought about the logic of Starkiller base, which is proven by how this "ultimate weapon" is never mentioned or even acknowledged in TLJ. It was just there to serve as a giant reset switch so that Republic can be underdog Rebels and the First Order can be Galactic empire again, and that was it.

While I think Star Wars is fucking normie garbage, I am sincerely offended that you imply that I enjoy a genuine dumpster fire like Transformer movies.

Fuck you.

From the outer rim.

You alt-right brainlets really are pathetic.

In the new Thrawn book the new canon has established this as well. The death star required so much of the metal starships are made out of that the empires consumption of it caused the metal to skyrocket in price and almost into precious metal territory.

Casino money

WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST GET THE FUCKING EAGLES TO FLY THEM TO MORDOR!?

GODFUCKING DAMN IT!

.....thats not how you hollow out a planet user. This would just destroy the planet. Also how do you have the funds for a giant fleet of Star Destroyers?

And the republic has no idea it exists until it's done

Casinos

The first Death Star was only mentioned once in the Empire Strikes Back and that was just in the opening scrawl.

They got a loan from Cerberus Bank

>SNOKE WAS ABLE TO BUILT THIS IN A CAVE OF THE UNKNOWN REGIONS...WITH A BOX OF SCRAP

>this braindead megalomaniacal set piece blowing up shitshow

Pray tell what the Death Star was friend?

The techno union army was at their disposal

Is that a sentient rotten tooth in a mech suit?

>getting THIS upset that they didn't explain the tax policy of an evil space warlock running an evil empire in a fantasy movie

>>getting THIS upset that they didn't explain the tax policy of an evil space warlock

Isn't that pretty much what they tried to do with the prequels?

Death star 2 and 3 were fucking retarded though, its the exact same thing on repeat.
the force awakens was literally just a new hope reskinned

Clones = disposable labor.

nice strawman

>LMAO at those retards that accuse nu-SW of having a SJW agenda.

The agenda is the past is the past nothing matters accept your feelings, now dont think about it

The writing in these new films are as bad as the Prequels and hype modern slang talk has no place near the Original Trilogy. Disney is making a mockery of this series and their media drones shield them from criticism.

Star Wars is also fantasy, that's why it's so cool

>"Its just a movie bro xDDDD"
>"Who cares, its just a FANTASY maaan"
>"The movie is set in space!? Hello? Just turn your brain off"

Space Trumps casino with the euro looking turtle and capybara aliens

stop trying to make sense of this fucking shit pile. Disney doesn't have answers. They are making it up as they go.

>WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH WHY AREN'T MY NONSENSE MOVIES MORE LOGICAL!?!?!?!

Please kill yourself.+

Are you a nigger?

No.

Taxes

In the star wars universe all planets all stuffed together in one tiny area.

forget 'funds'

manpower, logistics, raw material availability, energy production.... TIME ITSELF are all much bigger constraints

how do you feed, maintain, and direct an entire planet's worth of people using external resources on a singular project as large as the planet itself? it's hard enough for one office to get anything done, much less every single person on Earth towards one common end

It's clearly explained that they have a large amount of the galaxy supporting them including the filthy rich. Same as our wars are funded in history - by a small minority.

That's not how it works, you cock biter.
Stories aren't just making shit up, and SF is proper storytelling
plus the addition of one or more fantastic elements, which is
even harder to wrangle.

When you inject a new idea or concept into a story, you have to
account for it's existence and it's effects on people and events.
Otherwise you're what's known as a "talentless hack".

>Original Star Wars wasn't just making shit up

Stop posting now. I'd tell you to go tie a noose and hang yourself but I'm pretty sure you're too fucking stupid to even know how to tie a noose.

Well good thing this thing wasn't made of Metal

They literally explained this in the movie. The beams themselves enter hyperspace

Looks like a third of the planet's surface and a a majority of the mantle has been replaced by metal bud. That's a lot.

Probably from the galaxy wide empire that preceded them

.... Is that really what they say?

then you're a honorary one

Jeez, that sick AF reply sure took you a while to come up with.

perhaps because I'm not him

Also starkiller base should have exploded from absorbing energy from a star

But the base itself absorbs a sun to work.
No hyperspace means it will shoot once.

kekked

I was talking more about the energy source.

>destroy the empire and take over as the new government
>the empire still controls it anyway

at this point I'm starting to think the Empire is the rightful ruler of the galaxy and the rebels are a bunch of bothersome scum. They clearly have far more public support, more effective leadership, and far better economic output. They keep winning even when they lose.

Thank you for reminding me to brush my teeth user

Well the New Republic disarmed itself other than a small central force. The senate was full of passive morons who did not fear another threat, while the other part of the senate supported another strong government and helped the First Order. Snoke was found from the Imperial Remnant that escaped into deep space after the battle of Jakku. They found Snoke and some how were able to make allies back home with the help of Snoke and his resources to rebuild.

The Republic deserved it. This is what happens when you're peace freaks and have no deterrent. They literally scrapped their fleet after RotJ, because they're fucking morons and clearly don't deserve to be in power. You should always have a standing army, even if it's a small one.

Underrated

yes

Some of us have jobs and families you worthless nigger.

The Republic = Space liberals.
>let's cut our costs and put everyone on space welfare! then no one will hate us and there will be peace and love in the galaxy! teehee
Until Space Korea, aka Mandalorians, who practically worship war and battle, come out of deep space and push your shit in.

...

those evil rich aliens from the cassino planet

Yes, and the point of science fiction is to imagine a tangible world shaped by the implications of technology. You mong

A 4-headed dragon being ridden by a clown isn't "science fiction" because crazy shit is happening

We aren't asking for a detailed blueprint of the superweapon built into a fucking planet, just some kind of sensical bearing in the universe the movie created

The very idea, that a government which has just toppled another regime would immediately "disarm" and completely ignore irredentist activity from that regime for 30 years, is so unbelievably stupid it's almost contemptuous of the audience.

I don't think a movie should punish you for paying attention, or thinking about it for longer than a single second.

In the mystery box.

Yeah everyone knows that, but the station succs up an entire star to fuel it's weapon. If it can't enter hyperspace it can't relocate and that means it can fire it's primary weapon exactly once and then it's useless because it will take decades or centuries under conventional propulsion to get to another star to succ.

This is so fucking dumb, even by Star Wars standards.

smoke?

Star Wars is "Science-Fantasy", not Science-Fiction.

Did you read what he said or did you just reply without reading

it sucks another star in through hyperspace

Did you really think that star wars was anything more than a childish space opera meant to sell toys?

That thing doesn't make any sense.

Tell me how you make that to a planet.

Is that why it's called "Star" Wars?

fucking retarded idea, take the US navy as an example , they have multiple carrier strike group deployed around the world , some in dock for maintenance / repair . You cant annihilate the whole USN with one strike . Why would you regroup all your military asset on one system there is a fucking Galaxy to

burgerlard that is the most jingoist comparison I've ever heard
yeas you very much could annhilate your rust-bucket navy, it's just you've only ever "fought" 3rd world shitholes, so facing something like a mass cruise missile attack seems "impossible" to you
meanwhile russians can strike your ships with sub-launched ICBM from a different hemisphere and there's literally nothing you can do about it, but hope MAD saves you

Why did they need to send the shots through hyperspace at the cost of a star and a planet when they could have just as easily sent millions of tiny suicide ships or pieces of metal with engines through at hyperspace for the same effect at a much lower cost?

>rust-bucket navy
It's the single most powerful navy in the world. No single existing country has the force projection or even intel to hit all of those targets without blanket attacks from ICBMs, which even then would miss a number of our own subs, and in which case MAD would obviously be a concern. The Republic in SW has no equivalent to a Starkiller base.

The US has ICBM launching subs, too, so even if Russia were, in the unlikely scenario, able to wipe out most of the American fleet, they would still be fucked. In fact, targeting the fleet would be retarded, because at that point you've initiated Dooms Day anyway and may as well just hit the infrastructure of the US.

but user, they had to cut military spending in order to afford all those social programs!

Goddamn why does it even fire a beam if it can do this? Just eat a star and all the planets orbiting it hurtle off into oblivion while everyone freezes to death

>First Order has the capacity to build Dyson Spheres, making them a Type II civilization and near gods
>use it to build a single unnecessary weapon instead
The energy output alone would have allowed them to simply overwhelm the resistance by pumping out ships and droids faster than they could destroy them. There's a reason why most sci-fi empires don't have this kind of technology.

Why isn’t the entire galaxy in chaos for fnthe entire government just got blown up by a group of terrrorists literally one hour ago

Death Star and Death Star II: Electric Boogaloo must henceforth be referenced as Baby Starkiller and Baby Starkiller II: Electric Boogaloo.
Thank you.

Imagine all that manpower and they still can't crush the tiny resistance. I mean for the construction at least millions if not billions of workers would have been needed.

I don't get why people look at Dyson Sphere's like some godlike tech. Yes, you can harvest nearly unlimited energy, great, but that's worthless without the materials to construct what you need, which will require a lot more infrastructure than just a Dyson Sphere.

That was literally how World War 2 happened.

But yes it’s fucking retarded in universe.
