Everything Star Wars!!! Even the new Disney Bantha food. That's not Star Wars, but oh well*

Or say maybe a thematically more fitting planet like Malachor V?

It would fit the stupid theme of the film better than some random shithole next to the evil red electricity gas giant

I think Filoni was not into the job... he knew the pressure would be immense, & his creative hands would be tied. He's just too clever to get into that situation

I shouldn't have doubted, the critics were wrong, holy feck what an amazing movie.

That's pretty good.

*Snort* Sure homie, blame the people that have been spat on and had their intelligence challenged for the last half decade for being sick of this incarnation of something they used to love, it isn't the fault of the people managed to make every idiot move in the book...

Seriously though, this defense of the plot contrivances is weak to actually return to the point. Because the Death Star had a weakness to exploit without it seeming like an utter waste of time, oxygen and brain cells unlike this nonsense. Same for its sequel, same for the Lucrehulk in episode 1, basically anything that wasn't episode 7 or 9 actually managed to successfully do this without anything but minor issues. They managed to convey that these things are dangerous, are designed to be dangerous, they aren't something that approached casually or without difficulty and the fucking worst bit is that "Resistance" Fleet, doesn't even need to use the dumb fucking homing transponder plot mcguffin that was established in this very movie, it literally only applies to the faction that lives there.

...You know the people that have been there for three decades.

False. All we want (the real fans) is three things; a story that honors the characters (new or old) and is respectful to the lore. Secondly a COHERENT PLOT. Thirdly a satisfying conclusion (that if it MUST have identity politics in it they're subtle & don't de-rail the entire fucking narrative)

It's really not much to ask

Apparently, it is...

sigh... sorry if my words poked a tender spot.

But really at this point, I liked it and these movies... you did not. That's all the point I was trying to make and maybe your energies would be better spent then talking about a franchise you clearly despise.

I wasn't blaming you for the state of things at all.

That's my point.  If you can program all the droids not to give the translation, why not program them not to be able to read it at all.  That should have been the law.  That makes much more sense.  But that's not even my biggest problem.  My biggest problem is that all of this was only thrown in, like most other things in this movie to create the next quest.  Things never before seen or mentioned in the universe were just pulled out of thin air to keep the story going or create something they needed.  Even if they had to just make up new force powers.  It was just poor storytelling all around.  It was painstakingly obvious that all of the movies in this trilogy were created independent of each other, with no plan in the beginning.
