[QUOTE="ZzarkLinux, post: 7689568, member: 77932"] [b]Re: Was StarDestroyer necessary?[/b] I'm late to the discussion, but reading Umbran & Jester discuss plot, I think has helped me understand my displeasure with the movie. Thanks to both of you for stimulating my ideas. SHORT VERSION: The First Order SHOULD HAVE ATTACKED the Resistance Base. The movie got it backwards, and it broke my immersion. The plot incoherently jumped from "First Order is chasing Rey" to "Big Bad Enemy has a Weapon of Doom". CASUAL READING VERSION: The whole first-half of the movie was "First Order is hunting for Rey" and the First Order should have attacked the Resistance Base. It continues the theme of the movie: First Order sends army to hunt Rey & hunt Resistance. The First Order pursues and attacks. The Resistance evades the threat. Rey evades the threat. Star Destroyer breaks that plot in half. Instead of StarDestroyer as a theat, add a "the First Order has an Attack Fleet" as the threat. I was expecting First Order to be a big bad army, not a bunch of pansies who hide on a planet. By attacking the Resistance: (1) First Order captures Rey & interrogates her in the fleet (2) The fleet continues moving towards the Resistance Base, same theme as before (3) The fleet attacks Resistance Base. Lots of battle. (4) The Rebel Base has "Defense Cannon" which fires at the First Order (5) The First Order's mothership is disabled in the skies above Resistance Base Now the movie can continue exactly as before: The First Order wants to land on the planet to eliminate the Resistance. The Resistance wants to board the First Order mothership to destroy it's shields and free Rey. Tie Fighter battles in the sky. Sneaky Hans Solo on the First Order mothership. Lightsabre battle on the Resistance Base planet. Instead of Rey casually visiting Luke, now the pressure can escalate with the Resistance barely survivong and Rey anxious to get help from Luke. Anyway, I think that I would have liked that movie more. Everyone's a critic :-) [/QUOTE]
