[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7308012, member: 16814"] Weird. I know you know how the quote button works. I assume you're addressing my post? The same place I said that you did -- nowhere? E7 starts with the Republic in power and full of hope, with Luke having started a Jedi Academy before Ben Solo turned to the Dark side and destroyed it, with Han running scams. Okay, so that last one's the same, but the nothing else is in 'the same place' as E4. If I stretch, I assume you mean that the galaxy is in bad shape overall? I do put that down as a failure of storytelling, in that the state of the galaxy is often told but not shown (h/t [MENTION=6796241]OB1[/MENTION]) in the new movies, but nothing is further from the truth. The new series are about how evil returns, but there were many good years in between and the Republic remains. So, is it that you didn't like the choices for crisis these characters were put in, and would have preferred an equally bad but different state, or that you would have preferred they not be put into crisis at all? Because the latter is a non-starter for a movie about heroes. To be true to the characters as built in the OT, they [I]had [/I]to be put into crisis because that's what Star Wars is all about.
