What about Scarif Base? A Hammerhead Corvette pushed an Imperial Star Destroyer into another Star Destroyer, which in turn destroyed the shielded gate. Why not use a Hyperspace Drone to destroy the shield gate? Let's go back to Episode I: Why not use Hyperspace Drones to destroy the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo? |

The Leia thing never bothered me, as it had been established for DECADES that she had been trained in the force by Luke to some degree, culminating in her very proficient use of a lightsaber by the time we reach her current age within the "Disney Era". Fans who have followed these characters rather intently post-Jedi knew that some demonstration of force abilities by Leia would be forthcoming, though they knew not what shape they would take. As to the hyperspace massacre, I can see your point but the OT would have been rather bland had their been no spaceship battles in a 'Star Wars'. At this point in the film, the rebellion is down to practically nothing and it makes all the sense in the universe that a desperation move would be used by one person who could potentially save the remaining rebel assets. The mechanics of hyperspace and other such Star Trekkian aspects should have little to do with the fact that this Admiral saw an opening and went for it. She was going to die anyway, was resigned to the fact, and did what she had to do to save her friends and allies. And in the end, it was a FAR more incredible display of heroics and sacrifice than simply blowing up yet ANOTHER goddamned super weapon. |

$1.27 BILLION globally so far. Biggest gross of any 2017 movie. I think Disney is going to make a few nickels on this movie after all.

People are ****ing insane. This movie beats the ever-living piss out of Horn Rims 'lack of imagination'-fest.
Thank. God. |

If Disney is inflating these figures, wont that cost them more money when they have to pay out the % to the film makers? |

To me the EU never was. I only watched the films. I absolutely adored the OT and hated the prequels. Quote:

She's been associated with some of the best work Spielberg ever did. George Lucas didn't pick her to run his empire for no reason. |

What did she do (at the time) for those films? Weinstein produced more great films (arguably) than any other money man in history (forget his sexual misconduct for this argument.) Is he a creative genius?... |
