Jedha’s Kyber Crystals Came From an Asteroid in ‘Rogue One’, But Where Did the Asteroid Come From?..
This was one of the dumbest things in R1. If you go back and look at the original trilogy, there was no pseudo-scientific explanation for how anything worked. Lightsabers simply existed, a very small number of people had them and used them, and that’s all you needed to know.
As this was a spin-off anthology film, I might have found something like this interesting, if the filmmakers had really made a true science-fiction film, including extensive research and thorough presentation. But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking “yeah, that’ll work”.
It wasn’t Star Wars. It wasn’t science fiction. I don’t know what it was.
I’m not 100% sure what you are referring to in your post?
Do you mean that Jedha was full of materials (kyber crystals) that were being mined to power the weapon for the Death Star? (And that also, before the fall of the Republic, that these crystals were used to power the lightsabres of the Jedi?)
Or that this easter egg - likely many people watching Rogue One will never know about, or likely even think about, that asteroid crashing on planet full of these crystals originated elsewhere - which’ll (for the hard-core fans) opens of the possibility of a comic, book, cartoon adaptation as to that origin - or just something to talk about?
Or you are using a post about this easter egg to further continue your trend of posts that seemingly tries to pass off your opinion as fact - on how rubbish you found it? For eg, “But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking ‘yeah, that’ll work’”
