It seems like a lot of people have the idea that in order to enjoy a movie they have to like, defend, and justify every single aspect of it.
I don’t think so. I don’t love the idea of Star Destroyers entering atmospheres, the Evazan cameo, or the lack of Moroff screen time to name just a few. It’s not a perfect film at all, but it’s still a film that I really love.
And I really dig Vader in this movie and enjoy discussing and debating his appearance in it.
Vader should have said “Needa hand there, Captain?” to stay in character.
Yes. This is exactly the level the R1 pun is on. Vader didn’t talk like that.
I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I don’t think Vader’s actual pun is nearly as lame as that. In fact, I think it sounds very much like something he’d have said in the OT (particularly reminiscent of “apology accepted” as he flipping KILLS the guy…) and have no problem with it.

I think the idea that a Star Destroyer can enter the atmosphere has been around a while. The old making of ESB paperback mentions a scene that never made the final cut where the Rebel troops on Hoth look up to see a SD overhead. And we’ve never seen exactly how Imperial Walkers are dispatched.
We haven’t, though in TLJ you can see walker transport ships in the hangar on the Supremacy.
As for a star destroyer in the atmosphere, I’m not sure I understand that complaint.
