How do long distance communication work in the star wars universe?

How can communication not be instantaneous, but you can see other planets on other sides of the galaxy get blown up in real time with your own eyes when you look up at the sky?

I will agree with you (for once) that this part of TFA was stupid.

Like the topic of this thread, for me that falls under “really don’t give a shit.”

What movies do you consider canon?
Time

Something being “official” or not shouldn’t matter. What does is the idea of whether something “happened” in the continuity of a story. These things are important only as far as they impact the story.

I see no problem with not having a canon, and no problem with having one. If you want to add another layer to these stories, fine. If not, who cares?

I don’t really have a personal canon of what I think really “happened” but I do have certain pieces of SW that I like and certain pieces that I don’t. There is a distinction between the two concepts.

I must say though I love a highly improbable comeback so I am starting to enjoy this game (also because it’s just been boring up till now).

Boring‽ are you nuts‽‽‽‽‽‽‽

I meant the first half. Second half (fourth quarter and OT especially) was probably some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen.

Goddammit Pats. I was so ready to hate you winning this game. But then you had to go and make it a crazy comeback and now I can’t help but smile.

I’ve been glad to not be too into sports because otherwise being a fan of the most hated team in the league would be frustrating.

But lately, with the Trump connection, I can’t help but sympathize with the haters. It’s annoying too because not a single state in New England voted for him.

ROTJ is the best Star Wars film... discuss!

ROTJ has that horrible music sequence which drives me nuts. It’s a foreshadowing of the cringe-worthy moments in the prequels, me thinks.

I disagree that any scene in ROTJ is “horrible”

What of Ewok story time? That was pretty bad man…

I’m fine with storytime but it turns to absolute lunacy once 3PO says “We are now part of the tribe”.

The ROTJ novelization really makes the scene worth while. After 3PO’s story, Luke pleads to the Ewoks to join the Rebels and fight against the Empire. Don’t know if this was cut from the film or not but it makes the “part of the tribe” make a bit more sense.
