I don’t care!
Seriously, this is the kind of shit that takes the fun out of these movies for me. Let’s not get all Star Trek and have to explain every damn thing. It’s space fantasy. Let it go…
It’s fine that you don’t care, I don’t care all that much just thought it was interesting enough to talk about and maybe I picked the wrong title, I’m not looking for an explanation, I know it’s fantasy not science fiction.
It’s just something in Rouge One that seemed inconsistent with the OT, like the hyper-drive in Force Awakens being effectively instantaneous, just seems like the people making these films don’t quite understand the foundations they’re building upon.
