Bigger walkers, and First Order having the upper hand confirmed!

So now (finally, unless this rumor isn’t true, which probably is) there’s no more ground to say that the ST won’t replicate or mimic (if you find the word too bold) the political background of the OT.

So the nazis that fled to Argentina as a fringe group, somehow managed to gather resources they didn’t even have in Germany…

Yeah, if this is true, I’m not digging it. I already thought the First Order was too much like the Empire when realistically it should be a shell of it’s former self.

Not with the right funding they shouldn’t.

Perhaps. But why would they waste those funds on making the Stormtrooper armor more visually pleasing to look at, why waste it on another Death Star when the first two didn’t work? I feel like that’s just an excuse for the First Order being aesthetically lazy. And it’s not that I’m against in-universe excuses for out-of-universe problems, but the excuses can only go so far.

Well it’s been 30 years so I would have been disappointed if they just rehashed the OT suits.

That’s kinda what they did, though. They made a slight visual upgrade, but other than that it’s almost the same suit.

It’s a little more than slight in my eye but I feel you. Wouldn’t have been the worse thing in the world if they had gone with another regime to fight against instead of the remnants of The Empire. Would give the film makers a change of making competent threats more commonplace.
