Sorry to keep banging on about this, but this really grinds my gears. Just to point out how poorly concieved TLJ is, and how it undermines the earlier films, here’s an image:

The size of the Supremacy is 60,000 meters. The size of the first Death Star is 160,000 meters. The Death Star is bigger, but not that much bigger. Why did the rebels have to steal the plans, and send a small group of rebel ships to destroy the Death Star? Why not just take multiple cruisers piloted by droids, and have them hyperspace through it, destroying the space station? That would have surely saved a lot of lifes.


-Edit-

DrDre, I accidentally added my comments to your post when I meant to quote. I’ve restored your post and quoted further down the page. That’s the reason it shows your post was edited. Sorry about that.

I really hate that Disney movies do not have a SCALE for anything.

  • The First Order is too big. Should have been a fringe organization, not the Empire again.
  • The New Republic was too small / weird / never shown. And then we blew it up, and it seems to be completely gone.
  • Starkiller Base was too big. Ridiculous. Ruins the Death Star.
  • Snoke’s ship was insanely big. Ruins the entire space chase. If it was a single Star Destroyer chasing a single Rebel ship, that would have possibly a cool/thrilling/dramatic chase. U-Boat vibes! Callback to A New Hope!

Just have some normal sized ships, dudes. No need to outdo every previous movie.
