Cool link! I feel like barely heard any of this in the movie.

This is a random idea that probably would look weird. But what if we recolored the Starkiller Base laser from red to blue or white? It might seem weird, since blue or white aren’t “bad” or intimidating colors, but I was thinking that the weapon could be portrayed as a literal “hyperspace canon”. So instead of it being another Kyber crystal-powered super laser, they have basically weaponized hyperspace. So maybe a hyperspace light effect could be applied to the laser, as well as distorted hyperspace sound effects. Maybe it wouldn’t work, but I think it could make Starkiller Base more interesting at least.

EDIT: It would also parallel Holdo’s hyperspace kamikaze in a fun way. Both sides weaponized hyperspace in different ways, and destroyed each other’s capitals (since the Supremacy was described as a moving capital for the First Order).
