Incredible. You’d really make a brilliant screenwriter.Indeed. At least compared to ZkinandBonez whose writing principle would be “I will only make this thing for the sake of plot”.
Yeah, plot is always the stoopidest parts of a movie. I am guessing you prefer to go by “I will make this thing because I said so. Trust me, I’m an engineer.”
No I would go by “I will make this as it is required by plot but I will make it logical”.
Then ZkinandBonez said it best. Logic has always played a second fiddle at best in Star Wars. The same goes for “originality”. Those are not the elements that make a great Star Wars movie, unless you consider most of the OT utterly terrible.
The problem is that some people are willing to cut the OT much bigger slack that they are willing to do for TFA. In that case any discussion is pointless.
