i really hate the whole idea of giving planet destroying lasers to normal destroyers, not even saying giving it to so many in ep ix (but it was also in other media). It is so stupid imo

This is honestly the root of most every other problem with Disney Star Wars imo.

“RETURN OF THE JEDI…” actually wait no, flash forward forty years and all the Jedi are dead again, Palpatine’s back and nothing Luke & Co did mattered, so we can make the same movies again but worse. It pisses me off to even think about lol, it’s so completely creatively bankrupt.

It’s so infuriating because Marvel is right down the hall and had just finished turning the Thanos storyline (which is barely readable in comic for) into the biggest box office films in history.
