It feels like Leia was meant to have a big role in IX


Yeah, the idea was for each of the three major OT heroes to be a central character in each movie, and then they'd disappear off the scene. It was meant to be a passing of the torch from the old generation to the new. Leia was supposed to be last, so now they'll have to figure out how to work around Carrie Fisher's passing. Force Ghost Luke will probably have a bigger role now than originally intended.

There was a line about the Resistance ships being "just far enough out of range for cannon fire to be effective"... but then why not just close the range? Why not send 50 TIE fighters to take down the main ship during such an exhaustingly long chase? I'm sure this was addressed but I can't remember it.


The main ship can breach the shields if it's close enough, but it's slower than the Resistance ship because it's heavier. The TIE Fighters aren't strong enough to breach the shields on their own. I think that's the gist of the explanation they gave at any rate.

Seriously, in two movies, I think he's gotten knocked out like five times.


I mean the dude's a former Storm Trooper so he's effectively a mook with a face turn

if he were still a bad guy he'd definitely be dead at this point
