Technically, yes, but it actually still has support from senators in the New Republic, and they still draw funding from the wealthy core worlds which the First Order no longer can. darkknight109 posted... ParanoidObsessive posted...The math doesn't even remotely add up. Because it kinds of underlines the fact that overthinking the implied finances as if it actually means anything in terms of narrative or setting is generally a flawed argument, because the people in this topic have now spent more time thinking about it than literally anyone ever involved in writing or directing a Star Wars movie ever has. The only people who ever really obsessed over the details like that were people who wrote for the EU... but that's also part of why the EU writers were mostly insane and why most of what they wrote was hot liquid shit (and is now entirely uncanon). darkknight109 posted... Strongly disagree. Not in the sense that you're shortchanging the sequels (there are some obvious logical issues there), but in the sense that I think you're forgetting just how completely nonsensical the prequels were. No, I think I remember full well how completely nonsensical the prequels were. But I also think you're willfully ignoring how completely nonsensical the sequels (as they currently exist as a whole) are. darkknight109 posted... The sequels have their issues, but let's not pretend that the prequels weren't steaming dumpster fires, *especially* when it comes to logical consistency. I would agree 100%. Which is what makes it so absolutely tragic that The Last Jedi somehow winds up being worse. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
