Fine, we'll add a throw-away line about how stupid it is that they haven't launched thousands of TIE fighters. All through the movie there are absolutely insane events that are occurring because the script is so lazy and they skirt the issues with some slapstick humor or a dumb line.
Had such high expectations for this movie -- but starting to see that Star Wars has gone off the rails...
Yeah, that Dreadnought was supposed to be the equivalent of 5 miles wide yet they didn't have enough TIE's on board to wipe out 20 escape pods? [Reply]

completely wasting the talent of Benicio Del Toro. I mean, why?
At least he could deliver his lines in a believable manner. I actually liked his last line a lot, but again it's sort of a summary for the whole film not really being all that relevant in the first place.
The whole mission to Casino planet was a complete waste of time and actually, as a Reddit contributor pointed out, it actually led to all the third-act problems the Resistance encountered. None of the side-quests were completed or helped advance the story in any way. [Reply]

The whole "we're going to take the entire movie to chase the Resistance" was stupid beyond words. [Reply]

At this point, I don't care. This movie did nothing to move the Star Wars galaxy forward. If anything, it took it backwards, like further back than TFA, which was a Beat-By-Beat clone of A New Hope.
We all knew what was going to happen in Rogue One and it was still fucking bad ass to the bone.
This was an epic disaster. I might be lucky to match R1's box office. [Reply]

Well, at least they saved some Space Horses [Reply]

I hope it makes less than Rouge one.
R1 was a much better movie even jokes felt less forced in R1 then this trash movie.
How many times did they have to try and use General Hux for comedic effect ? [Reply]

The jokes in this movie reminded me a lot of George Lucas' humor from the prequels. If something isn't quite working let's have some slapstick or a fart or something... [Reply]
I don’t want to spoil it. It’s not even DIRECTLY from STAR WARS. But the nine people in the Shrine premiere that got it howled. Everyone look closely tomorrow. And @rianjohnson confirmed it to me. https://t.co/FuRzKtZnfr
