If it's a Starkiller planet that kills a sun and thus the planets around the sun, how do they move it around?
Or does it just strike from that fixed position? Across the galaxy? Or vast spaces to the sun the want to hit? If so it only can hit a supremely thin wedge along its equatorial orbit.


Deadly weapon fail
If Starkiller is on a planet and destroys the sun, won't the planet just spin off into space?
Not if the planet is really flat

2. It's 100% a dumb weapon, because it destroys all the resources and infrastructure that you could have used if you'd claimed that planet/system. It's like using nukes in a civil war.

3. It's a lazy creative decision for a Star Wars movie to make. Like, one of the laziest choices they could make at this point.
1. True, probably why they stuck it in a planet

2. Gotta win first. And there's a lot of planets out there. Making an omlette, etc.

3. You got me there

It's ok B. Go back to sleep.


It doesn't kill its own sun. It kills other Suns.

There are a great many rumours about JJ following the template of ANH to such an extent that there's another trench run in this film.

Looks likely from the layout and X wing battle.


But clips show Chewie blowing it or something up.

OMG, it just occurred to me that one of the heroes is held prisoner and tortured by the Vader stand-in. Good lord. Over/under on him being busted out of captivity by Han, Finn, and Rey?

ugh. lucas you are a clown.

http://time.com/4129406/star-wars-georg ... w_facebook
Lucas says Han shooting first in the Mos Eisley cantina — which is what happened in the original edit of 1977’s debut Star Wars film — ran against the character’s principles. “Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, ‘Should he be a cold-blooded killer?’” Lucas asks. “Because I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, ‘Yeah, he should be John Wayne.’ And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot. It’s a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to.”

You know damn well what he is insinuating, and he loves michael bay, thus is opinion is about as ridiculous as george lucas opinion on greedo shooting first.
