I did show him that you guys were working so hard on this. He thought that was funny.

Then, on the way to work, I read this:

Endor wasnt entirely a forest and large portions of the Death star crashed into its seas after the battle of Endor.

Early versions of TFA script have Luke swimming around in the wreckage under the water looking for something from the Emproros chamber.
They even had concept art for it.


So, yeah, Endor could exist.

Interesting read, but it's making a huge assumption that Life in these galaxies works the exact same way it does in ours. Maybe life evolved differently, and thus, doesn't require the same necessities to live that we do?

Sure, they LOOK human.....

...........But are they?

What's the bigger "plot hole:" that Rey speaks Wookie or that Rey speaks droid?

And do all droids speak the same language? Why does C3PO speak English? He understands R2 but he never bleep-bloops back at him. What a dick.

I already solved the fact that Rey is the daughter of Maz kanata and chewie.

But seriously, I just thought it was by nature of growing up where she did. She has to barter/communicate with a tremendous variety of species. It actually doesn't bother me at all that she speaks multiple languages. I think it would be weird if she didn't, actually.

A lot of the talk in this thread has me thinking, along with a tweet I saw the other day about "suspending disbelief" and movies.

The tweet was referencing why was Han Solo's ship not able to see that Boba Fett's Ship was following them on radar or whatever they use. I instantly just thought of a reason why (he's a bounty hunter, he probably has some sort of anti-detection thing!), and then started thinking my willingness to cut film makers slack in so many of these things that people are quick to call "plot holes."

Personally, within reason, I don't want movies to become explaining each and every detail just to avoid getting picked apart.
