    I remember sitting in the theater for Force Awakens. I remember the last preview finished, and I had a sense of excitement, because I didn’t know what would happen. It wasn’t based on a book or comic, it could be anything.

    Then I watched A New Hope, but worse.

    I understand it’s scifi, but the stupid planet laser is one of the dumbest things Ive ever seen. Was the beam faster than light? Did it go through hyperspace? How’d they focus the laser at stellar distances? Is it a super weapon because it can destroy a couple planets or because it can shoot a mega laser beam through hyperspace or snuff out a star? Idiots.

      It’s fantasy, no star war film ever stood up to scientific scrutiny
