JJ Abrams didn't write the script.
Not interested.
Not to mention that CBS has no real reason to erase the Kelvin timeline.
Nick Meyer doesn't really have a great track record either, what with the Reliant failing to detect Ceti Alpha 6's destruction, Uhura suddenly needing books to speak Klingon, Klingons not being able to cry despite crying in Day of the Dove, cloaked ships being detectable via emissions, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting.Username checks out
Also, how many people can truly comprehend the size of the galaxy? I mean, even Praxis had an explosion that reached the Neutral Zone with enough power to rattle the Excelsior really good. What's the rationale for that?
It's easier to blame Abrams. That is the way of the internet.
Yeah, it infuriated me that he made that exact same bone-headed decision TWICE. And it was even dumber the second time around.
So are we to interpret that the entire galaxy can "see" Starkiller base firing? Um, what now...???
Yes but in Star Trek's world, where exploding Klingon moons damage starships in Federation space, and a mycellial thingie in the mirror universe threatened to somehow destroy the entire multiverse, it's very possible that it somehow threatened the galaxy.
Kurtzman aside, Picard is being written by a totally different team of people with their own storytelling agendas. Whatever the original intent was (and the ST'09 mind meld scene was heavily altered from what was scripted originally, and JJ was tinkering with it until 2 weeks before the theatrical release), they may retcon it as easily as they did all that TOS lore when Discovery began.
I'm only the most casual of Star Wars fans, but I thought all the destroyed worlds were close by in the same system, a la Vulcan and Delta Vega in ST'09.
I thought Maz's cantina planet was remote, not at the centre of the Resistance's headquarters! Besides, if the First Order went through all the trouble of destroying every other planet in the system, why spare that one?
HUX: Fire!!
FO OFFICER: Um.. Sir. There are 5 resistance planets, but our Starkiller death beam splits into only 4 separate streams.
HUX: Damn! OK, let's go there in person instead with only a few fighters -- and bring our most important Dark Side force guy too. That's pretty much the same as destroying the whole planet.
It’s not going to be erased. Those movies still happened.
None taken, since that's exactly what it is.
What lore?
They were. It was the Hosinian System, the current capital of the New Republic. The attack was a strategic one to eliminate both the leadership and their navy.
It was. What in the world are you talking about? Starkiller targeted the New Republic capital.
The First Order sent Kylo Ren to retrieve the map to Luke Skywalker after tracking the Millennium Falcon. So, destroying Maz's cantina planet of Takodana would have been counterproductive to the purpose Kylo was sent on.
The real reason is because it is a movie about space wizards not a documentary.
Not blaming anyone for anything... well.. it's just not the Internetz way...As long as we can blame someone, right?
Then I shall rebel against the Ways of the Internetz.
