Pretty much sums up my feelings on the ST. Nothing that happens is a stretch for me.
Spoilers Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Nowhere in The Rise of Skywalker does it say or even imply that Poe "walked away from being a Spice Runner to join the Resistance".
Keri Russell literally says Poe screwed them over when he quit their gang to join the Resistance.
Not everything that a person says is meant to be taken literally.
And besides, the official Visual Dictionary for The Rise of Skywalker states that Poe's time with the Spice Runners of Kajimi happened when he was a teenager.
So there is zero contradiction here.
*BZZZT* Wrong!
Wow, Even more wrong than the previous statement while simultaneously attempting to back-peddle AND move the goalposts. Bravo!
The Visual Dictionary is explicit in when Poe ran with the Spice Runners of Kajimi, and it wasn't immediately before he joined the Resistance.
So he left the gang (Action) to join the Resistance (intent) just as Keri Russell’s character stated. He didn’t have to immediately walk into a recruiting station whose location is marked in the vaunted Visual Dictionary to make her statement AND the comments on this thread REGARDING HER STATEMENT correct. Jeez dude, it’s ok to say “I misspoke” every once in a while.
My guess is we left the gang. Joined up to new republic pilot training to get his rank and qualifications then "deserted" to the resistance.
Either that was his plan, just to use the new republic military ore he may even had planned to join the new republic military for real intialy but got bored doing nothing and joined the resistance for more action.
Which explains why he is a big of a maverick and rule breaker even for the resistance as his time in a proper military was likely short.

Mustafar has trees? That would explain why a lot of people didn't know that's where Kylo found the Wayfinder. We never saw Mustafar with trees nor any other surface vegetation in ROTS or Rogue One.
There is a recently released VR game (set some time between ROTS and Rogue One) that ends with the player character using an artifact on Mustafar that will eventually restore it to its lush, forested state. Maybe those trees were some early signs of Mustafar's eventual restoration.
Of course, we only saw a very small portion of the planet in Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One. One of the things I've never liked about Star Wars is that how all the planets only have one type of ecology. Showing that there was more to Mustafar than just lava was a good thing, in my humble opinion.
A volcano is a natural power source for advanced tech. Tapping the volcano also probably tempers the volcano, saving the ecosystem from boom boom.
Theres no recourse to build unsustainable infrastructure elsewhere on the planet.

This is all well and good except my larger point was that I suspected the intent that said scene was not just Mustafar but (as per the visual dictionary) literally right outside Vader's castle is something that was not apart of the original conception. If it was, they would have shown the bloody castle, no? Hell, they'd have shown the insides, with racks and racks of Vader's spare helmets, decrepit old Royal Guards still at their post, oblivious that the war is over and whatnot because why would JJ ever pass up an opportunity to wave the nostalgia flag? If they're visiting such an iconic location for the saga, they should at least make it explicit, no?
It's fairly evident that they shot a battle scene in the woods mostly just because it looked cool and was kind of a reference to the lightsaber fight in TFA, and at some point in post production someone on the story group may have piped up with "...err, wouldn't it make sense if the other one is in Palpatine's vault, that this one should be at Vader's place?" So they insert an establishing show of and FOSD over a familiar lava planet and gas giant, tint every thing a bit red, job done!
Same thing. Disney=Fox.
They were a big part of the older movies. It was even in the soundtrack.
It's not the same thing. Fox did not release the film and had no part in the creation of it.
Yes. It was on the older movies, the ones that Fox actually released.
that would insult both the people working at Fox back when the old movies came and the new people who spent countless hours working on it now. Ridiculous.
