But outside of the issue of the specific character arcs, which were betrayed in cruel and sometimes even racist ways, we're never going to get a Clone Wars set during the First Order era because no one ever bothered to try to make that era make sense

People like Chuck Wendig and Claudia Grey tried to do this, and they might even have succeeded, if Abrams hadn't jettisoned the attempts at worldbuilding they made to chase nostalgia

Abrams set up a TON of mystery boxes in The Force Awakens, and it's legitimately my favorite movie in the series because of the joy I had at getting what I felt was "real Star Wars" back. But it introduced so many Mystery Boxes, not just Rey.

Other people should have been allowed to open and fill in the answers of the contents of those boxes. One person got the chance, and Abrams walked him back in ways that affect not just the plot of the trilogy, but of the whole universe

In other words: many people grew to love the Galactic Republic era bc of the Clone Wars show, but because of how badly Abrams answered his own questions, such a thing is nigh impossible for the First Order era

How long have critics and fans of SciFi/Fantasy/Supers/HP argued against answering _every_ question? These worlds thrive in our imaginations _because_ there are gaps for us to imagine into.

Well, there are good unanswered questions and bad ones. It's my judgment that the ones in the sequel trilogy are either bad questions, or answered badly (Rey is clearly the latter)

I'm not saying that I really want to know Maz Kanata's whole backstory, but I also think you'll be hard pressed to find any fans who still consider a fascinating mystery

"Where she got lukes lightsaber" is whats known as a bad question. Theres no fucking reason anyone should have that thing after it fell off cloud city

It wouldn't be at all out of star wars's tech range to have a big magnetic net at the bottom of cloud city just to catch stuff people drop, though. That seems like it'd be easy to headcanon in to have that thing survive and ends up in the hands of Maz.

Kinda seems like you'd have to have something to counter the general lack of safety railings

Exactly. A huge safety net would probably be under every major station :D

I don't have as much of a fear of heights as I used to but oh man why do flying sky cities in movies always make it so easy to fall off
