#fuck if that doesnt line up with palps hatred and distain for the jedi

This genuinely is one of the main reasons I don't like the sequels. Because this shit was heartwrenching and awful to every degree but it was added in as an afterthought. We didn't know what planet starkiller was made out of. It wasn't important. Damn thing was an awful superweapon that killed billions if not trillions, who cares what planet it was?

And then like a careless afterthought they drop the fact that it was Ilum. Up until Fallen Order, that's all it was. Some carelessly dropped sidenote.

And damn if that doesnt cover the sequels perfectly. Carelessness. They made those movies with out a single regard of what they were doing to the rest of the franchise. And now the rest of the franchise just has to fucking deal with it.

And before anyone gets defensive about the characters or something, I dont actually mind the sequels so much as the idea of them being stand alone movies. They had some problems but they had some good shit (visual team was on fucking point). They weren't the greatest but the werent the worst by any regards. Hell I enjoyed watching them at the time. I'm disappointed with the sequels because they are Star Wars movies and exist within the Star Wars universe. We could have had so much better.

i just think that it's really horribly painful that ilum, a place that is so sacred to the jedi and so important to their culture, eventually is converted to a superweapon that probably killed millions upon millions of people in the form of starkiller base and it just so horribly goes against everything that the jedi stood for that i just.

honestly this is probably one of the most painful things about star wars to me.
