You just have to realize that Star Wars is dumb now

I know. Unpopular opinion here. But Star Wars has always been kinda dumb. It’s very pulpy. A lot of occurances throughout feel arbitrary to serve the wider narrative. I could make arguments about perceptions for and against, but I think it is important that the Sequel Trilogy, thusfar, hasn’t ventured that far from the OT or PT in terms of overall pulp/dumb/etc. levels.

- Sir, an escape pod just launched. Laser annoys are locked on. Should I destroy it?

- Nnnoooooo don’t bother.

- ... but... I’m locked on. It’ll take like 2 seconds.

- We scanned it for lifesigns for some reason, and found none. So it’s not worth even the most minimal effort or attention.

- But, I mean, it takes nothing. Like it would have been destroyed 15 seconds ago if you’d just said “fire”. It will use 0.00000009% of our energy reserves.

- I don’t want to file the paperwork.

- ... seriously?

- Yeah.

;p
