Why is Disney Star Wars Galaxy so empty and barren? Everything is dirty and rundown, there's anarchy and lawlessness everywhere. All the worlds are desert or have harsh climates that are barely inhabited. Giant monsters that instantly kill you are everywhere. There's no real sign of "civilization".
It feels like some sort of gigantic calamity or pandemic has swept through the galaxy and society broke down and we're in some sort of post-apocalyptic landscape. wtf is Disney/Kathleen Kennedy/whoever doing?
Well this is a problem with the sequel movies as well (perhaps even moreso, you never see a settlement with over like 200 people in the sequel movies) and they had huge budgets.
Levi James
Because it's realistic and caters to american manifest destiny and cowboy shieet
Nicholas Jones
They take place on the outer rim planets dude, what would you like them to do? Have a high political drama set on naboo because it looks nicer? I dont even watch this shit and I'm capable of understanding what the fuck is going on.
Gavin Powell
because the galaxy is huge and people can only reproduce so quickly to spread out and colonize it all.
but also budget
Xavier Moore
why doesn't the floating ball have a shadow? it's at his knee's height so the shadow should be more visible
Angel Sanders
why can't we ever see a place that's not in the outer rim then? You're telling me in a galaxy with billions of world all of them are barren and depopulated and rundown? Is this Warhammer 40k or something?
Henry Barnes
no one wants to see star wars set in a city
Lucas Campbell
when the main character is deliberately trying to stay off the map then it makes sense
Brody Howard
there are millions upon millions of races spread out across the galaxy so this argument makes no sense. It's not like there's just 1 race from 1 world spreading out
Julian Scott
you're right
Ian Sanchez
its pretty clear cut canon that really only humans and outlaws are trying to spread to otherwise inhospitable planets.
Lincoln Hughes
idk empire strikes back seemed to do well and it had cloud city. And the prequels made a lot of money and had a lasting effect far more relevant/influential than disney stuff
when did this rule that "star wars must be set in depopuled hellscapes" get established?
Austin Wilson
probably because most of the prequels still take place on inhospitable hellscapes.
Asher Davis
the most frequented planet in the prequels was courscant which is anything but and disney still refuses to show it.
Kayden Robinson
And why wouldn't it be when it takes so little for soys to go crazy?
