I'd rather not see more films... At least not anytime soon. I'm perfectly fine with comics, novels, and the occasional TV show. I tend to enjoy those more anyway.
Although I do believe that Disney still has plans to produce another trilogy(set in an unknown time period) at some point in the next few years.

Oh, for sure. There's a Dan Weiss and David Benioff trilogy, a Rian Johnson Trilogy, and an Ahsoka film by Kevin Feige. Don't know which one's coming out first but the next film is in 2022.
200 years before the PT has always been the timeline.
Same.
I understand why they're delaying this(it's actually a good business move), but it is still disappointing that we have to wait until next year for the launch.

Ok while I get that it might be bad for the Outer Rim worlds....but shouldn't the Core worlds have personal defenses in place for this sort of thing? Like planetary shields? Otherwise the planets would be screwed each time if some giant extinction level meteorite came around.
This shit is so dumb. Not only are they doubling down on the idiocy that was the Holdo Maneuver but having something so simple cause galactic ramifications opens a whole new can of worms. Are we really supposed to believe this is the first time something like this has gone down? Accidents happen. Not to mention its easily achievable. Terrorist groups should be doing shit like this all the time...
Clearly, the people writing SW nowadays don't ever consider the ramifications their shit has on the rest of the universe. It doesn't take long to realize that this concept is inherently broken. And this is the main catalyst of the entire plot! Absolutely unreal.
Unless it's the size of the Death Star/SKB, HOW can the debris from a single cargo vessel possibly cause galaxy-wide devastation(to the point where the entire Republic is scared shitless)..? And if it can, then why in the f*ck don't more baddies use that tactic?
*Hopefully* there's more to it than it seems(obviously the Nihil are sure to be responsible), but my initial thought is that it isn't just an anticlimactic way to kickstart an event -- it's also outright stupid.

I mean....I would certainly hope that the capital of the Republic had planetary defenses. .....If not then the Republic is just extremely stupid. As far as the invasion of Courscant, did the CIS not take the Republic by surprise?

Now that I think about it, didn't TFA establish that objects moving at or above the speed of light can bypass planetary shielding? That's how Han got the Falcon through the shields of SKB, iirc. I imagine that other types of planetary defenses would be equally as useless against that kind of thing.
But still, the hyperspace debris from one cargo vessel being able to rock the entire galaxy like this doesn't sit well with me. Really hope there's more to it than that.

But if the debris is coming out of hyperspace, the debris isn't moving at lightspeed, it's just moving extremely fast at least coming out. Of course this could very well be the case if the debris is coming out of hyperspace through the planetary shield. But I guess we'll see what's what.
Yeah it still is kinda dumb though, a cargo vessel being the cause of some great galactic problems is kinda...dumb. I could see it being problems for perhaps a sector of space, but the whole galaxy?...Nah.
...Hooold up lol. Did a pilot just react to things coming at lightspeed while in hyperspace?
Also I can't get over this, a cargo freighter....a FREIGHTER being this huge disaster piece to the entire galaxy is just...Even if it's a bulk freighter.
The galaxy even if it's much smaller than before(I still can't get over that huge drop either), it's still a huge place. What are the odds that pieces would hit consistently important worlds at all?

It was a bulk freighter, but yeah, still dumb that it can cause this massive galactic calamity.
The canon galaxy is still at least 100,000 light years in diameter, ffs. The hyperspace debris from one cargo freighter being able to compromise even a micro-fraction of that is stupid... But again, I'm really hoping there's more to the story.
