Over the past arbitrary time period, Episode VIII started filming, Pablo started a Tumblr phenomenon by giving General Hux a pet, and The Force Awakens continued to rake in the bucks. But let’s get to it.
Why isn't Disney calling its Star Wars lands "Hanaheim" and "orLando"? It was right there.

The theory that people in Star Wars can't read is undermined by scenes of people reading in "Star Wars."

Any science conundrum in SW is always explained away with 'because it looks/sounds cool.' Cinema beats science every time. It's SW DNA.

Takes place in a pulp universe where space has an ether. Even Zahn & Stackpole gave X-wings 'etheric rudders' and they're very sci-oriented
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) February 20, 2016
Does that mean there are no rules? No,it has to read cinematically. That's why space combat is always WWII air and sea combat. That reads.

Writing SW, watch old movies; devour as many westerns, WW2 movies and Samurai films as you can. That's as technical as you wanna get.

What if the great tragedy of the ending is that Luke has taken a vow of non-violence and here is Rey, forcing him to pick up a sword again.

By far the hardest thing in writing Darth Vader is working out a way to keep supporting characters alive for more than one scene.
