The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
I figured there could be a difference between the reactor which powers the hyperdrive, life support, lights, etc and the power source for the unprecedented planet-killing superlaser.

One thing that really surprised me - we have a monster, and a monster-killing spear. Who should use it? The Bronze Age War Goddess holding a sword right now, or the dude who gets weak as a kitten by being within ten feet of the thing?
I mean, as soon as Batman revealed that he'd forged a...
Yeah, I thought Irons-as-Alfred was my high point of the film and could have used more :) But it seemed weird that even with the escalation, he was being treated like a new phenomenon, and didn't have a 'name', just the sort of description we usually expect during an origin story before the...
One thing I didn't get - if Bruce Wayne has been Caped Crusading for twenty years, fighting the Joker, responding to Bat-Signals... why is he 'the Bat Vigilante in Gotham' who's newsworthy all of a sudden?
And is it canonical that Gotham and Metropolis are, like, a short cab ride apart?

As has been pointed out, Ren was a lot weaker than usual at that point. The film took several opportunities to say "Look how super-awesome Chewie's bowcaster is!", and then shot Ren with it just before he fights Finn and Rey...

That's one ugly, bulbous, Unkar-Plutt-looking human!
Regarding Tekka and the map - doesn't the opening crawl imply he has only recently discovered it?
-Hyp.
The way Hux says 'Ren', though - the tone he uses - makes it sound like a veiled substitution for 'Monkey-Boy, here'.
'... But Ren didn't feel the droid was necessary any longer.'
It definitely doesn't feel like it's in any way a term of respect when he says it.
-Hyp.
Likewise... I noticed Finn to another trooper ('Ren wants the prisoner'), and Hux a couple of times, when he was being dismissive and contemptuous.
Hux obviously has a military/technological vs Force/mysticism rivalry going on with Ren. Makes me wonder if the average stormtrooper takes his (or...
Hmm... apparently according to Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, Hosnian Prime was serving as the Republic's Capital and headquarters of the Galactic Senate at the time of its destruction.
Chandrila was chosen as the capital immediately after Endor, but the label moved from...
Huh. That does actually make sense, at least for the Luke/R2/von Sydow/BB8 side of things.
Implication was that the First Order also had access to the larger (R2) piece of the map from Imperial records, which doesn't quite fit the theory, but it's close enough that I'm happy to adopt it as my...
