wonder how all the other ships in this universe leave gravity?
God knows, was just a dumb mcguffin they slapped in so the rebel fleet would have a target to go at. Just one of those things that makes no sense and you are left wondering how it was never questioned.

Do you pick a part other kids films?
You can gibber on all you want about how this is a "kids" film but the fact remains most people seeing it won't be kids. And if you seriously call something as obviously stupid as that "picking" apart a movie i dunno what to tell you.
Man of Honour
I'm pretty sure they mention the reason why they need that beacon
Yeah, and it made no sense, nobody knows what direction up is?
Man of Honour
Get a grip, when was the last time you tore a kids film apart?
Don't go to watch Jumanji, you'll have a heart attack.
Get a grip? They're floating above the ground, what direction in your mind would space be from that point?
Man of Honour
It's a fantasy film, get a grip, it's not real
Yeah, and apparently in this fantasy movie neither is the concept of looking up. Utterly dumb plot device that a brain damaged chimp would raise an eyebrow at.

I've started from the first film A New Hope and I'm 1 hour into it, probably every 30 seconds I can pick it apart about the ridiculous stuff in it but hey, it's not real.
Indeed, but some things are just badly thought out. When has it ever been mentioned before that a ship needs a beacon to reach orbit? Considering the star wars movies from day 1 have shown ships zipping on and off planets on a whim. Just bad story writing.
Exactly.
Claiming we're not allowed to critique something if it was made for 'kids' (which is very much up for debate) is absurd.
Kids loved it when obi wan chopped an arm off in a bloody mess in the first movie.
Think George started claiming they were for kids when his dialogue got criticised and that was an easy way to shrug off the complaints.

Goooodddd goooooooddd, let the hate run strong in this thread....
Missed opportunity imo, it had some good ideas but it felt like it had been slapped together in a real hurry.

Saw tonight, was excellent. Those who moan are obviously just turbo nerds
Now, back to Mandalorian episode 7 I go!

Beacon mcguffin is a tiny, tiny issue in the grand scheme of mcguffinness of TROS. There are mind boggling things introduced in this movie:
- telekinesis through telepathy (ForcePortal™ premium upgrade to ForceFaceTime™ - objects can be physically passed between players during ForceFaceTime™ link, available to Rey and Kylo characters )
- Force Ghost telekinesis (physical objects caught, thrown and interacted with by Force Ghosts eg. Luke catching light sabre thrown by Rey, then handing it over to Rey)
- non Force users can now use Force Ghost package and have interactive conversations including touching (Han Solo vs Ben Solo)
- Force Healing™ with Force Resurrection™ package († note: rapidly drains mana from players without preinstalled Plot Shield package, only one resurrection per scene before Force Blanket Collapse™ applies).
- Force for Large Objects™ expansion set (player can wave with space ships in the air, only within selected map from Plot Convenience DLC, not available outside of Plot Convenience DLC, available to both Sith and Jedi factions )
- Force for Very Large Objects™ expansion set (player can control any number of space ships in the air, only within selected map from Plot Convenience DLC, not available outside of Plot Convenience DLC, available to Sith faction, level 10 mage or above)
You could technically win the entire war with just the first three, since weapons can be passed through ForceFaceTime™, ghosts can use weapons and physical objects and players in team can be healed and revived on the spot.
Items not available:
- Holdo Manoeuvre - temporarily withdrawn from all maps due to Plot Convenience DLC blue screening
- Force Ghost telekinesis (physical objects caught, thrown and interacted with by Force Ghosts eg. Luke catching light sabre thrown by Rey, then handing it over to Rey)
- non Force users can now use Force Ghost package and have interactive conversations including touching (Han Solo vs Ben Solo)
- Force Healing™ with Force Resurrection™ package († note: rapidly drains mana from players without preinstalled Plot Shield package, only one resurrection per scene before Force Blanket Collapse™ applies).

Sounds like it sucks then, what a surprise.
Scoring a pretty poor 6.8 on IMDb so far.
I'll pass on it until I can watch it for nothing.
