Thoughts on Starkiller Base:
Was it only meant to fire twice? If it needs a sun, how do they move it? Shouldn't the lasers have taken days to reach the planets from the far reaches where the base was built?
I don't know. All I know is that it must have some kind of thermal oscillator or something.

Supposedly, the beam entered a form of hyperspace, to be able to fire across the galaxy. I suspect it had some form of hyperdrive to be able to move, but we never heard any reference to that, that I'm aware of.

Could you imagine the suck that would be the case if you had to wait for the moment in it's orbit around it's sun and it's own rotation on it's axis lined up for a shot... let alone that 1:100,000,000,000,000 chance that the target just happens to be in it's precise spot in it's orbit to be hit... "Sir, the target will be in sight in approximately 1 standard year, 3 months, 21 days, 7 hours and 14 minutes..." |

Hah, no kidding!
BTW, just finished the junior novelization of TFA, and while certainly it's not anywhere near as detailed as a book for adults, I can confirm that the overall writing technique is indeed far better than Alan Dean Foster's misfire. Hats off to Michael Kogge!
One powerful section, for me...where the adult novel had a reveal about Kylo Ren's underlying feelings on the bridge, the junior novel had a revelation about Han's feelings that was equally powerful and painful--namely that not only did he somehow forgive his son in his last seconds...but hoped that someday Kylo would forgive him. Oh my gosh. That line killed me. I've felt that I knew pretty well what went wrong, what Snoke played into that genuinely wasn't a good thing, that happened between father and son, and the confirmation that there was indeed something (even if not specifying exactly what) was powerful to me.

Starkiller Base is suppose to have a hyperdrive. As for firing, I would suspect they would use the star of the system they desroyed previously, as it would be a free star that is no longer being used while keeping the base at a "safe" distance from their intended target(s).

A thought on Starkiller: we forget that it's not at all uncommon for a star system to have more than one star.
Use one to fire, one to gather energy to jump away...problem solved.

Where do you get the hyperdrive info?
How do they move an entire planet at the speed of light

The line before the fight got me even if we do have that pilot, at least. XD --- I just finished Dark Disciple and it was far more painful than the TFA novel in a good way, IMO. Ventress had already been growing on me and...wow. |

Kanja Klub was all asian. And I always considered the Neimodians and Sullustians to be asian.

I think it's more about the fact that Kanjiklub were also short-lived and not part of the "main" Star Wars groups (Jedi, Sith, Rebels, First Order, etc.)--the big heroes or villains. And they are, in a sense, but people tend not to count the more alien, especially given those particular roles. |

Interestingly, what we hear as the Sullustan language was actually a real language from Kenya rather than Asia. http://www.completewermosguide.com/otherlanguages.htmlSorry...I like language geekery too much. |
