10 Reasons To Stop Hating Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
8. The Star Wars Sequels Introduced Some Undoubtedly Cool Powers, Weapons And Ships
It simply would not be Star Wars without some fascinating Force abilities, badass weapons, or staggering ships occupying the galaxy.
And on that front, the Sequel Trilogy certainly did not disappoint.
The menacing Kylo Ren set the tone early in The Force Awakens by stopping a damn blaster bullet in mid-air before holding it there for an impressive amount of time.
Leia soaring through space after being fired out of a cruiser, Luke projecting himself halfway across the bloody galaxy, and even watching Palpatine Force drain the dyad all sit as unquestionably cool uses of Force power when revisiting the trilogy.
And Episodes VII-IX seriously brought it in both the weapon and spaceship categories, too.
Ren's command shuttle was a beautifully designed menace of the skies, the rusty ski speeder helped create the gorgeous visual of Crait's red surface bursting up from the ground as the Resistance sped towards the First Order, and the Supremacy was a thing of terrifying beauty, too.
That epic cross-guard lightsaber used by a fallen Ben Solo became instantly iconic, and the advanced melee weapons seen being used by the Elite Praetorian Guard were also at the centre of arguably the trilogy's finest combat sequence.
Simply put, there's a lot to love about the Sequels' arsenal.
