Script Meeting:
"Hang on, so Finn and the pilot escape in the Tie fighter, then get shot down by the baddies' cannon?" "YEP" "And they crash on Jakku?" "Yep" "And that all happens pretty fast right, within a few minutes?" "ER... YEP" "So how come Finn is allowed to wander slowly back to the nearest town (handily close to where he crashed, but we'll gloss over that)? Surely the baddies scrambled Tie fighters to follow them?" "ER..YES. I MEAN NO. WELL.... THEY'RE NOT REALLY THE MAIN PRIORITY ANYMORE. THE FIRST ORDER ARE AFTER THE DROID" "Really? they don't want to recapture a traitor and a top rebel who have just shot up the hanger and killed a load of stormtroopers?" "ER... WELL... THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW THEM" "Huh? They can build a huge machine in less than 30 years that sucks a sun to death. A machine that sucks a sun to death! A machine that's totally overpowered given the previous deathstar could already destroy a planet. But it can suck a sun to death! And the baddies can't follow one ship that's a few minutes away down to a planet?" "WELL...UM...NO... ANYWAY THEY ARE AFTER THE DROID." "Hmmm. Okay. Right. Okay. So Finn gets to the town on Jakku, meets the lassie and the droid" "YEP" "Then they get spotted by 2 stormtroopers that turn up?" "YEP" "But surely the baddies would send more stormtroopers to find the droid? Surely they would send everyone since they know roughly on Jakku where it is? Surely they'd be turning the place upside down long before Fin gets back?" "WELL. LOOK. ITS. LOOK. WE'RE STARTING TO FEEL YOU'RE NOT ON BOARD WITH THIS" "I'm just concerned the plot doesn't make a lick of sense" "WE WANT TEAM PLAYERS HERE" "I'm trying, but I think we are making some basic errors" "WE FEEL YOU'RE BRINGING NEGATIVITY. THE DIRECTOR ONLY WANTS POSITIVE PEOPLE WITH POSITIVE IDEAS." "Alright, Sorry. How about this then. We alter the script so the new Death Planet has better defences than at present. And better security so Han and friends can't just wander round it willy-nilly. And so he cant turn the main shields off really easily." "YOU'RE FIRED" "What?" "YOU'RE FIRED" "But these are serious plot problems!" "YOUR FIRED. SECURITY" "But..." "SECURITY! "Ray's accent is really irritating" "SECURITY!!!" Sound of a scuffle... "Get off me...This film is gonna suck" (voice fading away)
