Blind...

Being blind has nothing to do with being unable to sense the force in ones surrounding though. Same goes for those helmets, they weren't designed to block the Force from the ones using them, but instead to learn to rely fully on the Force rather than by sight.
Qimir's helmet, according to him, blocks it both from incoming and outgoing.
And since it's made of cortosis, the Force wouldn't be able to reach through either side of the helmet, which contradicts the mirror theory as well.
Also, the helmet had eye holes in it. Lol
It doesn't make sense.

You forget that the helmet is supposed to block force users reading his mind... so blocks the force, yet he uses the force. Contradicts itself.

The ones in the previous examples only had physical vision blocked, not the force

Exactly.

Cortosis... :rotfl

You say, as if the force isn’t magical bs to begin with.

It has rules that it follows (well, it did until Disney started turning it into bs)

I haven't seen Furiosa yet but yeah I've heard that's good. And Prey was pretty decent...........technically Rogue One was a prequel...Solo aswell and I like those well enough but still, what have prequels ever done for us??!!

.......actually I somewhat like Star Trek Strange New Worlds. But for numerous reasons I simply can't accept that it will transition into TOS so I prefer to think of it as a full remake with no canonical connection.

You really should go see Furiosa in a theater if it's still running. It's a first class cinematic experience. I haven't watched any Star Trek outside of the Abrams trilogy (except for the odd episode on tv from the original series), but I did find the 2009 "origin story" surprisingly entertaining. Now, I would argue that Rogue One is indeed an example of not only an unnecessary but also fairly damaging prequel. By deliberately inserting a weakness in the Death Star construction they're practically erasing the importance/impact of Lukes force manuever in A New Hope...

Alas I won't be able to.

The 2009 film was admittedly enjoyable on first viewing but quickly lost all appeal to me. Plotholes out the wazoo, shallow pew pew and ultimately with no resemblance to the Trek of old in any way, shape or form - which is not a good thing for a prequel. The following two movies were DOA, I thought they were both terrible even in their own right.

Not if you accept that ultimately no one but Luke was going to be able to make that shot. Red Leader tried and failed. It was all going to be for nothing if the Rebels didn't have Luke. Galen Urso didn't know that and neither did Jyn, Cassian & company and thus, as far as they were concerned it was all still to be fought for.

The film wasn't strictly necessary, no, but I do think Rogue One elevated the sense of danger and stakes about the Empire and the Death Star. Especially by actually putting us on planets that get hit by the superlaser and killing all of its main characters.

In my mind Galen planted the weakness in the reactor core with the expectation that someone (probably himself) would have to set it off in person inside the Death Star (a suicide mission obviously) and that he never in a million years pictured someone hitting it from *outside* the DS, which is where the ingenuity of the Rebel analysts and Luke's heroism come in.

Have you just created a new fictional archetype?

Then the whole engineering plot of Rogue One makes even less sense, doesn't it? What's the point of constructing a "weakness" connected to an exhaust port so small that it's not even theoretically possible to hit (Judging by all the technical statistics available at the time)? The X-wing pilots at the Death Star attack briefing made it clear they would not be successful through the use of any conventional methods (apparently well aware of the limitations of their state of the art targeting computers). Only Luke knew this was even possible since he'd already hit targets that size before, without realizing ofcourse that his superior aim was a direct result of his connection to the force...

Then you basically haven't seen Star Trek.
Only seeing the JJ stuff is like only watching the ST and never watching the OT.
TNG, DS9 and Voyager. It takes the first couple of seasons to get going for all of those, but once they reach their stride they are vastly better than the stuff that hack JJ produced.
Enterprise isn't quite as good as the series that came before but it's still pretty decent once it gets going.

Just finished watching Rogue One

Thank the maker for that film and Andor. Otherwise Disney SW offers almost nothing in terms of quality entertainment.

Tony Gilroy should be the head of Lucasfilm.

I refuse to accept that blame, that burden, that infernal curse.

Ask your doctor if Cortosis is right for you.
