If you did fart that wasn’t the reason I went AWOL Captain, it’s that I started back at University this week and was behaving almost as if I’m a responsible grown up student.
When I watched the film the first time I thought Starkiller must have been wastifying planets in the same system as Maz’s too, because that’s the only thing that makes sense visually. But storywise it seems like her planet Tokodana has to be an outlying backwater type of world, off the beaten path from authority, like Tatooine. Like it’s TFA’s verison of the hive of scum and villainy.
Turns out the “canon” explanation from our pal Pablo Hidalgo is Tokodana and the Hosnian system are in different parts of the galaxy but the beam was visible due to “Some weird-ass hyperspace-rip seen-across-the-cosmos kinda shit.”

So it kind of comes back to what we were saying earlier about JJ not always having the best grasp of the cinematic language so the ideas he gets across aren’t always narratively coherent.
