He should just wear a mocap suit 24/7 and spend his life walking funny and contorting himself, just to build a licenseable archive. When they get around to making that movie about a CGI creature that sleeps all the time, he'll be printing money.

Per that great Red Letter Media prediction episode, what exactly does the Empire do with its power besides build Death Stars? They're kind of a one-trick pony, aren't they? Conquering worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to conquer worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to ... It's like a Spacemen 3 album title.

lol thats another thing the prequels could have looked into. maybe it ultimately is about taxation and trade deals.

They give a sensible rationale in ANH in the officers meeting, which actually is a neat scene that I don't think we get another one of quality(not counting the prequels' shitty attempts).

"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."
This scene is also where he mentions how the Imperial Senate has been dissolved by the Emperor, and now regional governors have direct control over their respective territories.
So, yeah, mobile doomsday weapon to backstop an authoritarian power-grab.
And *of course* Wookieepedia has a write-up for it:

Watching Jedi with the girls. They find the Ewoks adorable and keep asking why Luke keeps kissing his sister, because it's gross.

Also, they have no idea they're called Ewoks, so they call them Super Bears.

Abrams, Fisher, Ridley, Boyega, and Driver were on Kimmel last night. As expected, nothing was revealed; Driver even asked Abrams on set if he was allowed to say whether he appears in the film without a mask or not. Kimmel asked Abrams what the first word in the film is, and before responding Abrams paused and asked "Spoken?" which I guess is a tacit nod that they're sticking with the formalism of the opening crawl. Apparently the first spoken word in the movie is "This."

There's a rear shot of Driver in one of the trailers with hood off, hair a-blowing. I can't see any way the studios controlling a 2015-ish franchise blockbuster would dare not succumb to the need to show the badguy's face during the climactic sword fight.
