>>212271333Not retarded, but a consequence of Lucas' own decisions. Something like the Vong was inevitable for the story to continue after the Imperial Remant was defeated. The entire galaxy is tiny and all of it is known. There is little to nothing left to explore. They pretend like there is an unknown region but it's not true and anything coming from there would be super contrived. Therefore: any new threat needs to come from another galaxy. For it to be an actual threat and taken seriously, it needs to be immune to the force or else they just get immediately defeated. They need to be monstrous, since otherwise people will just say they're no big deal, you can negotiate with them, it's not so bad if they win, etc. They're a logical result of everything Lucas had in place already. There's no hidden big bad Sith nor powerful organizations hiding and waiting to take on the New Republic. So stop being a bitch about it.
