You know, the fictional city from Aladdin?

Almost one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday.

More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin.

In its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While 57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13% opposed it.

Public Policy Polling also polled Democratic primary voters: only 19% of them said they would support bombing Agrabah, while 36% said they would oppose it.

Republican primary voters polled by the PPP aren’t just worried about Agrabah. Of those polled, 36% believe that thousands of Arabs in New Jersey cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. About 54% of those polled support banning Muslims from entering the United States and 46% support the creation of a national database of Muslims in the United States.

New Jersey officials and residents have repeatedly denied the claims of the post-9/11 celebrations, which were resurfaced last month by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down,” Trump said at a November campaign rally in Alabama.

Trump continues to stand by his remarks. He had also called for a “total and complete shutdown” of the country’s borders to Muslims in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack.

According to the PPP, “[Donald] Trump is at 45% with Republicans who want to bomb Aladdin and only 22% with ones who don’t want to bomb Aladdin.”

Trump has been criticised by members of his own party for his anti-Muslim remarks.

“Banning all Muslims will make it harder for us to do exactly what we need to do, which is destroy Isis,” Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Tuesday during the fifth Republican debate. “We need to engage with the Arab world to make this happen.”

But Trump’s remarks and proposals, however, have seemed to connect with some GOP voters.

One in four of those polled by the PPP said that Islam should be illegal in the US and that they support the US policy of Japanese internment during the second world war.

And we wonder why Donald Trump is winning...

(Though in all fairness, the 19% of Democrats are just as bad)

Captain Phasma is hardly utilized - she ends up being thrown down a trash chute

We don't see her being thrown down or dying, chances are she will come back.

She was still generally pointless to the film, and could have just been kicked off until the next one when we have more time.

VII wasn't even A New Hope 2.0, it was OT 2.0; it had many elements from the whole trilogy. ANH was itself a pretty standard hero's journey story, so it's not hard to see repeated elements in the Star Wars universe.

Also, is there any idea if those five planets destroyed by Starkiller were important, or were they just a demonstration target?

Apparently the planets destroyed included the New Republic's Capital, seems they chose a new planet instead of Coruscant. So the Republic's Capital and it's Fleet is gone now

The capital is on a rotating basis, to try and make sure no planet feels pushed out like it did during the Republic days.

Assuming not all of the senators were there, they could just restart elsewhere - and likely cease assisting the Resistance, which we all know is gonna be a plot in the next film.

Emphasis on "religiously." Extreme adherence to things tends to not go well.

Even when you're adhering to the rules set forth by this community and its moderators?

There are (very rare) situations that call for looking at situations from beyond the scope of the rules - perhaps its a situation that isn't covered, or it's extreme circumstances.
