this. After seeing the hyperdrive wreck everything in it’s path it makes you wonder.... why isn’t everyone running hyperdrive torpedos. Only need one and just kinda sort close. Done.

Still, this doesn’t make sense.

Yeah we were all thinking the same thing. Why didn’t they use the other ships in the escape convoy for the same thing? Don’t wait til they run out of fuel, transfer everyone off, remote send it on an hyperspace crash.

Just kind of makes you wonder if a hyper space kamikaze run is that devistating, why didn’t they just blow up the death stars that way, woulda been much faster and more effective. Hell they could have remote piloted it or had a droid do it.

While I don’t disagree with your overall point of him not being perfect all the time, I gotta be pedantic here. It’s my nature.

I’d say it’s different for this main reason:

I agree my biggest problem with the movie was the treatment of the characters who ended up doing uncharacteristic things.

There also may be additional context... but I’m sure eventually there will be a series of books, comics and/or cartoons filling us in.

Except, IIRC, both explanations from Kylo and Luke were fairly similar. Kylo fully believes that Luke was trying to kill him, and Luke might’ve been about to put his saber away, but both had Luke going to seek out Ben’s hut at night and igniting his saber. That’s something I don’t think he would’ve done to begin…

Oh, sure. He was conflicted at times, but he always bent towards towards the light in the end. Which is why in my book, him snapping to murder a family member doesn’t fit.

Yet they were all better than what actually happened.

X-wings are hyper-space capable. Why didn’t they end EpIV by just remotely sending a few X-wings to hyper jump through the Death Star?

I was largely okay with just about all of those bullet points, except this one:

Also when hyperdrive kamikaze rendered basically every other form of space warfare obsolete

why wouldn’t they borrow from that instead of introducing something new?

They also set that up saying he used to target womp rats about the same size and was already a pilot. so...

I was truly disappointed by this movie. I keep reading people say shit like “the people who hate this are the same who said TFA was too much like A New Hope and that just isn’t true at all. Just because something is unpredictable doesn’t mea it’s good. Twists for the sake of twists and subverting what we know and love…

“everyone who disagrees with me is a troll”

The Canto Bight scenes would have worked so much better if the casino had been full of established alien species.

The hottest and most generic of takes.
