I’m not sure what you’re arguing against. None of my comments have said they shouldn’t have disabled the tracking device. And I don’t think Holdo has to lay out the detailed plans to Poe. But the nebulous way she goes about it was totally nonsensical. Just tell the people there is a plan is all. The way Holdo acted…

SOOOOOO much of TLJ feels like Rian looking at what JJ did and saying “hell no! We’re getting rid of that!” It feels very much like a DCEU in that respect- this movie is a course correction for what the filmmaker felt like were the mistakes of the prior movie. Hopefully the cohesiveness will come together a little bit…

100% with you. The only time I can remember anyone doing that was in Empire when Vader starts ripping shit off the walls to fling at Luke. I saw someone somewhere say that in the books they make it clear that force users are constantly doing all the “let me push your foot to get you off balance” stuff, but that other…

Agreed on Obi-Wan. The only things I can think of for why they didn’t go that route was that a) they already showed that Obi Wan comes back as Alec Guiness, which means they would have had to do a complete CGI creation to have him come back (although I would’ve been totally fine if they ignored that and just brought…

I think you’re trying to hard to justify the inconsistencies. His rage gives him power! Except when it doesn’t! He’s still young and untrained! Except when he gets the drop on both Luke and Snoke!

That’s the point- she doesn’t have to tell them about the plan. And the whole mole thing doesn’t play out- Finn and Rose find out about it because nobody mentions to keep it a secret. It’s not like it was inevitable that it gets back to Finn and Rose- it’s pretty easy to have avoided that if they wanted to.

Completely agree. Just because the At-At style attack on an ice planet happened at the end of this movie as opposed to the beginning doesn’t mean I didn’t feel like it was just ripping off Empire. And the scene of Snoke trying to get info from Rey and then Kylo killing him was very RotJ. It was definitely subtler than…

I honestly felt like the Canto Blight scene was included solely because they realized that the rest of the movie was going to take place on a tiny island and around a geriatric space chase. It felt completely out of place, but did give us a chance of scenery. Without it, the movie has 3 basic locations- the Force…

How could you forget about Poe’s “your mom” joke during the whole “I’ll hold” bullshit at the very beginning of the movie? Honestly, that was pure garbage.

“What if they get captured and leak sensitive information that causes the FO to notice the escape transports and pick those off instead of focusing on the cruiser?”

Leia fires the stun gun at Poe.

“The rebellion was a bunch of idiots. Now they have no fleet and are mostly dead. Thanks to Poe Dameron.”

I thought that the way Finn handled the casino was utterly bizarre. He’s introduced to us in the movie as someone who can’t help but worry about the safety of his friend- he immediately wakes up and starts asking about Rey. Then he’s sent on this critical mission to save hundreds of people’s lives and all he can do is…

“He didn’t dodge Kylo Rens attacks to look cool - but to keep the illusion intact as long as possible.”

I must’ve missed that line. I’m sure I’ll see it again, so I’ll be on the lookout for that.

I literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you mean to respond to someone else?

That’s not a prisoner’s dilemma. They’re literally caught red handed, and it’s not like the First Order has any semblance of due process- if he’s not already working for the First Order then they don’t need to bargain with him to execute Finn and Rose. They just kill all three of them. And Phasma says something about…

Sure would’ve been helpful for the Jedi to have been able to just project themselves across the galaxy during the other 7 movies in the main storyverse. I don’t know why Obi Wan spent so much time sending weak transmissions back to Yoda during the prequels given this brand new power that I suppose should’ve been…

“I hated that whole part of the movie and I think that is what ruined it for me.”

“if she actually explains the plan/is transparent, Poe probably doesn’t raise a mutiny.”
