Their purpose was to be pointless. It’s all they had and the only option available to stop the cannon (presumably by shooting it once they got close enough), but it wasn’t enough. The point is for Poe to realize this and make the right decision this time, and fall back to save lives instead of leading the pilots to…
that was my favorite part of TFA, and I’m glad they kept it going: Kylo Ren very clearly has never been taught how to fight with his lightsaber. he’s an untrained reservoir of raw power who has never been meaningfully challenged, and as a result his technique is made entirely out of bad habits.
whereas Rey’s fight…
In that moment, all things were possible. You figured that the light saber would fly to Rey, she would fight it out with Ren, then escape and the plot goes on. Just like Return of the Jedi, but earlier.
no sarcasm: this is my favorite post/take on the movie that i’ve read. thank you for writing it. TLJ is the perfect movie for the end of 2017. Hope is restored.
It is almost undoubtedly a pseudoscience.
Andromeda is my favourite Mass Effect game.
This is the hill I will die on. Battlefront 2 is actually a fun game, and will continue to be a blast so long as i can still outplay and 2-shot the guys who have all the star cards. I cant grind like they do, but all their boosts in the world wont help them if they miss
Trump just misheard “homeo” and put the pressure on the FDA.
This can’t be real, actual productive government right now? There has to be some nefarious half baked pyramid scheme behind it.
Eh I disagree with it being an “idiot plot point.” Keep in mind that Holdo had no idea that Poe and Finn were planning some insane plot behind her back. As far as she was concerned, her plan was working fine without any hitches, so there was no reason to tell a dumbass, hothead pilot who had just been demoted. Her not…
Snoke saw exactly what he was saying.
But you can’t make a star wars movie and just toss in some mysterious and all powerful evil force man and never even ONCE allude to where this guy came from.
Or because the Rebellion knew that the war wouldn’t be over with the destruction of the Death Star, and the really needed every single ship they had to finish the war afterwards. One common complaint I’ve seen is that people really think that because a ship can hyperdrive nuke another ship, that somehow that means…
YET.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at the end of all of this, there is no “either Kylo or Rey wins” moment. They just kind of.. go their separate ways, and the Republic/First order... the big empires - good and evil, both gone. The Jedi, the Sith, gone.
Rey goes to one corner to train new students her way, Kylo to another.
I realize this wasn’t a public vote, but is this really how democracy works now? 98.5% of people oppose the motion and it passes anyway because fuck everyone?
Considering how Trump thinks he’s King of America™, yeah that is okay to say at this point. Shit ain’t what it was anymore, clearly.
Yeah Lindsey, that’s how it always works, no one in the past has ever gone to the Olympics saying they represent the US president.
Fuck Roy Moore.
Jesus, Donald. Don’t be a bitch just because you were told your boyfriend couldn’t come.
