thats it

unless... her sister was a spy too! 😛

cos their parents were on the death star

Literally the only plot hole that this fills in is the part where she crashes finn out of the way of the massive cannon

maybe kylo ren is her brother

That's not a plot hole. That was a conscious decision on the part of the writers.

Every male lead is stupid. Everything they do is pointless or downright wrong, and the female leads are meant to show them the error of their ways.

Finn, by trying to do something heroic and self-sacrificing, was wrong. The writers wanted that to be the lesson.

Yea im gonna consider that a plot hole

I refuse to believe that any studio could conciously decide that was a good idea for a movie

not sure if thats true... the feminist haired woman seemed fairly stubborn etc... but came through in the end

By a) not telling her subordinates what she was trying to do and b) breaking the SW universe.

Why didn't the rebels just evacuate a medical frigate and get a droid to crash it into the death star?

She assumed command and saw the discontent brewing amongst her crew

Instead of taking action to forestall it she chose to sit by and do nothing

Then at the end she made the wonderful decision to sacrifice herself, leaving the alliance without a fleet and without any leaders

But the important thing is that Poe was wrong about everything.

All that heroic stuff that we expect from dashing pilot male leads? Completely wrong.

"you cant solve your problems by jumping in an X wing and blowing everything up"

Worked pretty frigging good for the first trilogy.

Worked good for the first movie and the first part of the last jedi too

But that's toxic masculinity. This time we're going to try losing all our ships and getting 90% of the rebels killed.

Finn? Wrong about everything. Poe? Wrong about everything. Luke? Wrong about everything.

Han? Wrong. Dead. Chewie? Vegetarian now.

thats meritocracy talk - in the new world order - everyone is equal - lowest common denominator

no heroes, no villains

Yeah they couldn't even make a good villain.

how coo would it have been to see an old and crazy powerful luke

rey makes it back to the island and luke is doing crazy force shit

General Hux was a caricature. Snoke was just pointless. Kylo isn't even a villain. He's a love interest.

im never going to see another star wars for one reason

TLJ killed the storyline

Star Wars to me is the original trilogy and nothing more. Everything beyond the unedited first three movies was a mistake.

That wouldve been awesome, to have something to show luke's years of experience

I kept hoping for that right up to the moment he died

Thought he was going to block all the lasers or pull rocks to build a wall as he was being shot at

maybe they could have a dearth vader droid - that can somehow take jedi's abilities to use the force for itself

Anyway, they don't need Luke. They have Leia. She can apparently fly and come back from the dead.

And Rey is so strong she doesn't even need lessons.

Im not really sure where the storyline will go from here

It doesnt even seem like the rebels have a chance anymore
