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
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
No republic, no allies, no fleet, no leadership
I imagine it will be something about her parents
I don't even want to see it. My friends will drag me to it and I'll have to smile and try not to ruin their fun.
I heard they're trying to get a role for Lando somehow.
but hes an iky man ... far too much toxic masculinity already
Lando has privilege points now.
I really dont want to accept that explanation for the writing, yet I cant think of any evidence that contradicts it
Perhaps solo will have some male positive actions in it
