Siblings dont have to support the same cause
dude stop
Just. Bad. Writing.
I cant remember, was that a story she was telling?
No, they spent several minutes focusing on the sister.
She mentioned if off hand at one point
cause what if it actually turned out.. that ter sister was on the death star or something
"killed by terrorists"
no they very clearly showed her dying
she was on the last bomber
but was that a scene... or was she telling the story and then it went into the scene?
no that was a scene
at this point you hadnt even met miss plumber comissar
ah yeah I remember... and then something about a necklace
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
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
