Rain Johnson not only fricked Luke Skywalker for Hamill, he ruined Ackbar for Tim Rose. Very sad. frick Rian Johnson.

"So in The Last Jedi, I was quite looking forward to maybe them giving him something more juicy," he continued. "We were only given the script on the day when we were shooting that piece of script, so each day I would come to work going, ‘Is today the day when Ackbar gets something a bit more involving?’ And I looked at my script and I went, ‘Oh, Ackbar's going out of the window. Well, that's that then!’ I wasn’t quite dead yet."
Rose also revealed how he was unhappy with what happened afterwards, saying, "We finished all of our bits and they asked me to come down to camera. And I thought, ‘Oh well, maybe they’re going to say thank you for being one of the heritage characters and giving 30 years and all that.’ But what they did was, they gave me a Millennium Falcon sign that had the day and the date on it, the scene number, and they said, ‘Can you look at camera and say 'It's a wrap?' Because that would be really funny.’ … I was actually in tears in the suit because I thought - after everything, after hoping there’d be something, after knowing there wasn't going to be anything else, Ackbar's final moment before he went in to the box was a big joke about ‘It's a wrap.’ They just thought ‘Wouldn’t it be funny?’ And that was the sum total of my life as Ackbar."

During the interview the beta cuck cut off Ackbar on purpose because he didn't feel it serve the Last Jedi narrative. No one is allow to criticize!

Ackbar deserved better.

He said in the interview that he just disappeared in the back in tears for about 30 minutes after that “it’s a wrap” shot.
So sad.
So sad.

Yea, if anyone deserved a sendoff by being the one to suicide at the end, it should have been Ackbar, not ole purple hair.
No one cares about ole purple hair giraffe lady.

Just imagine how much more compelling the Last Jedi could have been if they had just let Ackbar do the Purple Haired lady's part.
What if... it was Poe defying Ackbar's orders? Thereby setting up tension not between male and female (overdone), but between young and old... new series vs. old series. Who should the audience support? New fan favorite Poe, or the Hero of the Battle of Endor?
What if Ackbar was the one who was "right" all along, according to Leia, and got that tearful goodbye from Leia? What if it was him who sacrificed himself jumping to light speed into the First Order's command ship?
But nope... let's give all that to some old gal we've never seen before. Great move, dick.

In fairness, that would be Lando.
He was the one that had to talk Ackbar down after he shite his pants and wanted to bogey out when the Death Star fired and it was Lando's idea to engage the Star Destroyers at point blank range.

Ackbar must be male

God I had had that purple haired lady out of my memories of Star Wars. WTF was her purpose again? Does anyone even remember her name? What a ridiculous and unnecessary interjection of a character that they portrayed as having some sort of reverence and importance without any buildup.

The writing all around was atrocious but it was a special level of hell bad with her character.
1) She was second or third in command of resistance forces but nobody really knew who she was.
2) She must have been sleeping or playing video games or whatnot during the first two skirmishes of the movie and only appeared after Ackbar was dead and Leia was maybe dead.
3) She refuses to discuss her plan with her assault commander (Poe) who may also now be acting second in command of resistance forces and makes him think she has just serenely accepted inevitable death and defeat in order to teach him a lesson about...not being in such a hurry to fight and kill the enemy? Patience about...something? I don't know.
4) Is shocked when the assault commander and acting second in command concludes that she is crazy and suicidal and attempts a mutiny.

Seems clear a StarWars nerd bullied Rian as a child. He waited years for his SWEET SWEET REVENGE. TLJ was his middle-finger to that child.

Killing Ackbar with a line of dialogue was just bizarre. It was like Rian was trying to anger the fans.

Watch him get shafted in the new movie too.

WTF this bitch literally had a minor bit part in just one movie and thinks that qualifies her as "being one of the heritage characters and giving 30 years and all that."

The sole purpose of the new trilogy is not to further the Star Wars story but to push a feminist SJW narrative. They’ve publically admitted as much. If you’re watching the new Star Wars because you love Star Wars then you’re watching the wrong movies. If you love feminism and other faggy shite then knock yourself out. You’ll love it.

That wouldn't work because Ackbar would have been smart enough to have a droid or autopilot do the Kamikase attack.
They had to kill him off so an inept character could dona dumb thing to be lauded as heroic.

Hollywood is trash and I haven't stepped foot in a theater in 6 years except for thus stupid arse movie as it was a birthday gift for my step dad. So we all went as a family.
Almost all the movies I have watched later have been older movies I never went to watch or saw on VHS when I was young.
If it is a newer movie it is an indie movie with little Major Studio input.
Last Jedi was so bad I fell asleep midway through and brother woke me up when it was over.
