only saw it once, not likely to again, and I mustve missed some stuff....
1. Why not just tell Poe about Laura Derns real plan instead of practically killing him when he demands to know whats going on? Whats with the big secret? Seems like a really good idea to let people know theyre going to be alright.
2. Poe/Rose/Finn obviously dont know about the Dern real plan to use the transports to escape to the (conveniently located) planet. This is the whole reason they go off to the casino planet and hook up with Benicio. Given this, how can Benicio possibly know about the escape plan (and sell it to the First Order?)
3. If the Maid of Tarth's armor can deflect blaster bolts, why arent all the storm troopers wearing it?

Because women are better than men.
That’s not a joke. That’s the answer

Why doesn’t leia instantly freeze to death
When they open the door for her why are they not all sucked into the vacuum of space
After dern crashes the ship why is phasma on the other end of the ship from Finn who she was just standing over looking clean and marching in formation towards Finn
When Luke dies why doesn’t his metal hand crash onto ground?
I could go on all day

Pretty sure he overhears Poe and Finn talking about it when they're on the stolen ship

This is the only one I can answer with any certainty.
Her armor was made from the metal from Palpatine's ship. That would be in extremely short supply, so not enough to go around for the rest of the stormtroopers.

If her armor is laser proof then why did she acquiesce to Finn in TFA when he put a gun to her head?

FWIW - I liked the movie overall.
1. I don't know. This is my biggest problem with the movie. It makes no sense to me for her not to share the plan. I initially I thought, "Well, she doesn't know who to trust and doesn't know how the First Order is tracking them. So she wants to keep the plan quiet." But, she has no reason to mistrust Poe. He practically took down Starkiller base by himself. He's obviously not a traitor. I just don't buy it.
2. He overheard it on the radio when they were attempting to break open the door. They cut to him briefly obviously listening in to what Poe is telling Finn.
3. Maybe it's made of a really rare metal? I don't know. If light sabers are so powerful, why doesn't everyone have one? That didn't bother me.

Because she was outnumbered 3 to 1, with Han solo and Chewbacca being the other 2.

known by Finn or Rose? At what point? Why would they continue thier extremely risky mission to disable the tracker?

Skywalker s don’t instantly freeze to death in space?
Leia and Han are out in about in space in empire...the difference is one movie bends the rules of reality too far on top of being a shitty movie

1. Poe’s actions cost thousands of lives. Holdo didn’t trust him because of the blood on his hands.
2. Poe obviously leaked it to Benicio. Continuing the streak of blood on his hands and further validating Holdo’s distrust in him
3. Because all the other storm troopers are white males and expendable

quote:The Art of The Last Jedi book goes explains that Leia was initially trained by Luke right after ROTJ, but motherhood and New Republic duties pulled her away from it. She always had skills in the force, she just never bothered with them because she remained a political figure. When she was sucked into space she used the force to protect herself from exposure and then pulled herself back to the ship.
Skywalker s don’t instantly freeze to death in space?
That takes some serious power. So good thing she's a Skywalker and has just as much power in the force as Luke. She's so strong in the force she was--according to Yoda--a suitable replacement if Luke were to die or turn in Empire Strikes Back.

POE was the leak. Again.
Dude’s the villain.

So is it a good thing when your movie doesn’t make sense without the required reading explaining things
Which btw, that whole explanation is retarded nerd fiction
The force protects her? Gaaaay
