He wasn't going to make it to the cannon. She just pushed him out the way so he didnt get melted for no reason.

Her sister died for a reason and at great cost, and they're still in the same mess. She was just pointing out the difference.

Holdo's talk down of fly boys and rogues that happens in any war movie?

Holdo's attack on them is basically everything Star Wars is against

Star Wars is rebels doing crazy shite against the odds to beat the authoritarian foe

Holdo is the one demanding strict allegiance and adherence without explanation, which is authoritarian

Poe was doing what Luke and Han did in the OT, only now instead of saving the day, it fricks everything up, and the audience is told that we should blindly follow orders even if they make no sense and we are given no explanation...basically the opposite political message of Star Wars

Ok what did it point out?

Writers for Star Wars movies, books, and comics never really dealt too much with relativistic weapons before.

We knew suns planetoids nd debris could frick things like the Falcon.

The Imperials were not fond of putting even capital ships into asteroid fields and only a threat like Vader behind them made them dive in.

Maybe it is just a gentlemen's agreement of you don't use this one and done ram. Unless you're Vader then you go into asteroid fields and come out hyperspace ramming. Because you're a fricking boss.

They were fricked no matter.

He was right in eliminating the dreadnought, it just cost too much to resist after. But still it was his call for that mission and even though it was bad luck in the bomber going like a claymore. The buck stopped at him.

yes but you asked for politics and i'm giving it to you

the new production team wants to admonish masculine traits like aggression and reward/celebrate feminine traits like patience and emotions

I guess you're reading way different things between the lines.

Leia admonished Poe too (and first) but was quick to order a scramble of the fighters to cover the retreat. Ben just put it in a little deeper before they could.

Holdo's resources at that point we're 400ish standing. Unarmed and unshielded shuttles. And 3 ships running out of fuel.

What can you do with that?

"Peashooters, fire!"?

The First Order knew exactly what ships were present. There was no frigate that fought like a calamarian cruiser moment here. There was just run and hope the plan work. It didn't then Chewie and Rey and Luke came in and did their rebel stuff to save the day.

The scene clearly showed him AT the cannon. He would have made it.

The problem is what does she expect Finn to do AFTER she crashes into him in front of the entire First Order after watching them kill every other person but Poe?

Just...walk back to the base in front on them? THAT would have been retarded...










...oh wait

The gunners in the AT-AT's saw Finn's face after Shrek kissed him & figured it was crueler to not fire.

Moronically, considering that he saved the entire fleet.

They would have died quickly.

And why wasn’t a kidnapped Kylo tied up and bound WITH them?

She just kinda left the “supreme leader” lying there in front of her - like NO WAY could she drag him to her people safely though she never fails and has infinite Force ability because.

Yet a FREAKING BLACK Finn drags a YELLOW Rose over a WHITE field unprotected and no one can see and shoot them?

You're explanation doesn't fit their MAGA narrative. Don't bother with these lunatics. Visit the poli board and you'll see what I mean.

Offscreen, she either took an escape pod and called for chewie or jumped out and called for Chewie.

For rose and finn maybe a forward trench.

She's waiting for another Skype call & then she's going to grab his hand & physically pull him into a rebel prison cell.
