The idea that they’ll be followed through hyperspace but will be able to conveniently abandon ship and no one will notice is a fricking dumb plot point.

Yeah, even if the sensors don’t work, they still have eyes right? They can still see them escape. Out of the thousands of people looking out at them that not one of them is going to notice assloads of escape pods leaving the ship?

This plot was written by hacks at the Huffington Post who put this out in one draft and decided they could call anyone who calls it a piece of shite a sexist.

“We have a plan. We won’t show up on their sensors.”
“Wait a moment, there are like 10 ships chasing us, so they probably have what, 1.5 million people looking on us at any given time? And you mean to tell me not one of them will not notice us escaping? Are you fricking retarded?”

This is like abandoning a pirate ship on row boats while being chased by a full armada thinking you’ll throw them off.

Also the fact that the deception to the crew was completely unnecessary and only there to prove how silly that evil man Poe was. The same Leia that fully briefed her troops during the evacuation of Hoth. If someone was going to make that sacrifice it should’ve been Ackbar. Hero of the Rebellion. Not purple Dern

---

Yup

Also seemed weird that Poe didn’t know Derm. There’s only a couple hundred rebellion fighters so it seems like a high ranking bitch like Dern wouldn’t been known to all.

Plus, was Rose down there just to guard the escape pods? She says she’s stopped others from evacuating. Seems like the pods should’ve been better guarded than just her. And now they’re unguarded when Rose goes on adventure.

muh grrrrrl power

The Mary Poppins scene was the worst moment from the entire universe and no, I haven't forgotten about Jar jar.

That's the kind of thing that makes me think they did this on purpose. I think any one of us in this thread could come up with a better idea than that, and they have several overpaid "artists" handling this.

How about, as the the laser/torpedo is about to breach the hull where the bridge is, Leia beginning to summon force powers. As the hull breaks away, Leia, with her back to the breach, lifts her arms and gathers all of the hull bits and debris back inwards. She holds it in an intense moment until a force field is said to be re-established. Then, she collapses and remains unconscious like she did anyway.

That's the first other idea that came to my mind. It may not be Oscar-worthy, but it's better than Mary Poppins by a long shot.

..... Why didn't she just force halt the torpedo....

She's hearing multiple reports from her bridge crew and is giving out rapid fire orders, trying to fight off attacks from all angles. Maybe the torpedo is missed by a crewman or pilot and Leia has to basically drop everything and expend herself just to keep them alive in that one moment.

Only issue I had was retconning Leia to be a force user, but it actually makes sense that she would be to a small degree.

Actually that’s not a retcon. She felt her mutual connection to Luke.
