They couldn't have informed us because then during that whole 40 minute adventure the audience would know it's all a huge waste and wouldn't be able to care. It's still hard to care about that bit, but still.

The more I think about it the more I like Holdo's comeuppance one of the best out of all the arcs. I initially thought that it was weird/lame that Poe had TWO failure arcs in the same movie. But the second failure was really more of Holdo's failure. I think it's interesting to show how failure can be indirect through badly managing other people. Basically Poe's failure is being too emotional/impulsive while Holdo's is not being emotional enough.

This is a good post, I like this post a lot.

I can definitely see the complaint that the movie is TOO concerned with setting up your preconceptions and then knocking them down, but that's what I like about it.

I really didn't like the Holdo thing but I do really like the Rey's parents twist, the Luke-not-training Rey twist, and the Yoda-blowing-up-the-scriptures twist. The upsetting of expectations is definitely good when used right but I think it being the crutch of the movie is pretty weak. They had enough twists, I think they should have cut back.
