Also speaking of Poe's other failure let's talk about the REAL most unbelievable thing in the movie that I haven't seen anyone else bring up:

Those bombers at the start are the most inefficient shit I've ever seen. They move at like ten miles per hour, no shields and bare minimum defenses, carry explosive ordinance that can detonate not only the entire ship but OTHER ships next to it if they go off (and they will because the ships are sitting ducks), and despite being in space are designed to "drop" bombs onto the target. I suppose in Star Wars every ship has its own localized gravity so I can let the last point slide a bit. But still, fuck those things.

Oh yeah I did notice this and it annoyed the fuck out of me. It felt like they had to be super slow and vulnerable just in service of the plot but it didn't really make any sense for them to be quite so slow and vulnerable.
