I should have picked Holdo; but I thought that was the imperial guy. I screwed up. But yea... Holdo easily. Politics aside she's an incapable buffoon. She should have just been upfront with Poe and told him what was going on. If they had Poe's entire plot would have been avoided; not that it wasn't stupid anyways.

Yes, Holdo, you have the imperials actively shooting at you, striking your shields constantly, and even lost two ships. You could have all three ships go in opposite directions to try and make the imps have to lose track of at least one. You could have evacuated the two other ships ASAP then had the empty frigates hyper-ram the imperial fleet (which is bonkers stupid but not the point here). But what's your plan? To run to a dilapidated base with the imperials LITERALLY SHOOTING AT YOU THE WHOLE WAY before sacrificing your capitol ship and frigates in the HOPE that the imperials don't notice the MULTIPLE transports heading down to the planet despite being in blatant visual range, use your ship as a shield despite how the imps can launch fighters or just bypass your ship (they have multiples after all), then HOPE the imperials don't engage in a spaceborn bombardment or launch a ground assault since your BEST ground ships are ships that are not only stripped bare but can't even hover properly without the aid of a ski and THEN that the imperials don't have technology like AT-AT's that they're willing to deploy.

The sheer volume of stupid makes it seem more like she was an imperial plant than an actual capable and thinking captain.

Also, getting mad at Poe was INSANELY stupid! Like, the guy lost BOMBERS taking out a star destroyer (which is also stupid but not important right now). Those bombers weren't gonna be worth jack in fighter combat (unlike Y-wings which makes me baffled as to why they switched) and taking out a capitol ship is literally their intended purpose. Yes, they suffered losses, but either you were going to jump away and could replenish your numbers at the nearest republic outpost or you were going to, say, get followed and be forced into tense and tight fighter combat with imperial ships pounding at you from long distance. You know... A situation where sacrificing a few bombers and fighters to take out a capitol ship is the BEST outcome you can hope for!

Oh. And let's not forget that, in order for this to happen, they had to put Leia in a coma and KILL fan-favorite Akbar! All for this incapable purple-haired, director's pet to get control in the first place.

The most Jar Jar did was be annoying. He didn't do anything that actively sabotaged the good guys till the third movie.
