BUT YOU'RE FIRED FOR USING OUR SPACE-FIGHTERS TO FIGHT IN SPACE AND HAVING A K/D RATION OF ONLY 1,500 TO 1! The FO had the forces to spare, the resistance didn't. Ignoring how stupid them not having forces to spare is... so what? You traded a bunch of crappy bombers which would be useless in a fight and some X-wings... FOR A FUCKING CAPITOL SHIP! It doesn't get much better than that in terms of trades. Plus, let's not forget that, if Poe hadn't made that trade, not only would the resistance taken a lot more damage just escaping, but they would have takes a LOT more in the later fight (removing it's guns and fighters) and had an additional ship trailing them (not that they weren't f'ed anyways). In military terms it's like trading a bomber wing and some fighters for an enemy aircraft carrier/battleship. That's NOT a bad trade. Pretty much the only way it could be 'bad' is if the imps hadn't spotted them yet (another stupid bit; how the heck the wing got that close without being detected; as well as why the heck the bombers weren't faster) and Poe's stunt had given them away... which wasn't the case. It's really simple. No matter how you look at it the opening sequence was just a mess of narrative flaws, holes, and bullshit that happened only so that Johnson could have a WWII style bombing run and force things to be where he wanted them to be. Like, imagine if, in Harry Potter, Harry got suddenly hit by a curse that turned him into a midget and transported him into another world and ripped away his magic and the only way to break the curse was to find a magic stone and journey with several dwarves and Dumbledore (Dumbledore checks out of spellcheck but not 'Dwarves'?) hidden away in a mountain guarded by a dragon just because Chris Columbus decided he wanted to tell his version of The Hobbit instead of the next Harry Potter book. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your *! - White Mage <cite>Unbridled9 posted [p:909867020] in Research F...
