Not to mention, Poe himself completely validates this approach when he learns of the new plan and, once again, launches his own instead. Worth noting that Holdo's plan would have been a complete success had Poe not fucked it up by blabbing details of it on an open comm within earshot of a slicer with no particular allegiance to the Resistance.

Holdo's plan was to flee to a planet with the imperials actively firing on them, losing ships in the process, then pray that the imperials don't notice an entire evacuation down to a planet where they'd have no way off-world and PRAY that the FO doesn't have things like 'land forces' in the event that they do. She would have had a much better time sending Hux an advertisement claiming he'd won the Hutt Lotto and just needed to submit the banking info for the entire FO to claim it since that wouldn't have cost her large ships (including their capitol ship) while hoping that the imperials lack things like 'scanners' or 'eyes'. But Holdo's ass of a plan, and terribleness in general, isn't my focus. It's that, from the getgo, the film is just a black hole of narrative storytelling that exists purely because Johnson wanted to make his Johnson feel good.

Why are you even bothering to defend the film? Rewatch it for christ's sake! Nothing about it makes sense and is just terrible throughout.
