I don't even care about the greater implications of the physics inconsistencies brought up by the Holdo maneuver. I'm just irritated she waited until like 2/3 of the escape pods had been shot to shit to pull it off, especially since she knew she was effectively boned anyway. She just started out the viewing window for a long time. Should've done it the second the last escape pod was launched. But movie drama.

Also Leia and Holdo refusing to tell anyoe on the ship their plan was just stupid movie logic to give the audience the idea that Holdo may be a villain or inept, and so they could have the big heroic revelation followed shortly by a sacrifice. There is zero reason Holdo could not have told Poe immediately what Leia ended up telling him anyway after they had abandoned ship.

Also who is Snoke, really? He's clearly very old and this movie only takes place about 30 years after the first one. He would have been alive at the time of the previous films and possibly the prequels as well, so why are we just now learning he exists? Someone that powerful surely should have been a prevalent character in the world before, even if he wasn't shown on screen in any other films.

Also the bombing run in the beginning is a bigger physics clusterfuck than the hyperspeed bomb. Why do the bombs fall out without gravity? There's no mechanism forcing them out. Why do they explode when hit? Why can't space movies ever learn that there is no fire in space? And even if there is magical sci fi fire, why are all the bombers so close that one of them blowing up causes a chain reaction which blows most of them up? What kind of idiotic formation are they flying?

I could keep rambling but basically the whole movie reeks of lack of script editing. It's like the first idea that anyone came up with was storyboarded and put on film without ever checking with anyone else if it was a good idea or even made sense.
