Current Events > What did you think of Admiral Holdo's plan in The Last Jedi? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've heard people say she suspected a traitor aboard which is why she didn't divulge any details.
---

I could see why she wouldn't tell Poe.

I still think the Finn and Rose subplot was the only real major flaw of the movie. Couple different things here and there could have made it better.
---

Poe talks about withholding information from his superiors in a dire situation immediately after costing the rebellion dozens of lives in a hotshot attempt to slurp himself.

Ill never get why people think Holdo should have trusted that miserable self obsessed loser.

But I guess since its a woman with purple hair she must be SJW, so obviously shes totally incompetent despite years of service and loyalty up until her noble sacrifice.

Im sure her becoming fucking Admiral was just affirmative action....right....

If ANYONE on that ship was a traitor, it was Poe Dameron.

This guy has his internet adversaries on his mind 24/7.

The significance of Rose and Finns adventure has yet to come to fruition. So within the container of this one movie it seems pointless but theres still another movie.

It's amazing how people still think the reason folks don't like the movie is because of Holdo.

It's a good point. Some people didn't like it because Luke didn't become a Jedi God like in the books.

Stupid as shit

Did people forget how that star destroyer would've likely wrecked their shit at the beginning of the movie, hence the haste in destroying it

Poe had no opposition once he found out the actual plan, so all that "Oh she had no reason to tell him" is just defending bad writing.

I don't think anyone seriously wanted that.

We just wanted, you know, not to character assassinate him.

Oh God I was kidding. I thought you might have actually had a legitimate complaint. :-P

Anyway, I've long made peace with the fact that there are plenty of people who didn't like it. I did. They didn't. We all move on.

So was Finn literally only in a coma for a day, or did they literally just forget to refuel their ship before they left?

I know this was suggested as a joke, but I literally wanted that.

Luke being a sadboi killed the movie for me. (Among a bunch of other problems, but turbo Jedi Luke would've made me look past those.)

Did you quote the wrong person, or are you actually strawmanning that hard?

People dont like the movie for about a billion reasons dude.

That's pretty much what I thought. I mean, she wasn't wrong; the fact that someone onboard let the plan slip is the exact reason it went pear-shaped. It wasn't because of a rat as much as it was letting something slip in front of DJ, but she obviously had a good reason to keep the plan on executive eyes only.

Shockingly bad, seeing how caused not only a mutiny, but failed spectacularly on the planet, and only worked out because of the Jedi.
