It's obvious to me that everyone went in to this movie with their own story already written in their heads. And your story sucked.
The right story was the one that was filmed. Deal with it. [Reply]

Like it or not, both Fellatio the cartoon magnate and Johnson have both drawn heavily from the EU, and Disney has signed off realizing the idiotic mistake they made in scorching the earth to begin with. :-) [Reply]

I'm just not a fan of the film, whatsoever.
The Finn & Rose subplot was absolutely stupid, as was Super Girl Leia, the slow speed chase and worst of all, Admiral Holdo's decision to "Hyperspace Into" a giant ship, thereby destroying it.
That's the biggest plothole in this film, IMO, because as I stated earlier, The Rebellion could have easily built 100 Hyperspace Drones capable of destroying the Death Star, which basically makes the entire saga null and void.
Luke becoming a crusty old man that's withdrawn from The Force is about #7 on my list of issues with this film. [Reply]
I think it was a Wookiepedia page that the retcon with why Holdo's maneuver worked was because the uber-Star Destroyer had the same shielding system as Starkiller Base which had a "refresh" rate that allowed a hyperspacing vehicle to pass through. [Reply]
In one of the videos posted many pages back, they had a round table with the director, etc. They mentioned that Holdo's move only worked because of the mass of her huge ship, and that little drones wouldn't have had the same effect. [Reply]

I just did an internet search on "Holdo Maneuver" and holy crap, are there a lot of articles and discussion about how it changes everything in Star Wars lore. [Reply]

Then why not create large ships capable of hyperspace ramming into Death Stars 1 & 2 and even Starkiller Base?
Also, since jumps to lightspeed are calculated and executed by a Navi-Computer, Holdo didn't need to sacrifice her life in order to ram the Supremacy via the hyperspace jump.
It's a massive plothole that basically makes the Clone Wars and the fight against the Empire outright dumb. [Reply]

Ohh, I know. It doesn't do much to cover the giant plot hole. Just wanted to add that they kind of tried to explain it... [Reply]
