Is it going to blow up? Is there one of many possible super weapons onboard? They are obviously trying to get on board for a reason.B) assuming that the two VERY Jedi looking people (lightsabers!) are not actually Jedi.C) showing up with just six guards and letting the two Jedi walk right up to them.Basically, what this Captain does is make a bunch of snap assumptions, all of which are obviously terrible and clearly there to just facilitate lazy writing. And he's wrong because of course he is.Similarly, when the green lady - Hera? - says to just trust Sabine with the super important space map that can restart the war, that's DUMB! Ahsoka is right that it's dumb. It doesn't matter how much you like or trust the person, it is just a terrible idea to let something that important vanish to who knows where with one person protecting it. Because, I dunno, maybe the bad guys are trying to get it? Oh look, they got it. Hera is instantly made to look a fool. And real people don't do that, only characters in poorly written stories. Let's say it's a nuke, and Hera is a real world general. Do you think that, for even one second, she is comfortable letting the nuke vanish with her buddy? Let alone while knowing bad guys are after it? It's absurd.As I pointed out in my OP, I think any show should stand on its own merits, and I know a lot more about Star Wars than the average viewer anyway. And knowing all the Easter eggs wouldn't make the basic plot less ridiculous.</blockquote>
