[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 7315845, member: 3887"] DJ overhears Finn talking with Poe via communicator, who explains the transport escape plan, just prior to their capture. As for how the FO figure out the cloaks, presumably the just *do*, once alerted to the plan. It's not the transport cloaks are presented as revolutionary new technology, more like a desperate trick. Note this is a sensor cloak only - the transports are visible to the naked eye - they could have used optical telescopes. Why do you assume the Resistance operates like a professional modern military? It might bear a passing resemblance to one, but it seems safer to say it's really driven by the legendary figure Princess/General Leia, hero of the Galactic Civil War. Also, note that Holdo commanded her ship in evening wear. The Resistance is prolly not all that hung up on protocol - except when you disobey direct orders. Because the real big baddie isn't Snoke. It's Kylo Ren (for now - I wouldn't bet against his redemption in Episode IX). Ever notice how space combat in the Star Wars universe all takes place within the frame? Within visual range. The smaller craft behave like WW2 planes and the bigger craft like ocean-going frigates in a pirate movie. These depictions are governed by visual -- cinematic -- logic, not physics. Ever single space battle shown in the films is nonsensical from a physics perspective. Ever single one. Search your feelings; you know it to be true. I think it reinforces the fact there need to be a plot in Ep 9. And rallying the allies who didn't show at the end of TLJ is going to be it. [/QUOTE]
