[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 7315927, member: 525"] I would have to rewatch the scene, which I have no interest in doing but Poe learned very last minute after being stunned about the cloak plan. At that point disabling the active sensor would be pointless and needlessly risky. It would also suggest that Poe is a complete and utter moron and the biggest asset for the FO in the whole movie. The Resistance had a plan and kept it secret from everyone. Poe is finally told this plan and he immediately tells someone that is sneaking onto an enemy warship and thus the most likely to be captured? True, the Resistance could be Leia's personal fan club. But then why bother with ranks and organization if it does not mean anything. Feels more like they decided that Snokes felt too much like the Emperor so they found a quick way to write him out. Visual range exists to make things fit on a movie screen, they are poor explanation for how a single cruiser can survive the fire of multiple larger more powerful ships. Very true on last point, there was very little in this movie that really fit as a nice well organized plot. The biggest feeling I got from the movie is that the average person could care less who is in charge, the Galactic level leadership does nothing to affect the life of every day citizens. One other thought comes to mind. This whole movies was a huge win for the FO. The Resistance flees, has all their cap ships destroyed, escapes on shuttles, a large number of which are destroyed, then they hide in a base and what appears to be hundreds of soldiers are deployed in trenches, all of these soldiers are killed or captured and in the end Leia and a command staff small enough to fit on the Falcon is all that escapes. So the FO wiped out what? 99.95% of the Resistance AND Luke Skywalker had to sacrifice his life so that few could escape. [/QUOTE]
