[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9237928, member: 4348"] May have been mentioned before... The Last Jedi - So...you have this Resistance/Rebel Fleet (and throughout the movies they can't make up their mind whether they are called the Resistance, or are Rebels) that is fleeing from a Fleet of First Order Starships. Now, despite the fact that the First Order could simply hyperspace a bunch of ships to all sides of the three Resistance ships and do a pincer movement...they don't...but this isn't what I'm really griping about. It's that they never think about using all their smaller shuttles and hyperspacing a few hundred people away. I mean, Finn and Rose did it going AND coming back. If they can go and get back without getting noticed, surely you could do that with others as well. They could go in all sorts of direction and then gather back together later. But NOOOO...instead they have to have some convoluted plan to simply ship everyone at slow speed to a close by planet they get to. Even if they hadn't been noticed... How long until their one last remaining ship runs out of fuel or dies off and then the First Order goes...hmmm..where could everyone have gone? Well...there WAS this ONE planet they went by... Yeah...Stupidest plan...EVER. And demoting the guy that blew up a ship that would have taken you all out. You should have promoted him to admiral after you found out your entire fleet was "somehow" being tracked (tracking device anyone...or didn't anyone ever watch...I mean read the history manuals...from Star Wars a New Hope???). If he hadn't destroyed that Dreadnought they would have destroyed all 3 of your ships shortly thereafter when they came out of Hyperspace after tracking you. But wait, it gets even BETTER! They have this supposed battle before their base at the end. Those little Air speeders (Salt SpeederS?) do absolutely NOTHING. They don't fire weapons, they don't shoot, they don't do anything but get shot at and destroyed? Why were they even out there in the first place if they don't do anything except fly around? It makes zero sense that they were out there to get shot at if they don't do anything. Was the only plan to RAM things and hope that their fragile frames blow those items up? Cause that didn't even come close to happening. And finally, we get to the end, where a man dies...simply for looking at the Sun? I mean...was it that he sent an illusion of himself so hard that he DIED???...apparently of sweating to death or something? It's never explained and makes no sense. It's like the director just wanted to kill some character off or something just cause...because it makes no sense to me why that guy died. It pops out of the blue for no reason, though he did seem to be sweating a lot. Maybe he slipped or something (looked like he was levitating, so I have a hard time thinking he slipped and bonked his head...but even if he had you could have had him say owww or something to tell us something happened).
