Leia wasn't a military member until Empire after which she wore military clothing. They put Holdo in a flowing dress because they were trying to evoke something from the previous films they failed to understand. She could very well be a civilian leader in charge of the fleet though, that could have been more interesting.

I just can't get over the moral of Poe's story being "just shut up and do as you're told, don't ask questions, your bosses know what they're doing and you have no right to an explanation".

The moral to his character arc is "don't be a hero", which is also the moral to Finn's character arc. It's also the moral that all of Leia's contacts seem to abide by since none of them decide to be a hero and show up. Rose goes into a coma to stop Finn from being a hero, her dying words are essentially "don't be a hero". Holdo is a hero and dies. Luke says don't be a hero and then decides to be one one last time and immediately dies.

TLJ is so nihilistic and centrist. Don't be a hero, just follow orders. Things are bad just try and hold out for later. Don't fight the things you hate.

Rose Tico would tackle that guy about to punch Richard Spencer and tell him to fight for things he loves, don't punch Nazis

Finn it is wrong to sacrifice your life so that your friends can escape, you have to fight for things you love

Luke: *sacrifices his life so his friends can escape*

Palpatine was in charge of the galaxy and outranked everyone, so why didn't the rebels just do what he told them? :confused:

He didn't relay it properly through the chain of command. And couldn't.

It's Palpatine -> Tarkin -> Ozzle -> Antilles -> Leia -> and so on.

Tarkin can't just tell Leia to do something, by the start of Empire those first three links are gone so command breaks down

I think the movie is supposed to take place like 10 minutes after the end of the last one, so Holdo is a resistance admiral who was fortunatete not to be in the fleet as it was destroyed by the super death star in the first one who must have recently joined the rest of the remaining fleet

you're right, it was actually attempted murder

Wrong your honor, if my client draws his weapon in the heat of passion, but hesitates and makes the decision not to kill the so called "victim" intent is not present. He can only be charged with endangerment, and assault.

The thing about Luke is I don't believe he would ever start a Jedi academy in the first place, even though that's the premise of most supplementary books. He threw his lightsaber away in RotJ.

Nah, at best they'd wipe out those first order ships locally but the FO controlled the entire galaxy . Who even died after the laser knocked down the door? No one that I can recall

And after they make that tiny hole in the door Finn has enough time to drag Rose's lifeless body full of cuts 3 miles over salt, through the tiny hole, and to the escape route before the first order manages to waltz through. I guess Luke distracted Ren for roughly 45 minutes.

he murdered my best friend in the entire galaxy, Greedo

It's funny because they actually were childhood friends in a deleted scene from Phantom Menace(well frenemies, they got in scuffles). George Lucas was smart enough to delete this scene because it made the world too small(don't give him too much credit obviously, given C3P0). Whoever made Rogue One did not have that level of restraint

i had to look these names up which tells me it's not really worth caring about

They aren't, which is why it was dumb for them to be put in the movie. As dumb as a scene where Greedo and Anakin get into a fight and somebody says "One day your aggressive attitude will be the death of you little Greedo, I swear". George Lucas actually filmed that scene, which is bonkers, but cut it because it went a little too far even for him

Have Kylo and Rey see Anakin at the same time. Rey sees Hayden Christiansen and Kylo sees Darth Vader voiced by Jones.

You see a force ghost how you want to see it. Kylo wants to see Vader because of his obsession with the legacy of darkness and Rey wants to see Hayden because she mad horny

And furthermore, why did time travel 200 years after he was born change an Indian ubermensch from a suave South American with amazing hair into a pasty British dude with normal hair

Kirk's interaction with the Guardian of Forever resulted in Khan's specific augments having been chosen into that configuration, but in the Kelvin Universe Khan was woken up before Kirk had done that

Cumberbatch was clearly intended to be Joachim, he even looks like him, and Khan was going to be someone else in the background set up as a future villain (probably why they were trying to get Benicio Del Toro: to continue the fine tradition of casting actors from Mexico with fabulous hair as Khan), but at some point someone said gently caress it and just made Dr. Strange into Khan.



Funny story, this guy (who practically steals every scene he's in) isn't credited in the movie because his agent tried to pull some "His name's on the poster or his name isn't on the film at all!!!" power move

Every Chinese person I've interacted with has had nothing against black people. They've had racist ideas about them but not any negative feelings. A lot of "Oh my God wow his skin is so dark wow how could that be possible!" And "Can I touch his hair" and that kind of thing but no direct malice or dislike
