No, that can’t be the case. Because I’ve been told it completely disregarded everything about the OT and TFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I rewatched TLJ, and again, it is at best an okay movie. Rose is just terrible. In every sense of the word, she is just terrible. Disney states that they don't know what their characters look like before they hire the actor (This was made very clear with Rey and Finn) but I never believed that for a second. A gender neutral name does not change that. They are simply going for the more "progressive" look, but they lie through their teeth. and so, we get Rose, who can't act at all, just to appeal to a certain group of people who eat that stuff up. Give me a break! Mods, I hope I'm not crossing the line with this. Just need to vent a bit. I fully believe in hiring the best possible actor for a role, and keeping diversity well and alive, but Disney is doing it so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how pathetic of a plot is that, she is a 'good guy', oh but no oh but wait yes she is, she did it for the best of them all, oh how crazy of a story line. After re-watching the movie, i was wondering what the point of that was. Why couldn't she tell the rest of her team what the plan was? Why make it secret? Just to have the Poe mutiny scenes?

I get that Poe is on a need to know basis and she was trying to teach him restraint, but knowing he's very rash and impulsive she should have seen issues coming up and just told him once the mutiny was taking place.

Well it sort of did make up its own rules and pretty much disregarded everything from TFA so you got that part right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine she told all the people who needed to know because they were relevant to the plan. That’s how the military works. If you don’t need to know, you aren’t told, no matter how important you think you are. Learn restraint, learn your place, and show me I can trust you after your long history if going rogue. They made it a secret because they don’t know how they got tracked through hyperspace. Did they get tracked with some hereto unknown tech or did someone in their fleet clue them in? Hence, only tell your plan to people you know you can explicitly trust. Remember, they had to come up with it on the fly after the FO fleet followed them through the jump, so it’s not like there was a ton of time for debriefing everybody on the ship. It makes perfect sense if you can get around the idea that Poe is the star which makes us think everything should revolve around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but yours is god awful. The bolded were quite good, but Frozen? Frozen?? Trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend fell asleep. Oddly the same thing happened with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Then I re-watched both films, and then again. You get more out of them.
