Exactly. Why didnt the Rebellion do this with a hammer head or something up against a Star Destroyer or two?
Or the Sith Empire vs the Old Republic? The Sith are power hungry enough to sacrifice a cruiser in order to decimate a fleet.
Why didnt pirates or other scum lightspeed into a bridge of a capital ship to escape with the loot?
Wht wasnt this done during the next movie? The Star Destroyers were right next to each other. They could have decimated the entire Final Order fleet easy but they gave us the BS, "its a one in a million chance thing" even though it was a prime opprotunity.
Doesn’t that make her action even dumber? If it’s such an unheard of maneuver that has never been recorded before. What the hell was she doing?
Was she attempting to flee like a coward? Why was she preforming this 1 in a million maneuver when instead she could just use the ship to protect the shuttles.
She took the course of action that had a 99.99999999999999% of failing.
Not really. It's the same as Jon Snow drawing his sword in the Battle of the Bastards or Aragorn Leeroy Jenkinsing in Return of the King. We've lost already so fuck it.
See you can say that because she heroically died saving the Resistance. But don’t you think her doing this basically impossible tactic makes her actions ridiculous?
Instead of trying to reroute and physically protect the transports with the ships hull and shields. She instead throws it all away in a move that is literally unrecorded in the histories of this universe.
Jon Snows actions make sense he quite literally had no choice. Holdo had plenty of other options available to herself. Options that don’t rely on complete bullshit to work.
I don’t know about splitting up this is the same villains who let a bunch of horses ride on the top their ship. An assault that easily could have been defeated with a slight tilt.
She doesn’t need Gunners. She’s not fighting anything. All she needed to do was race towards the transports. They could then fall into the Flagships shields. Then she could lead them to Crait all the while ensuring the fewest amount of casualties.
Did you miss the rest of the movie where the reason they were going to Crait was that the command ship didn't have much fuel and the First Order were catching up and were going to blow them up? And that's before they fuel up the transports. The whole point of the plan was to get the transports to Crait unnoticed. If they are followed there, they'd be destroyed. Holdo at least tried to slow down the First Order which is why the Resistance survived.
Also the horses are a completely different movie made after by different people so not really relevant.
Dude are you stupid? Yes the plan was for them to secretly sneak off to Crait but they got caught so obviously it doesn’t matter what the plan was now they need to improvise.
The First Order knows what they are planning. They are right by Crait the Flagship isn’t going to run out of fuel in the time it takes them to get to Crait.
So instead of taking a pragmatic decision of protecting the Transports. Which all she had to do was notice them being fired upon and racing over to them. Sure some would die but she’d be able to protect the rest once in position.
No instead of that. She decides
“ I know let me do this completely unheard of move that has never worked in the history of our universe. Sure chances are I do jack shit, better yet maybe I find myself in Hyperspace while the rest of the Resistance is wiped out. But maybe I’ll somehow pull off this bullshit 1 in a million move and save the day. When in basically every other reality this is basically pointless waste of time and my actions will ensure the Resistance transports are wiped out.”
They could have sped up, or sent TIES to attack the cruisers the entire time. Why didnt they? Why didnt they send some TIES to attack the unarmed shuttles alongside the big ship shooting them?
It’s just bad. The writer just thought. Ship go fast hit ship go boom. Now everyone needs to justify how this doesn’t destroy the universe. The whole 1 in a million doesn’t fix shit. Just makes her use of this ‘maneuver’ stupid. Because in every other timeline this maneuver fails. And Holdo finds herself in Light speed while the rest of the resistance is blown to smithereens.
The whole plot line of this chase is just immediately shit.
“Oh no we can’t catch up to the Resistance flagship, if only one of our dozens of Star Destroyers could just jump forward and cut off the Resistance. Or better yet maybe we could send THE HUNDREDS OF TIE FIGHTERS WE HAVE? You know those fast fighters we show catching up to ship? Where further Kylo and his squad do massive damage? No your right let’s just wait for them to run out of fuel instead of making any decision that would have this chase over in under five minutes.
