I guess (after a bit of digging) that was NOT the last of the Resistance.

Doesn't matter , they couldn't kill them off. You're telling me that if you were in charge you wouldn't try to overkill the resistance people in that group knowing Leia was there? You wouldn't call in more ships? get a couple juggernauts in on that action? You'd keep firing on the escape pods instead of going ahead and finishing off their cruiser? They didnt ignore the medical ship, they blew that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- up like a BOSS.

The entire movie was hinged on such a lame pretense, and that's ultimately what made me not enjoy it. Make it some kind of hide and seek chase with the empire and not a movie about coasting in neutral downhill to save gas and it would have been better. I can accept space zombie force using Leia more than first order doesn't call in more ships or scramble tie fghters to take out escape pods. When you make the bad guys that incompetent you stop giving a ---fudgesicle--- about beating them.

also, dont triple reply, just put it all in 1 post.

I get it.... I agree with you. Yes destroy. I am saying maybe they didn't have any more ships. They destroyed the medical ship up because that lost fuel. Just like the main cruiser was going to. It was a safe strategy I agree. I would not have done that myself.

And I will post 8 times if I want... don't be a dick. Each post was a response to a different member.

good talk, being super aggressive for no reason is definitely the key to casual conversation. And I agree, I'm sure the first order rules the galaxy from the last 5 ships you see on screen.

Finn and Rose crash in front of the heavily guarded battering cannon, first order is under a "no prisoners" order. How did they get all the way back to the mine with no transportation with imperial walkers and ships around.

During the chase 3 ships ran out of fuel, its established that the fuel for crusing and the fuel for light speed is separate. Why not send the support ships at the destroyers at light speed to destroy them, they were dead to rights anyway. Optionally why didnt they split up to buy time if they didnt wanna go all kamikaze

The imperial ships also didnt have fuel issues, so they could have jumped to light speed twice , once at a bit of an angle, and a second time to come back and be ahead of the rebels.

the ground around where the Fake Luke was got blasted to bits, but when Kylo hops down, its unscathed.

Im out :) Posting once is just common courtesy, feel free to be a dick about it if you want.

You are not a mod.... I'll let you know if they yell at me for posting three times in a row. :cheers:

Well I finally went to see it last night, and what a major disappointment it was.

After the surprisingly excellent Rogue One, I had dared to hope that maybe, just maybe, the Star Wars franchise was back on track again. Unfortunately, my hopes were cruelly dashed by this latest utterly mediocre offering. To be fair, it wasn't actually terrible, but it wasn't very good either, just mediocre.

It exhibited all the flaws we see in most modern Hollywood blockbusters – overlong, badly paced, superficial character development and backstory, constantly misfiring humour, etc. It also managed to be incoherent in places, which is quite an achievement given how simple the underlying plot actually is.

Anyway, here's the obligatory review by our good friend Adolf:
