      Locking out Poe doesn't mean she kept everyone in the dark. Poe literally barges in on her briefing the bridge crew. The mutiny was Poe and like five of his friends - Poe, specifically, was locked out because he had just been demoted for disobeying orders to retreat.

        Are you sure? There’s all those officers who join Poe in the mutiny so obviously they weren’t briefed.
        >Poe, specifically, was locked out because he had just been demoted for disobeying orders to retreat.
        Why couldn’t she tell the whole crew?
        Part of the job of a commanding officer is to keep morale high and stop the chance of any mutiny or rebellion, the very fact that Poe tried to remove her and a lot of the crew joined him proves that she failed her job.

        No, it was everyone. We saw the damn speech where she literally just told everyone to "Just keep hoping", for no reason. Why? Because the moron who wrote this script literally could not think of a conflict if Poe just, you know, learned there was a plan. Unsurprisingly the guy who wrote "And then the ship turned around and hyperspace rammed the other ship even though MULTIPLE REBEL SHIPS had been shot down by this point in this slow ass car chase" wasn't very good at writing scripts.

                They didn't really have one, but the original story by Colin Trevorrow had Luke in a larger role and Ben as the main villain.

                It would've needed rewrites because Leia was still central, but I would've rather seen that movie.

                Everyone says Rian Johnson killed off any potential story for ROS, when he clearly set up Ben as the conflicted final big bad, and even had Hux as the most senior rival within the First Order who could take over if Ben became good.

                Kylo isn't Vader. He's not this big unstoppable object the protagonist needs to level up to defeat, he's a younger villain meant to grow alongside the protagonist whose defeat spurs him to question himself and develop into his own villain rather than be discount Vader

                In the movie Ben was sperging out and clearly still conflicted. In my vision he's already embraced evil (maybe in the movie have him commit some atrocities without hesitation and hint that he's become much more powerful) and is attacking Luke ferociously but intelligently, deducing via some force voodoo that Luke is astral projecting and ending the fight immediately.
                It would actually be right up Rian's "subvert le expectations" alley by having the climactic showdown end abruptly and barely do anything to help the resistance.

    That's just Empire Strikes Back again

      And if there's one thing this story about a plucky young jedi coming to a deserted planet to find an old jedi master while their friends are currently being chased by the army of bad guys and go on a side quest to a planet to meet with an old contact only to be betrayed by said contact while the jedi initially gets dismissed by the old master only to have a blue transparent ghost of their past show up and convince them to train them so they do vague physical exercises and the old master gives a brief talk about the force before he puts the jedi in a spooky cave where they're shown visions relating to their personal life and briefly giving into the darkside much to the chagrin of the master and then the jedi gets a call from across the universe showing that her friends are in trouble so she leaves despite the master's protests to confront the fallen darkside apprentice who's working for a crinkly old darkside master who sits on a giant throne in the middle of their superweapon and at some point giant four legged walkers attack a rebel base on a pure white planet while the rebels use local vehicles to fend them off unsuccessfully to give them time to escape which they do in the Millennium falcon specifically isn't, it's the Empire Strikes Back!

      I mean, they crammed in the elevator scene, the scene where the jedi tries to reach out to the darkside apprentice after learning his backstory, and even throne room scene from the next movie too! It's more than just ripping off ONE movie shamelessly and doing everything so terribly that even normies said "Nah" and went to see Jumanji.

    Yep, totally fixed this dumpster fire of stupidity and maybe saved it from becoming the world record holder for drops between sequels as people dropped it enmass to the point where more than 1 out of every 3 tickets was sold in the opening weekEND.

    Totally saved Star Wars from its merch being put into giant shredders because fricking nobody wanted them and everyone regarded this trainwreck as a joke except the critics who were desperate to be validated. Way to go, buddy.

    The funny thing about making Luke not wanting to fight is that it completely lessens the entire main conflict in TFA is the First order trying to kill Luke before the resistance finds him because he's that big of a game changer in the war. Hux should've been panicking when he saw Luke on Krayt. And when he does decide to fight it's too late and the resistance is down to like 20 people.

      TFA making Luke into some kind of demi-god who could change the war singlehandedly was a terrible idea in the first place.

        And if there's one thing that can salvage a bad idea, it's a worse idea that relies on a flashback to explain a 180 and does it so poorly we still don't know why the only person in the entire universe who has tested multiple methods of saving a darkside fallen family member never tried the one thing that actually worked.

        Seriously, Luke is the one, single, person who knows that just reaching out to him in a normal ass way is way more effective at bringing back people who are related to him. The only guy. And do they even give a single solitary line of dialog to imply "Hey, I tried just, you know, talking to him and reaching out to him"? I mean you think that would be basic, this is so obvious even the dumbest writer would at least close that massive character gap, right? You'd be wrong! Trust me bro it was there if you make up your own backstory but don't because your theory sucks unlike mine which was nothing.

          Kylo saw Luke standing over him with a lightsaber poised to strike, it's obvious he can't be the one to make amends here.

            I love that you just regurgitated that in desperate hopes of ignoring the whole 'Getting to this point is a massive gap of the single character in the entire saga who tested this method already against a darkside fallen family member and knows for a fact it doesn't fricking work, and we're not even going to give a single line of dialog to even imply he tried the one successful method before this, the one thing that makes this entire thing nonsensical and only would work if you, the viewer, made up something not given by a movie made by a guy who specifically b***hed because people thought of things not told by the movie'

            Slipped right on by us.

                Do you think I'm a fan of TLJ or and defending it? I'm not.
                I'm just pointing out that Luke can't be the one who saves Kylo given he was poised to kill him, which is unlike the Vader redemption arc. If you don't like the "Luke almost killed Kylo" narrative than that's a seperate issue.

                This is the second time you've said this when, again, the issue is that this story beat isn't just nonsensical, it's literally antithetical to the one, single, solitary character in the entire saga who has gone through different methods trying to help a darkside family member, written by someone so stupid they literally did not give a single line of dialogue to even imply this wasn't plan A.

                What you're saying is the equivalent of saying
                >Luke couldn't have been the one to destroy Starkiller base because in the flashback he built it, sealed up its weak points and left the keys to it out on the table

                Like, of course he wouldn't in that situation, but if he got there in the first place it either requires a lot more explanation or it's so terribly written that you could do literally anything you wanted with it, because it's such a shitty foundation that any moral or story thematic are positively worthless and written by the dumbest motherfricker alive.

                OK? That's a fair argument, it's just not what we were discussing.
                I was only pointing out that after he drove Kylo away he couldn't be the one to redeem him like Vader because circumstances were different.
                But I agree that him trying to kill Kylo in the first place was character suicide.

                It's what i said initially and then you brought up the attempted Kylo stab even though my entire complaint was it's so bad and requires such a leap it's worthless to the story.
                >I was only pointing out that after he drove Kylo away he couldn't be the one to redeem him like Vader because circumstances were different.
                Sure he could've. It could've ended with him playing catch with Kylo. It could've ended with him revealing he was Kylo's father. Why not? Nothing in it has any worth as a story due to the nature of it's foundation. The holding a lightsaber could've been a dream and it wouldn't be any worse written as a plotpoint, you cannot go any further down as a thematic element than the basis on which he built the story.

                That this story element is included at all is not justification for any further lacking story that follows, Luke could've redeemed Kylo by himself and it would be no lesser of a story because getting here required so many leaps and gaps in logic that anything could've sufficiently ended it without feeling more or less fulfilling than what was delivered.

                When you hit a story beat this bad, there's no justifying more awful storytelling after it by trying to adhere to it.

                Since we already know from TFA that Luke fricked up in training Kylo and you're implying the 180 came after that.

        It would've worked if Snoke would've gotten pissed at Kylo for failing and began putting him through brutal training to match Luke and or Snoke himself decided to deal with Skywalker. An epic force battle between Snoke and Luke would've been awesome.
