8) I'm not sure how well a lightsaber would deflect shots from the AT... whatever those were. I'm pretty sure Ren didn't know either. Having them all shoot at Luke was foolhardy.
The bigger AT-AT's? That's the AT-M6. All Terrain MegaCaliber Six (The weird name is because of the armament apparently)

Well, Evil didn't exactly cover itself with glory in this movie either.

1) General Hux... wait. First off, why is a GENERAL in charge of a fleet? Surely there's an ADMIRAL around who can run a fleet better than Hux does. That's a major Idiot Ball moment for Snoke, putting Hux in command of his fleet. If Hux is really the best he's got, he's got no business even operating a fleet.

2) Hux then goes to attack a Resistance base - a base he knows is equipped with stub fighters of the type that just took down Starkiller Base - without deploying his own fighters to defend against them.

3) Hux is further successfully delayed for several minutes by Poe, rather than just opening fire and blowing that stationary X-wing into orbital debris.

4) Fast forward a bit, Hux finds the Resistance fleet in deep space... why does only ONE ship ever fire on the Resistance? For that matter, why not use the several hundred (if not several thousand) TIE fighters and bombers go whole hog on that pathetic fleet remnant?

5) Sure, your star destroyers can't keep up with the Resistance in normal space, and the Resistance can't go into hyperspace due to fuel shortages. Ah, Hux, there's nothing stopping YOUR ships from hopping into hyperspace for a couple seconds and creating a nice little Resistance sandwich...

6) Snoke then COMPLETELY misreads Kylo Ren, completing his time with the Idiot Ball. And life.

7) Sure, the hyperspace ram did quite a bit of damage to your fleet. Surely an orbital bombardment with what was left would have been more effective than landing troops.

8) I'm not sure how well a lightsaber would deflect shots from the AT... whatever those were. I'm pretty sure Ren didn't know either. Having them all shoot at Luke was foolhardy.

9) Pausing the whole assault while Ren dueled Luke was also foolhardy. Surely Ren could have tied Luke up sufficiently for the rest of the troops to finish off the Resistance.

10) Please tell me the TIE fighter pilots are not so inept as to ALL be shot down by the Millennium Falcon... If it's true, then Snoke really jumped the gun. He needed another decade or so to train decent fighter pilots... and ideally, a decent set of fleet commanders too.


Yeah, there was a lot of stupid on the First Order side. Like, couldn't Ren have sent one AT forward while he duels Luke? Why didn't the rest of the fleet support the Dreadnought?
I understand why Ren ordered all units to attack Luke though. He really hates his old master, and trying to obliterate him with massed fire seems logical for him to do. Seeing Luke just shrug it off should have made him go "waaaait a minute, something doesn't seem right" though
Much like the Empire in Rogue One, the only reason why the rebels are successful is because the First Order are dumb. How am I supposed to take them seriously as a threat if they are such bad tacticians?

Virtually nothing in the film makes any sense and the plot and pacing is just so bad that its all noticable.

A decent director could have distracted attention from he and his teams inability or disinterest in makig anything coherent, but nope thats not what we got.

I think we've done this topic to death by now.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

That's probably the crux if it, yeah.

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”
