That didn't bother me because it felt like hammering how desperate the situation is. They keep losing, they are down to few hundred people and taking casualties over and over. What bothered me more was Rose being a fool and "saving" Finn from doing it, delivering that cringey line of "save the ones we love". All she did was condemn them both and all their friends. Think about him dragging her that kilometer across the salt flat in front of multiple AT-ATs. Idealism dies in desperation. I agree it is awful situation and all, but that is their predicament. It really made Poe come across as a sociopath to be casual when they lose so many people. I would have liked to see it change him from being wise cracking to seeing the gravity of decisions and the challenge in front of them emerging as the leader of the rebellion. |
I mean I get they're supposed to be the underdogs and all, but putting aside for a second that they never bother to explain why in this trilogy that should be the case to begin with - considering that the Empire had been defeated - at some point you gotta write some protagonists that are clever enough that they have a plan that doesn't involve constant suicide. It's no wonder nobody answers their call for help at the end of the movie. Who wants to join that shit show? Like the leaders of the resistance seem to put a lot of planning into what outfits they're wearing to look real fancy, but then it comes down to strategy and everyone is like.....uhm......so....yolo?
Meanwhile, the bad guys are always building up huge fleets, Death Stars, converting planets into giant BS laser, etc.....
