"It's only worth freeing the slaves that will be useful to our rebellion" is a very modern corporate bit of messaging, and something the prequels specifically criticised the Jedi for (Luke was also freed and weaponised by them, obviously).

Guy it wasn't because "they won't be useful to the resistance" lol wtf. There are actually people not 8 years old who don't realize why that scene was foolish??? Oh my god haha.

The First Order is an organisation that's trying to stop galactic child-trafficking. Kylo Ren is a child-abuse survivor who was abducted by his creepy uncle with his parent's permission (really more indifference). When he was old enough that he was no longer "Luke's type" he narrowly escaped death at the hands of his uncle. On that day he vowed to help end the horrific practice and joined the FO. The First order has actually been rescuing children from "Jedi Grooming" planets for decades, which is where they got Finn. Also Luke didn't sacrifice himself. Yoda's force ghost killed him so that he wouldn't name names Luke Skywalker is basically the Jeffrey Epstein of the Star Wars universe

Look, they never used hyperdrives as weapons before because nobody else was so desperate and clever. Who'd else be willing to sacrifice themselves like that, huh? And they can't have guided hyperdrive torpedoes or something because, duh, hyperdrive only goes on a ship, that's in the rules. The Star Wars rules. And they can't make robots pilot ships with hyperdrives and ram with those because that's just a roundabout way to make a big torpedo. I can see you trying to rule-lawyer me here and I won't have it. I told you no. You hear me?

In a world where light bounces off light, I'm willing to allow for dramatic flair. This isn't star trek so reconciling the wave frequency of the warp core in S1E5 vs S6E2 isn't necessary.

But if you tell me there's a hyperdrive and it works like this, I'm going to want use it like a torpedo and if you say I can't, you better explain.

if hyperdrive ramming was a thing it would have been really easy to assassinate the emperor. there's millions of space ship flying around coruscant all the time. just send one down on a suicide mission and instead of landing at the space port just hyperdrive 9/11 into palpatines office

Someone said earlier in the thread the Hyperdrive instantly puts you into Hyperspace, so you're just going to pass harmlessly through anything in your way because you're no longer occupying their space or their "level of space". The danger is coming out of hyperspace and ending up in the middle of a star or asteroid field.

The hyperspace thing looked awesome but was a real loving for the suspension of disbelief necessary for Star Wars space combat as a whole. The obvious way to fig-leaf it enough that it doesn't immediately raise the question of why kamikaze tactics weren't plan A since you can blow up the biggest fuckin ship to ever exist with that is probably just to have Benicio Del Toro gently caress around a little more when he's hacking poo poo and disable something extra. Call it some kind of specialized shield or a gravity well or whatever, who cares. Maybe Holdo notices this when she's by herself and it prompts her to turn the ship around instead of some less effective diversion Then Hux can be like "lol check out this dumbass, if she does what I think she's doing she's just gonna splatter on our windshield" as she wheels her ship around and a subordinate could be like "uh sir, somebody turned off our ${technobabbleDeviceName}, it'll be minutes before we're able to get it back online" and Hux could be like "oh gently caress" and then Holdo does it That's really all it would have taken to shut everyone up about it and I wouldn't expect it to take more than 20-30 seconds of extra screentime combined

It makes no sense to fix one or another piece of TLJ. The only real fix would be to throw the whole script in the trash.

It's almost like Disney Star Wars is designed by a committee that includes coked-up marketers and the chinese government and they just take all input and mash it together without regards for how the final product looks, and then Rhian Johnson made things worse by using whatever leeway he had to just poo poo all over everything.
