Ackbar and Mothma didn't get some dramatic heart-to-heart scene with Leia followed by dramatic sacrifice scenes that I guess we were supposed to care about

The lightspeed kamikaze looked great, it's a shame that people now associate it with Holdo and think that it somehow redeems bad writing

If Holdo had been honest:

Holdo: "Hey, we're going to run towards this planet, then when we run out of fuel, we're going to eject some pods, and they'll be too small to be picked up by First Order radar. Then we will get to that planet which has an old base and we'll lay low for a bit and set up shop and use the enhanced communications to reach other rebels to rebuild."

This is a GOOD PLAN. Poe Dameron thinks this is a good plan. IT IS. It would have taken 2 seconds to tell the crew.

Instead she doesn't tell anyone at all, not even Poe's friend on the bridge who ended up mutinying with him. Actually, SEVERAL people mutinied because Holdo wouldn't have a two second conversation.

So Poe sends his friends out to go find a master codebreaker (?) to get into the ship to find the magic lightspeed tracker (??) and disable it. They end up finding Benecio Del Toro who is a turncoat and then gives away Holdo's plan to have the escape pods fly under the radar, thus costing hundreds of lives as well as the Rebel base and I guess also Luke's life if you think about it. If she had been honest then he wouldn't have been there.

She had no reason to be quiet about the plan. Maybe at first, I'll give you that, but when Poe comes storming onto the bridge yelling, why didn't she tell him there? When he said "you're filling up these pods so we can get in them and die" why wouldn't she just say "no we'll fly under the radar and get to this salt planet"

Again, it's just general incompetence. How did she make it to Vice Admiral? By wearing nice clothes and jewelry on the bridge? Transparency is key in leadership, especially in times of turmoil.

Somehow people thinking she had a cool death redeems this tho, and I guess the "girl power" thing that I see but I don't know if that's people shitposting or if people actually believe she is some kind of new feminist icon in star wars because she was paling around with Leia and put that flyboy Poe in his place
