Okay so there's like one thing that really irritated me.

I think they're kind of leaning on a feminist thing here with Holdo, and I'm totally cool with that. I'm also cool if they decide not to play that angle. It's not something that bothers me one way or the other as long as you stick to whatever you decide to make her character.

But it really bugged me where they had Holdo taking charge over Poe, but then when he's being loaded onto the transport, she says "I kind of like him" with a smile, as if she's already forgotten her problems with him. Yeah, she knew she was about to self-sacrifice, so maybe that granted her some perspective in that moment, but it kind of makes her feel less like a strong, assertive female character to have her fawning over Poe in that moment without seeming even a little concerned about him. Again, I don't care that she has the hots for Poe but it felt really at odds with the notion of playing a feminist angle the way she delivered that moment. It just kind of stripped away any aura they were trying (and failing) to give her without any real explanation.

Her sacrifice was cool though. No problems there.
