I’m not even sure if posts like run2deaths are real or just people taking the piss. Not directed at you R2D just that kinda posts leaves me wondering is it schtick or real
I like Kelly Marie Tran and her role. But the plot stuff (longest chase scene, astral projection, bombs dropping, escape pods going unnoticed, etc) is spot on.

I thought the Astral projection was badass and consistent with Force powers.
The escape pods going unnoticed is consistent with tracking/viewing technology in the series.
I get these complaints, but you can have similar complaints with pretty much every entry in the series.

But we wanted something new. Just different something new!? You see bombs dropping in space in Empire (ties dropping bombs looking for the falcon) plus these were magnet bombs that are locked onto a target directly and fired. Astral projection has happened before we’ve just never seen it depicted like that(‘I know where luke is we have to go back’ - he uses Their connection to show her where he is physically) There’s chase scenes all over the OT They’d scrambled /jammed the signal so the Supremacy couldn’t pick up the shuttles(they weren’t escape pods)
If you have problems with that stuff but can ignore sounds in space and explosions and lightsabers all of which are impossible, I don’t know what to tell you.

As in the real world the resistance have smaller ships with a higher sublight top speed. So like a pick up truck can go faster than a semi truck and stay ahead pulling slowly away out of range but not escaping completely.
Plus the point of that is just pure arrogance of the first order and Hux delivers a couple of lines to illustrate that.
It’s meant to be high drama and create tension. Mileage may vary on how much we enjoyed it. (It was too much a lift from that battleStar episode for me tbh)

Yeah, don't get me started on Hux. Kylo takes shit from that piddly little f*ck for a movie and a half, but then all of a sudden finds the gumption to kill Snoke.

? Think you need to watch it again:) kylo knows walking in there he’s gonna kill snoke take over with Rey. He just doesn’t know how to go about it. He never took shit off Hux if you watch both films closely. He holds him in complete contempt. As does Hux him. Snokes is an abusive manipulator playing them off each other to make them both compete to be his favourite. Sicko
