The biggest mistake on the resistances part was fighting in the first place. This entire trench-system in entirely useless as they have no weapons capable of actually harming the walkers attacking them (something they should have learned from the Battle of Hoth several decades before). They should have just holed up in the base and engaged the First Order ground troops when they have to enter the base through the tiny bottleneck that is the hole in the doors

[@Akkarin-wq8rr]

@Vae Victis I must reconsider. THAT was the biggest mistake of the movie xD

[@catmani2]

To be fair, the troops outside at Hoth were simply a delaying force. They were trying to give the base enough time to get people and equipment evacuated. On Crait, what were they trying to delay? They knew no answer was coming, and they could have easily created many kill zones in the tunnels and with the small hole in the door.

[@Akkarin-wq8rr]

Plus, the only thing they were attempting to defend was the resistance i.e. themselves so there was no point to getting themselves into such a situation@@catmani2

[@matthewkuchinski1769]

Absolutely spot on analysis! the base on Crait should have been turned into another Stalingrad or, failing that, one of the fortified villages commonly used during the Vietnam War. These hamlets turned into Viet Cong strongholds forced American and allied units to fight on ground more suitable to the Viet Cong's strengths.

The Tie fighters didn't strafe parallel to the trenches. A couple of passes and no more troops.

Yep, and that´s exactly why real trenches are build in a zig-zag... (well, it´s not actually THE reason for it, but whatever)

[@casbot71]

@@aname6988 True, if your enemy had Tie fighters in WW1 or 2 then you've got bigger problems. For the others, it's to stop the effects of a direct artillery hit going down the length (shrapnel, shockwaves) and *bullets* if enemy troops manage to reach a portion. Imagine the damage (and confusion of returning fire) along a dead straight trench if someone started firing down the length, every bullet would eventually be a hit. Also the frequent corners allow bracing and strengthens and breaks up the structure, so it won't all just go in a collapse along the length if one part weakens. This were the design rules before aircraft were even invented. It just so happened that they were also the right choice against strafing runs. Once again proving that Star Wars doesn't even know basic tactics.

The Falcon had some weapon upgrades while Unkar Plutt owned it.

Luke could’ve taken out the whole army if he had been his EU version.

[@lancer737]

EU isn't non-canon, even then, he still can as new lore has him force grabbing dozens of Imperial class SDs all at once and throwing them down at Jakku, while frying dozens of other Imperial class SDs all at once with force Lightning. Surrounding him with infantry will do jack.

[@justinsmith9006]

the order might have rushed the laser cannon out thinking reinforcements were coming like the resistance was hoping for.

[@marcbartuschka6372]

That may also be a reason while they had just limited numbers of Ties and their ship did not support the attack directly - they were building a defensive formation to repell any attac from other resistance-scum. Of course we might also just searching for excuses for poor thinking of both the FO-leadership and the writers...

[@justinsmith9006]

@@marcbartuschka6372 oh it's bad writing, but trying to find a logical answer to an illogical question is fun, maybe what they fielded was all they could field at short notice and most of their efforts were to repairing the flagship? p.s. we are not justifying their writing, we are just using the bad writing to test are problem solving skills, if we can come up with a logical answer they have no excuse for their rubbish.

[@joshuaking3731]

Kylo Ren is hands down the best and most interesting character in the sequil trilogy. And I hatted him in ep7

[@matthewa441]

I think the fact that the First Order was undermanned and unprepared is perfect. Kylo was running off pure emotion, as siths do. His ego was so big that he thought that was all the troops and equipment they needed. They rushed into battle hastily, without a plan, and botched it from the very start. Kylo had just taken over as Supreme Leader and had no idea what he was doing.

[@ntolman]

I have a question for Alan: in canon or legends is there a lightside force user who was maimed like either Malak/Vader and stayed on the lightside?

[@marcbartuschka6372]

Well, Ulic Quell Dromas brother lost his arm and stayed on the light side (I guess a lot Jedi lost limbs). This is far less than Vader lostof course, but maybe at least similar to Malak, who lost his jaw.

[@QarthCEO]

[@christopherdriscoll6628]

I felt that ordering the walkers to shoot Luke was the smartest call Kylo could make. How often do we criticize villians for going 1v1 with a hero ehen they could just have an army execute them? I loved that he gave no shits about a glorious duel and just wanted to safely and efficiently eliminate his biggest threat.

[@COH-gl5yg]

Short answer everything

[@buckethead8284]

I actually think like you said about the surviving carriers, was the AAL-1971/9.1 Troop Transport. The AT-M6’s probably only had the platoons on with them just in case things went south. Because once those got closer then it would be secure enough for the Troop Dropships to land and invade the base itself. Aside from this, you opened my eyes to all the flaws 👌

Finn: I might not make it, but there's a chance that.... Rose: yesn't

[@mivapusa]

Nuking it from orbit wouldn't have been as fun, evidently

[@MonkeyJedi99]

That makes me think. Has there been a canon (or even legends) use of fission weapons in Star Wars?

[@InebriatedGalvatron]

My explanation for how Rose caught up to Finn is that enough of her speeder fell off that her top speed increased. Still don't have an explanation for how Finn wasn't roasted by the super laser, how Rose didn't kill herself and Finn when she t-boned him, or how the hell her "protecting what we love" statement applied to the situation.

[@owenjones3929]

2:23, it's always bothered me how they never give a decent explanation as to how ground vehicles are deployed. But there are some kind of ships that are carrying the siege cannon. But no one seems to know they are there. I don't know about anyone else but I want to find out more about them. If I could then the whole thing would make more sense. Even just a clear picture with a small description would do. Besides that I love this battle and people are just harsh about it and just episode 8 overall, you can never call yourself a star wars fan if all you can do is talk about how shit it is, because it's not shit.

[@casbot71]

You forgot a few things: One, did you see that tiny hole that that giant-ass cannon made in the door? I find that extremely suspect, especially since the door is several decades old and appears to be rusting away. Two, the choke point created by that hole Will basically guarantee that anything trying to waltz on through it in the manner which the first order did will die, including Kylo, Hux, and that entire squad of troopers.

Can you do the Gray Paladins? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.
