[@patrioticjustice9040]

This was such a military f*ck up. We see three Star Destroyers appear along with the Dreadnought, but they stay far behind it. One should have stayed up front with the other two staying behind as rear guard. The lead destroyer could have engaged the Resistance cruiser with no problem while the other two guarded the Dreadnought as it powered up its orbital bombardment. For a Dreadnought class destroyer, how is it possible for the cannons to be so easily destroyed? One shot, and they're down for the count. I understand they're trying to show off what a great pilot Poe is, but there is no way anyone without plot armor can evade a mass barrage of cannon fire. Again, I point out, there are three Destroyers, plus the Dreadnought... and they can only muster a dozen TIE Fighters? Each vessel can carry hundreds of fighters; the Dreadnought maybe a thousand. Why the blazes didn't the Admiral maneuver the Dreadnought away from the bombers? An argument could be made, I suppose, that they had to remain at that spot to target the Resistance base, but why not move the Destroyers into position? Their cannons were operational and could have easily formed a tactical defense against the bombers. It seems like the whole point of this scene was solely based to set up General Hux for slapstick comedy.

[@karlinachen6325]

and one more thing. im always wondering why poe didn't just blow up the star destroyer's bridge, rather than shooting to the turrets. just need a couple of shoots were already more than enough to destroy the turrets even with 100% shield strenght. And btw nice editting movies.

[@patrioticjustice9040]

knight jaguar That would be another thing to blame Ruin Johnson; he was boasting how "creative" he was for introducing these WWII- style bombers into Star Wars. Not only was the design incredibly stupid and didn't really fit Star Wars (there's several videos as to why the bombing wouldn't have worked) but the formation was completely asinine. You never ever EVER have bombers in close formation; EVER. (As we see when one piece of debris takes out most of the bombers like a row of dominos.)

[@karlinachen6325]

@@patrioticjustice9040 completely agree. when the first time a saw the bombers design & its formation on that scene, "What the?! You gotta be kidding me!!" popped on my head.

[@patrioticjustice9040]

knight jaguar One of the most crucial jobs of being a director is understanding how a scene works. Were it me, and I didn't have a tactical mind, I'd consult people in the military regarding formations and mechanic- engineers for vehicle design. Just an example; the First Order is supposed to have learned from the mistakes made by the Empire. The formation they're in (quoting Vader here) is as clumsy as they are stupid. Another example is the battle itself. Those destroyers could hold hundreds of TIE Fighters, whereas the cruiser could hold maybe a couple dozen X-Wings and A-Wings. Through sheer force of numbers alone, the bombers and (I'd say at least most of the) wings should have been wiped out in seconds. And considering how slow the bombers were moving, they would have been easy targets for the escort destroyer's cannons/missile launchers. I could go on and on about this movie, but the truth is, this whole trilogy needs to be scrapped and the writers need to go back to the drawing board. Take the time to really think these things out.

You know, people say that Poe was just a hot head, not a leader. But when you take out all the forced, "you were being a hot head" dialogue, he did what any LEADER would do. The base was not evacuated, so he needed to distract the enemy. And once the Dreadnaught was in place, it could have easily destroyed the fleet after effortlessly taking out the base. Transports were still making their way up to the cruiser. They were even still docking AFTER the Dreadnought was destroyed. So if Poe had not sent out a squad to bring that ship down, one of two things would have happened. The entire Resistance Fleet would have been wiped out. Or the fleet would have been forced to jump to light speed, leaving at least half a dozen transports behind to be destroyed or captured. Poe made the decision to attack the Dreadnaught, not because he was arrogant. But because it was a calculated, tactical move. So, what was with the "we need leaders, not heroes" line from Leia? Besides, there were only that many losses on the mission because the bombers were designed to be giant, slow moving targets.

Maybe they should put music from the 'original' Conan movie soundtrack over this battle? - John Williams #1, Basil Polodouris #2.

[@g-manonthego6678]

The way that Poe Dameron led this attack against the Dreadnought was amazingly critical. If he had listened to Leia and actually aborted the attack, then the Resistance could have been wiped out easily, thanks to the fact that Snoke's large flagship would be there for assistance. That being said, he didn't deserve to get demoted for that. Even though Poe disobeyed Leia's orders and lots of lives and ships were destroyed, I still think that this attack was necessary to keep the Resistance alive and in the fight.

[@iwanttobelieve2]

Nah, it showed what kind of character Poe is. He's reckless to the point that it turns into disobedience.

[@Mikanoes]

@@iwanttobelieve2 I actually have another comment voicing my opinion on that. Poe really just did what any leader would do. The fleet was in danger of being destroyed by the Dreadnaught. So he planned a calvary raid to destroy a key target while taking comparably minimal losses. It was either lose the two man crews of a dozen bombers to take out a Dreadnaught and save the fleet. Or allow the Dreadnaught to destroy the fleet with a few shots from it's primary cannons. Or take the fleet to light speed, leaving half a dozen transports behind to face the Dreadnaught. The film portrays his action as reckless to make a point. But in actuality, it was the best strategic move that he could have made.

[@CT--fb4fy]

KIND of annoying? No this is the most annoying thing ever.

A real issue with the new star wars is how the rebels destroys immense super powered starships way to quickly. We get introduced to one of the coolest looking ships (Dreadnought) and within 10minutes we see it destroyed. WTF. Where is the military competence? Also, pointing out the elephant in the room - why don't the rebels take more prisoners? They actually seem just as trigger happy as the Storm Troopers - just different targets. The premise of these rebels seems so weak.

I guess that in Star wars universe there aren't smaller ships, like frigates, designed to destroy fighters and protect the bigger capital ships from pesky bombers. Also, are you telling me that the dreadnought only have the big turbolasers to defend it self? I expect for that ship to have thousands of smaller laser turrets designed to destroy smaller and annoying fighters and bombers, while the turbolasers deal with other capitalships. Who te hell design this ships? And the shield and armor is a joke, only a few laser shots from a x wing and the hull is getting torn apart.
