    Thank you for clarifying all of that. I'm one of those rare lifelong fans (I was 7 in '77!) who absolutely loves TLJ. It feels like pure Star Wars to me, and creates the kind of "Wow! That is so weird!" tone that ESB struck for me in 1980. I also think one of the joys of this universe is that you can come up with your own answers, your own head canon. As a kid all we had were Marvel comics and a handful of books... but we all created new stories in our own homes with Kenner action figures! It was there, through the magic of toys, that we imagined our own explanations for all the mysteries of Star Wars. I appreciate the facts about how other writers have explained things, but in the end the answers are up to each and every fan.

    22:09 The reason why the "Holdo Maneuver" isn't used more often and wasnt used before on screen is because it's incredibly easy to dodge. To jump to hyperspace, a ship has to lock in its coordinates and then wait a decent chunk of time before it takes off in a straight line. Ordinarily, a ship's captain could see if an enemy ship was pointed straight at it, revving up its hyperdrive, and simply move slightly to evade its path which was already locked in. The reason why The Supremacy can't move out of The Raddus' path is because they're locked onto the Raddus and following it in autopilot. That's why you hear the captains yelling to deactivate the tracking after they realize The Raddus is headed their direction.

    Luke's Jedi Academy is something that I really hope we see more of in the future, perhaps as part of the next animated series, or perhaps a young readers book saga like Jedi Apprentice. That was my one real complaint I'd have regarding the story is that the flashback didn't show more. But otherwise I think Luke's arc nailed it for me. People as they age will live with serious regrets...I know I do. But regret is a part of life.
    I definitely don't think the film is as bad as a lot of people say, as it still has some of my favorite moments in the saga.

      Yes, people get grumbly as they get older, but I think Sci-Fi itself has also aged into the Sci-side more and more. SW may be one of the few leaning into fantasy more and more, which people either forget its fantasy or expect it to grow more Sci with the times. I for one enjoy the fantasy and hope it never dies for future generations of little nerds.

    My head canon is that the Holdo maneuver isn't commonly used due to the consequences of the great hyperspace disaster depicted in Light of the Jedi. The hyperspace shards would do way too much damage to be relied upon, causing immeasurable harm and a temporary closure of hyperspace. And since there's no Jedi to slow the pieces...

    I don't know if this was the reasoning by the filmmakers, but I always took Luke having the blue lightsaber at the end as a way that kind of countered what he did at the beginning of the movie by chucking the lightsaber. It is much more symbolic for him to use the same saber he threw away as his way of showing that he is taking up the call Rey gave him at the end of force awakens.

      My guess is that these bombers are for ground attacks. First send in the x-wings to take out the defensive weapons, then send in the bomber to obliterate the target. And because the resistance wasn't exactly drowning in ships, this was the only defence they had.

      The bombers existed for destroying imperial holdouts late in the GCW (after Endor) so would almost always have support vessels and numbers on their size. Basically the Resistance was using scraps and that was the best option at the time.
      For the second question, there's no given answer, but it's likely the pilots knew it was a one way trip and weren't planning on escaping (which I see as likely given the tactics and general nature of the rebel/resistance factions in star wars.

    Something not a lot of people consider too about the Holdo Maneuver is the fact that it doesn't honestly do as much damage as an object traveling at the speed of light should. The Raddus was the second largest ship in that film and definitely manages to cripple the Star Destroyer, but it's still functional and really only took out a wing on that ship. If we go by this logic, trying a hyperspace ram on the Death Star would prove to be ineffective; the X wings which were practically microscopic compared to the Death Star, they would barely be able to do anything against it. It's not only a waste of resources and money, it just doesn't prove to be that effective.

    I wish I liked The Last Jedi, but it just seems it tried so hard to throw out everything TFA started and really leave nothing to build on. Also it "resets" what happens to the characters in TFA, so there's no growth between movies: for example at the end of TFA Rey can use the force, at the start of this she can't but can again at the end. Or Finn gets badly injured, but at the start of this he's fine and it's never mentioned again. The actors did the best they could, and it has some great visuals - but the sequels make sense even if you skip this, which isn't how it should be. I don't get most of the hate this movie got, to me it's just a matter of story - and Ryan soo wanting to do his own thing it is completely disconnected from the series it is in. They should've just let him do a standalone SW movie instead.
