Yeah this complaint is stupid. BB is right there, chirping, as r2 wakes up. Sounds reasonable

That’s not what I mean. So let’s ignore the embarrassing scene where R2 is revealed like a 1:1 collector’s item for us to get all nostalgic at. He comes online as he’s like “oh hey I’m alive, you didn’t take this map already?” before calling 3PO a gold plated fuckwit or whatever they bleeped since he was the one saying how unlikely it was that R2 had the damn thing. Ignoring this, why did he wake up at that exact moment just in time for the battle victory? What if it took like another year or more? Or never? It’s all backwards, as if they realised that if BB8 had the whole map the movie wouldn’t need a diversion into the Death Star, and so they made up the missing fragment and sleepy R2 stuff.
