Even if Finn makes it, in a melted skimmer I can’t see how that’d do much.

And I meant there are other ways to blow open that big ass door, I’m sure.

It looked like just peripheries like the guns. Fuselage was intact just prior to Rose’s interception.
They are practically at the mouth of the cannon. I have trouble buying he wasn’t going to make it or he wasn’t going to do much damage.

I guess this really does come down to individual perception. I just didn’t see it the same way you did.

Well obviously the reaction says they could have made this clearer, as many people have misinterpreted the scene. I took it, when Poe called it off as a “suicide mission,” that it wasn’t worth it, and that’s all I needed to know and the rest could easily be assumed without being stated outright.

I feel like you shouldn’t act as if you’re 100% right and everyone else is wrong. What if you’re the one that misinterpreted it? (I’m not saying that’s the case here)

Some things are normal movie storytelling shortcuts and really need no further explanation. I really don’t think that you can assume you got it all in one viewing. Even the OT has moments that need multiple viewings to fully get. I won’t bring up one thing from many pages back that there is a difference of opinion on 30+ years later. Sometimes people claim plot holes when it is either something that really didn’t need explaining due to the context or that was explained but you missed it. But sometimes, to enjoy a movie, you just have to ignore them. A movie shouldn’t have to hand you everything on a platter.
