Yeah, I think they forgot an actor gets attached to a character, and their “death” can be an emotional experience. Rose has lived with Ackbar for three decades. On one level Ackbar’s death is as cavalier as Boba Fett’s in ROTJ. A decision made without regard to what the fans had invested in a character in spite of little screen time, and they’ve been trying to walk that one back ever since.
