So uh, I disagree completely, but one of the things I feel I should mention, Poe was absolutely not second in command. D’Acy certainly outranked him, and she seemed informed of the plan. And Holdo ‘engaged hostilities’ with Poe because Poe killed their entire bomber squad by disobeying orders. This ain’t too complicated. I don’t think we’re meant to infer that Holdo’s leadership was excellent, but ‘a fascist and draconian head of state’? What?
Poe was the commander of the rebellion fleet, the only people above him were Akbar and Holdo (considering General Leia was out). When Holdo died he was the one that replaced her, hence the second in command. Poe became general of the Rebellion, not Akbar.
I agree that Poe was shown to be irresponsible at the start of the movie (which is another thing i dont appreciate in TLJ), but in reality he saved the rebellion with his choices, Holdo only had to convey the plan to him. Leadership is not about omitting, it’s about communication and how you handle difficult people.
I have leadership meetings every day, development meetings. And dealing with all kinds of characters is the center focus. Holdo failed miserably at that. A mutiny is a sign of that too.
