…we have to assume they CAN’T generate a plan to disable the signal permanently.
…Yes the battle is won by destroying the nav tower, which leaves the fleet stuck on Exegol
Dude, if your argument contradicts itself, I’m gonna assume the plan makes no sense. I’m sorry. Also, again, I tried to explain from the beginning that I was insulting the writing, not you. If that wasn’t clear, then I apologize.
No offense taken! I thought this debate was civil enough, sorry if I seemed insulted or if I offended you in any way.
My argument the movie’s plot doesn’t contradict itself, the plan is to disable the signal temporarily, they execute the plan, but Finn goes a step further and takes it down for good, I don’t see how it’s so confusing. I’ve layed everything out in excruciating detail, and you choose to ignore it all and say “I’m gonna assume it makes no sense”.
For context: My original suggestion was to simplify the Exegol battle by cutting a mere eight(?) words of dialogue, so that the Resistance’s plan going into the fight is to destroy the Navigation Tower. Without the signal from the tower, the Sith Fleet won’t be able to leave Exegol, rendering them harmless.
Burbin is arguing that we need to keep those eight words, because they prove that the goal of the entire battle is not to “permanently” disable the signal, but instead to temporarily disable the signal. Then, in the “just minutes” while the navigation signal is down, the Resistance is going to take advantage of the ships’ lack of “navigation,” and swoop in and blow up all 10,000+ Final Order ships. On a whim, Finn decides to just go rogue and blow up the signal anyway; and, coincidentally, the rest of the (10,000+) ships are all immediately destroyed off camera.
I’m arguing we stick with what the movie gives us, a plan that is laid out in detail, and then carried out through. I’m arguing taking out lines have it make less sense, not more. If you just take out “eight words”, Poe’s POV makes no sense, and if you continue trimming, you’ll be left with nothing.
You’re arguing to change something that by your own admission you don’t understand.
