Burbin has been trying to convince me all weekend that the Exegol battle makes sense, Hal. Truthfully - again, no disrespect to him - I’ve yet to be convinced that “there’s decent argument to be made for the way it plays on in the theatrical.”

Why does Finn start to leave if he doesn’t think the Nav Tower is destroyed?
Why does he go back to re-destroy it if that wasn’t the plan?
Why does Poe think that the Nav Tower is destroyed “but not for long!!” if he just saw it blow up from the inside?
Why would Finn only care about stopping the nav signal “till help arrives”? Does it not matter if any Sith Ships slip out after Lando shows up?
If Poe knows that it’s their “last chance” to destroy the Sith fleet before they escape, why is Finn the only one who, on a whim, thought to completely cut off the navigation signal? That should be the priority target, right? But if that’s already the plan in the first place, that makes more sense.

And again, just the general idiocy of “only trying to trap them temporarily, and then pray to god that Lando can gather enough ships and they all make it to Exegol in time” being the entire plan on which they hang the fate of the galaxy. You have a means of crippling the entire, infinitely large fleet, and you’re not going to take it? Are they that dumb, or are they just incompetent?

I know the whole script is a jumbled mess of stupidity, but this seems like a really easy way to correct a lot of stupidity all at once. God, this movie…
