Am I the only one who was surprised to learn that Pryde was in the Steadfast (First Order Destroyer) during the battle of Exegol? For the longest time I thought he was just in a Final Order command ship.
Honestly, it kinda makes Finn knowing which ship had the signal through the Force super stupid. Like, of course the ship that looks nothing like the others has the signal.
while u guys debate the merits of XY and Z of narrative purpose, philosophies, thats like one of the first things i noticed.
i dont think its as “stupid” as it is. afterall, its more like amongst a sea of star destroyers ID’ing that one ship carrying out the signal. Thus, finding a needle amongst a stack of needles. Though, it presses more on how much of a missed opportunity it was to not follow up on Finn’s force sensitivity. It’s a cheap plot device to the average viewer, and a subtle hint to the fan that re-watches and re-watches.
