Go back and watch the rescue of Han from Jabba and tell me there’s anything even remotely strategically sound about that plan. It’s literally the worst rescue plan ever. And they had months to plan it, whereas Finn was acting on impulse.

Yeah and ROTJ is considered the worst of the originals for things like that and Ewoks killing stormtroopers with rocks and arrows.

This is Star Wars, people. It’s not Shakespeare

Well ****. Let’s just do whatever we want because this isn’t Shakespeare.

Yeah it’s not like they modeled the assault on the death star after WWII fighter movies or anything.

Much anger I sense in you.

If you don’t like the ROTJ flaws I mentioned how about the fact that of all the planets in all the Galaxy, R2 and the Death Star plans ended up on Tattooine, a couple of blocks from where Luke Skywalker (who happens to be the long lost brother of the princess who gave R2 the plans) lives, and he just happens to be pretty much neighbours with Ben Kenobi (who, in his wisdom, decided NOT to change Luke’s surname - or his own for that matter - when he hid him from his evil Father… Or his own for that matter), and all because one Imperial gunner decided NOT to fire on an escape pod that launched from a rebel ship they had just captured. Sure it had no life signs on board, but I’m assuming a trained imperial gunner would be aware of the existence of droids and their ability to carry data (secret data being the reason they captured the rebel ship in the first place).

I’m just saying try to enjoy it for what it is. It’s common knowledge that the original Star Wars was based on cheesy 1940s space operas like Flash Gordon. It’s more about adventure than solid plot and military strategy. I agree with everybody on here about TFA’s flaws (and the fact that everybody is pointing out the same flaws shows that it does indeed have it’s problems) but, y’know, it was fun and I enjoyed it and it felt good in all the right places. I guess I love Star Wars for different reasons to some of you guys (and as I’ve said before, that’s cool, each to their own… but as Frink has pointed out, I’d rather be one of the guys who enjoyed it and just got a great Christmas gift from JJ and co).
