He didn't die you fagtron. You can see him on the Falcon in the final scene, talking to Chewbacca I think it was.

Ackbar was never a real character you faggot. You place undue importance on him because of memes and expanded universe wanking.

>Ackbar was never a real character

I feel bad for these Star Wars characters who have to fight in war after war after war only to accomplish nothing an eventually die. Imagine being like a WWI soldier and then you're drafted into WWII and then they drag you into the Korean War and then they drag you into the Vietnam War and if you aren't dead yet they drag you into more wars until you are.

TFA and TLJ are at least self-aware about this, though.

You aren't supposed to care about the old characters now

how did this nobody outrank akbar anyway?
akbar should have been put in command.
he's a real fuggen admiral and has been since leah was a teenager.

Leia's money, Leia's Resistance. Ackbar was just the dude who commanded the ship.

yeah, but why was pink haired granny put in charge over him?

and purple haired nobody isn't a character either.
Putting the guy that was with the rebels for the hardest times up to and including the second death star makes a lot more sense than some literal who that got the job because she's leia's friend.

he has been a military commander since the clone wars and gathered most of the ships used be the rebellion as well as serving as fleet commander during the battle against the second death star.

the real question is why ackbar didn't 9/11 the dreadnought instead of purple hair tranny

Because The Last Jedi was about letting go of the past.

Ackbar was dead by then.

If we're being honest, I think they should've just cut Laura Dern's character completely and given the whole role to Ackbar. He gets a chance to actually be a character, nobody complains about "MUH AGENDA", and he gets the sendoff people are reeeeing that he deserves.

That's expanded universe wanking you dolt. His only role in the FILMS (the shit that actually matters) is to give narration during the Battle of Endor.

Yes, she is a character. You might not like her because hurrr durr tumblr feminism hurrrrrr but she's an actual character with intent and purpose within the film

Isn't it obvious? Admiral Ackbar pulling an Allah Akbar? The memes would have been too good.

man, what could have been?
a man can dream, i suppose...

If they're so obsessed with "killing the past" why kill off a new-character-nobody? It should have been Leia.

It also would have helped if there was a reason why highest-ranking officer had to be the one to do it. Just a little mention that Admirals' vitals must be detected on board to jump to hyperspace. ah fuck it who cares the film was a mess

Nien was in the falcon in the ending.

Less character than akbar and FAR less experience in real battles.

Imagine if Akbar had been the one to make the heroic sacrifice, a loved character doing something big.

Instead you just get admiral WHO shows up for 30 minutes and dies after getting tons of people killed then kills herself and "PEPOL HAIR LADY DIED FO THE WEBEWION PWEESE CWY NAOW"

>Let’s replace colorful and diverse aliens with more humans.
SJWism is a hell of a drug.

They're killing off old characters (like Akbar) and their replacements (Admiral Tumblr)

maybe if you work backwards enough youll discover tlj was actually going to be the best film ever made

admiral ackbar is only known for being the funny fish guy who shouted IT'S A TRAP and that's the only thing people remember him for

he's a fucking joke and he would not be able to deliver any sort of dramatic scene with any kind of emotional weight, the only reason why you pretend to care is that you're a wikifag

Everyone would have creamed themselves if Ackbar had been the sacrificial pilot. They could have built it up that he was tired of the forever war and buckling in for one last effort.

Fucking Rian, pissing away prime material for no fucking reason.

>this noname character will surely carry more weight in 30 minutes of being an incompetent moron than the character people remember!!!
>UR A WIKIFAG IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE

>and he would not be able to deliver any sort of dramatic scene with any kind of emotional weight

The way he sighs and slouches in his chair in relief after the battle of Endor has always stuck with me since I was a kid. There's more emotion in his delivery and small moments like that than some pink haired dipshit.

>es, she is a character. You might not like her because hurrr durr tumblr feminism hurrrrrr but she's an actual character with intent and purpose within the film

She dont have a development, she is not a character. If you wanted to include a female character, Mon Mothma could be the right choice since she is the second most known female leader after leia and she appeared in several movies... but no, Holdo was a great choice.

She was never a military leader desu
I'm still sad that the novels ruined her character

>she never was a militar leader

Neither Leia.

Leia was more qualified than her because
>can shoot and has shot people to death
>has already taken part in espionage under the guise of being a diplomat
Her being a general was more or less just a promotion
