So they killed off Ackbar so they could have this new character Holdo take over command. Even though it would have carried over a lot more emotional resonance if it had been Ackbar who had sacrificed himself for the Resistance? I just don't understand these choices.

They want to introduce new characters for a new generation

Allahu ackbar

Its a trap

Boom dead Muslim extremist

People still would have been pissed like "Wow, they killed Ackbar for this shit?" You can't win.

oh sweetie honey

>having a character named ackbar akbaring a space cruiser
>poetry

>when he rams the ship one of the storm troopers would've shouted "IT'S A TRAP"
What a wasted opportunity

I honestly think they were trying to avoid allegations of "Islamophobia" (as if that's a real thing) with a character named Ackbar doing a a suicide attack.

Plot wouldn’t work with Akbar. He would have just told Poe the plan, and then you never get the shitty Casino plot. Also, at no point does it appear that you need a person to stay on the bridge to pilot a ship, so a sacrifice is pointless. They could of all just escaped if it weren’t for Admiral gender studies. Leia should have died too

It was necessary for the character to be a autist for the plot to work. Going by what we've seen of him, it would be strange of Admiral Ackbar to keep people in the dark. It would be strange for Leia to keep people in the dark.
It would only make sense if you had a tactically smart person with no social skills.
Not saying that the idea worked, but Vice Admiral Tumblr was a necessity for the execution of the storyline.

>You can't win.

It's pretty easy desu to win actually. Keep Ackbar alive. Remove Holdo from cannon. Reverse the timelines to right before TFA.

Reboot the new trilogy. Reboot it. No one will fight you over this Kathleen. JUst reboot it. You still have time to keep this machine going if you REBOOT WHAT YOU DID ALREADY CMON KATHLEEN REBOOT THIS SHIT ITS THE ONLY THING YOU KNOW HOW TO DO.

Can't win is a joke. The only way you can't win is by raping everything in the lore just like they are doing. By saying they can't win you give them a pass.

>It would only make sense if you had a tactically smart person with no social skills.

She was tactically retarded though.

...

These movies were made by people that have no souls.

bro...never mind.

Just saw it.
It was excellent.
Yes, a ton of faggy sjw homo hippy shit too, but enough badassery to be entertaining.

>raping
>lore

It’s fucking star wars you sperg. Who gives a fuuuck? Anything since ‘77 ain’t fuckin canon

>Anything since ‘77 ain’t fuckin canon

Prequels are, the nu trilogy isn't. Sorry it triggers you m8.

I assumed they killed off Ackbar out of respect for the (voice) actor who played him, Erik Bauersfeld, who died in 2016.

Ackbar shouldn't have hyper suicided either, because that tactic destroys a lot of the old stories...They should have scratched Holdo, and make Ackbar win the space battle by sheer tactics and strategy (nice intense scenes on the bridge with officers going back and forth on what tactic to use next a mental game of chess, kino)...really make ackbar shine and point out his superior intelligence and whatnot. You can still have him die by the end but as a victor against all odds (maybe with a little flashback of his past battles long ago and his lessons learned in the art of war and life. pure kino)

They don't give a fuck about his voice actor or having fun scenes. They want to kill off every sign of the old movies to make sure the brainwashing is complete.

Then you'll still have faggots defending them to be contrarian

>He would have just told Poe the plan, and then you never get the shitty Casino plot

that would be great

>Leia should have died too

earlier, in space

i am

Nope. None of that is canon. Stay assblasted, retard

Idiot. Thanks to the improved casting choice we now have an ENTIRE generation of young girls who will grow up with charismatic, intelligent Holdo as their role model. This is powerful. Brave.

Voice actor died. That's why they only had him say a few lines and it still sounded like shit.
Plus, who gives a fuck about Admiral Ackbar?

>Ackbar
>HIMself
Well there's your problem user

>Even though it would have carried over a lot more emotional resonance if it had been Ackbar who had sacrificed himself for the Resistance?

Ackbar would've given his crew enough information to prevent a mutiny.

woman who pretend to like star wars dont even know who ackbar is
i bet i he was actually mention as the character to carry on the plan
but the force is female

>You can't win.

Winning is easy if you have a good idea. TLJ has no good ideas.

>takes the New Order across the galaxy
>opens coms to them before ramming them
>"It was a trap!"

He could have gone "it's a trap!" It would've been epic xD

movie was made by the women for the women, so it's only right that everything about the war aspect makes no sense and is horseshit

>none of that is canon

You decide that shit now? lol You weren't even born then you fucking loser.

I appreciate them showing once again that a bridge exposed via big windows to the outside is a bad idea, just as the Executor showed thirty years earlier. But that brings up the question: why are they still doing that? Put the CIC in the middle of the ship like BSG.

Moreover, they missed an opportunity for him to say "Allahu Ackbar" just before the suicide attack

I made the mistake of discussing this movie with a feminist coworker of mine
We both hate the movie for being a soulless corporate piece of shit, yet she praises Holdo and Rose as being great characters and additions to the story. Is feminism a mental illness? How does she do mental backflips and not realize that she's being pandered to by the same Disney she calls a corporate mess?

I hate Holdo, but Ackbar was always a non character, a meme if you will. It would only have made a difference to fanboys.

ackbar was cool but he had no personality let alone any character development to speak of

they had 1 fucking job, ONE

Boys play war games.
Every male has 10,000 hours of tactics under their belt.

Women dont. They have never touched a war game. They are wholy uninterested in tactics.

Women wrote Nu Wars. They literally dont know why Haldo is so fucking retarded.
