Why do you hate this character?
• non-communication results in unnecessary problems for our protagonists.
• night dress in a military organization.
• her kamikaze move literally breaks the logic of the whole franchise.
Holdo is only in the movie to move Poe's character arc forward. She has no real affect on the story other than that. He learns to think of the bigger picture because of her.
I can't tell if Rian intended to do that or not?
>her kamikaze move literally breaks the logic of the whole franchise.
Daily reminder that 'the holdo maneuver' is 'one in a million' and she was really trying to escape and she fucked up
Tell me about the tiara, why does she wear it?
Holdo was tall, and had blue eyes and light-colored skin. In her youth, Holdo rebelled against the undemonstrative exterior of her homeworld's culture and expressed herself by dyeing her hair vibrant colors, wearing vibrantly colored clothing, and going on daring escapades. In spite of that, Holdo shared the core values of Gatalenta: she believed in the importance of joy, love and spiritual harmony, showed great interest in esoteric practices of her planet, like meditation and astrology, and she was knowledgeable of the galaxy.[1] She also had a penchant for going barefoot.[4] Organa found Holdo insightful and charming, but also irritating at times.[1]
Holdo had a quirky personality, often getting distracted, speaking in riddles and metaphors with a monotone/singsong voice, and being eccentric. She was by no means stupid, however, and her oddball persona hid a keen intellect. She was not afraid of death, and dreamed of dangerous adventures "to get more comfortable with the nearness and inevitability" of it. Holdo was a determined and patriotic person, able to react to changing circumstances and ready to sacrifice herself for the cause. As a commander she had a cool head for the greater strategy, and expected her orders to be executed precisely, as shown during her time in command of the Raddus.[3] Holdo was known to carry a Defender-5 sporting blaster, which was favored by many nobles on her homeworld.[6] According to Dameron, Holdo was recognized within the Resistance as a great strategic mind due to her actions at the Battle of Chyron Belt[3] and was admired even by Admiral Ackbar.[16]
Despite having an antagonistic relationship with Dameron, Holdo respected him, telling Organa that Dameron was a troublemaker after his mutiny but that she liked him.[3]
>Conflict centering around this character only exists because she refuses to talk to people
>Senior military commander has dyed hair and is wearing a dress in a military situation
>Moral of the story is to blindly question authority
>In a meta sense, the moral is to not question your female superiors because they are always right
I know I risk sounding like a Yas Forumstard when I say this but this character feels like a representation of what a female liberal thinks leadership is. "Just shut up and follow orders, I'm in charge!". Leaders exist to help their subordinates succeed and guide them. The shittiest leaders in history were always the ones who bark orders. I would not be surprised if that whole subplot was pushed by Kathleen Kennedy.
Because it’s a woman.
She made bad decisions and behaved badly, while being lavished with praise for it.
>clothes don’t like like Star Wars clothes
>hair doesn’t look like Star Wars hair or known alien phenotypes
>old
What’s to like
I thought she was hot with that purple hair, like some mom whose kids all left the nest so she dyed her hair to "get wild." Absolutely would with no fucking regrets.
Because I want to have sex with her.
I don't. I hate rey. Holdo is.ok on my book.
>Daily reminder that 'the holdo maneuver' is 'one in a million' and she was really trying to escape and she fucked up
I don't buy that, that's just RotS trying to clean up the mess with one line.
why do you like this character?
She just looks like a cunt, I mean the actress.
No matter what role she is playing I am thinking she is some man hating dike, add purple hair and you are full on femnazi mode.
>only exists because she refuses to talk to people
It's called "need to know" and it's how, y'know, real militaries operate.
A high ranking officer on the very fucking ship you're gonna ram into the fleet "needs to know"
Any military officer worth their brass knows that you keep your senior leaders in the know on your plans. Trying to do everything herself is some dumb shit a new officer would pull. Her not even giving Poe a reassurance that she had control of the situation is amateur shit.
The fact it got so bad that there was a fucking mutiny by her direct subordinate shows that she had no grasp of the severity of the situation and the morale of her crew.
textbook example of a facist, but for some reason championed by the writing.
It is amazing how absolutely stupid people like you are becoming. You actually believe what you wrote here is the correct answer in regards to real leadership.
The rope will find you soon
cause she's a girl lmao
fuck women
Old tits
>Trying to do everything herself is some dumb shit a new officer would pull
Didn't Hitler make himself the top 5 layers in his country's chain of command?
i hate women in positions of power generally but in movies its even worse, its entertainment no propaganda, women should just be sexy decorations to the male orientated story
Because shes a cunt
Which is weird because I usually love Laura Dern's roles
"The Rope" you speak of is, historically, used by the stupidest, urged on by the meanest and most sociopathic from safety, and used against people who aren't stupid.
Try to keep track of your position and it's relevance.
And look at where he is now
facism is ok if it’s a woman
>character?
I can tell you think you aren't stupid. Just telling you that you're wrong.
That's good then, according to his own logic he's safe.
>can build huge incredibly advanced spaceships that traverse the galaxy
>can't install a simple autopilot on the ships
Why does someone always have to stay on the ship and sacrifice themselves? Star Trek is guilty of this as well.
>It is amazing how absolutely stupid people like you are becoming
based tard user. best irony
I just wanna sex her
I'm not sure I do. When it was time for a two minutes' shitshow on Yas Forums (which it frequently was) I used to be in there loyally screeching about the threat to masculinity, hatred of white* men but at some stage after being separated from the internet for just two weeks it became clear to me how little this shit matters. It's a shameful way for grown men to behave.
* Apparently includes castizos these days. Or not, when you're Yas Forums's type of Star Wars autist it's probably important to feel like you can both extend and withdraw an honorary white race membership
Can't say I do, not enough there to feel that strongly about. Just another poorly written non-character who is introduced as being a kind of big deal, then vanishes/dies a few scenes later with little to no impact. Many such cases.
not hot enough
Shes the greatest star wars character ever
The blue check marks told me so
Who is she again
>it's
Calm down there hangman, this ain't the gallows
Female, nuff said
No character has ever shoved you out of a universe so violently as Holdo. She completely shattered all sense of immersion in the film, which for me was a first watching Star Wars. It's not necessarily a bad thing to link real-world issues to the Star Wars universe, but she basically felt like spending an hour on Twitter in film character form.
Watching gender politics unfold in a Star Wars film was just bizarre.
>don't question authorities
>trust and follow them blindly
>they know better and you don't
No character has ever shoved you out of a universe so violently as Akbar. He completely shattered all sense of immersion in the film, which for me was a first watching Star Wars. It's not necessarily a bad thing to link real-world issues to the Star Wars universe, but he basically felt like spending an hour on Yas Forums in film character form.
Watching meme politics unfold in a Star Wars film was just bizarre.
I'm actually in a military and a Navy to boot. Here's how she's full of shit.
It's all about Chain of Command. If an officer tells an enlisted to do something, the enlisted does it, but bitches, complains, and does the shittiest job possible. Why? Because that officer while "superior" bypassed the CoC. The proper way to get someone to do something is to have their direct superior tell them to do it. If some rando superior tells you to do something, you do it, but shittily because they just cut everyone above out of the loop and that often brings shit down on your head. The right way is for an officer to tell an officer until a low enough officer tells a high enough NCO that brings it all the way down to you. I've seen random NCOs get mad when an officer tries to fuck with lower enlisted.
All that to say, Poe is Holdo's direct subordinate. All what I've described is the relation between command staff and floor moppers. Poe was Leia's 2IC. Holdo treated him like he was a fucking bottom berth sailor. Everything I described about the distance between officers and enlisted DOES NOT APPLY to two officers with a difference of a single rank.
It's like telling someone to go get food at the store then not telling them what to buy and then getting mad they didn't get what you wanted.
That's Holdo.
>I'm actually in a military and a Navy to boot.
then you're better placed than most to recognize there'll always be the subtle differences between a real naval service and an adolescent fantasy one, sailor
If I don't complain about everything, including fantasy, then I am a piss poor sailor. We complain about going to Hawaii too much.
incel detected
have sex, that's an order
>If I don't complain about everything, including fantasy, then I am a piss poor sailor.
that so? I stand corrected
Honestly, lol.
The military is all about fucking. I mean we're getting fucked by the government so why not pass it on. I knew a guy in the Army and he said that in his battalion, if they found out you were a virgin, they'd literally tie you down and hire a hooker.
That's the Army. In the Navy, we don't need such barbarity. There's a reason why Thailand and Singapore are ports of call. 7th Fleet loves bumping uglies.
You aren't truly in the Navy until you're laying on a beach in Hawaii drinking a beer and complaining about it. While having 1000 bucks in cash in your pocket while also still getting your regular salary.
Honestly, the next best Navy commercial should be "Like playing video games and getting paid for it? Like having sex but not commitment? Join the fucking Navy and do that all over the world!" Either you're on ship and dodging responsibility to play video games or you're in port and getting paid to fuck hookers.
>we fixed the franchise with a throwaway line so there stop complaining
Keeping everyone confused and fearful is how mutiny happens
see how well that worked out for him?
>used against people who arent stupid
Criminals, historically, have been at the low end of intelligence. Especially the ones who get caught and hanged.
I kinda like Laura Dern. She was in some movie where she's in bed with this kid and he starts fingering her and instead of stopping him she gets into it and has an orgasm. Shit was scorching hot. I'll show myself out.
Akbar existed before Yas Forums
Nonsense. If the issue is maneuverability, light speed torpedoes solve that. Capital ships would be a thing of the past, there would be nothing but deep strike missile boats, just as no navy in the modern world fields battleships any more.
That's bullshit. Even the FO saw what was happening and was freaked out. They would not react like that to a one in a million maneuver. I don't know how the odds of pointing your ship at another ship are such low odds. Abram should have done a better job damaging controlling that
The character is dumb, because the whole point is that she's right and Poe should have respected her judgment, but then she just lets him off scot free at the end. Either she should have been wrong, or Poe should have got executed by firing squad. Then it would have made sense.
Wait that's Elle from Jurassic Park? Dang the wall really hit her hard huh..goes from booty shorts to long ass sheets
