…So, in the original Star Wars, Luke uses the Force to thread the needle and destroy the mighty Death Star with a proton torpedo. Rebellion saved. Some of the group made it back. And he had some timely help from an every-man in Solo.
Forty years later, that sort of reluctant hero is somehow “toxic” and wrong. Now, goofballs like Paul Kemp and the other hijackers think that it’s heroic to sacrifice yourself by crashing your ship into another using your hyperspace drive.
To those idiots: if that’s how it’s done, what was to stop the Empire from using its vast resources to program the hyperspace-jumps of empty hulks through Rebel ships…packed with rebels? Or for the Rebellion to program an empty X-Wing or Y-Wing to jump through the exhaust port of the Death Star, packed with proton torpedoes for good measure? It’s that sort of story-destroying stupidity that puts The Last Jedi low on my list of Star Wars films. All the other fun-killing, 2017 SJW moralizing that went with it was the stale bread around the excrement-filled sandwich.
