Considering how beloved Carrie Fisher is, I think it's only right for her to have her last movie.


Fine then don't tease it. One of the valid criticisms is how wishy washy the movie is with stuff like that. Don't kill her and then take it back with hidden force trick just have her not die at all, or have the fortitude to kill her off harshly and suddenly, like real life.

But the audience trusts Ackbar. I think that arc only really works if the audience doesn't trust that the admiral has a plan.

If your droids have personalities, thoughts and feelings you should consider mind-wiping them.

Wasn't it because he had to check while he was asleep and his "defenses" or whatever were down? That's the impression I had.
