Why is Holdo bad?
Ultimately, the tragedy of Holdo is that the audience was denied the chance to really get to know her before she died. We didn’t get to see how much she and Leia adored each other until minutes before her death, or how much she really cared about the Resistance until she was seconds away from dying.
Why did Admiral Holdo stay behind?
First off, the main reason is that Holdo wasn’t suppose to ram the incoming ships, she was suppose to delay them for as long as possible while the shuttles escaped under cloak. She just turned and rammed them when the cloak was broken after DJ spilled the beans about the plan.
What is Holdo maneuver?
The Holdo maneuver was a suicidal tactic akin to ramming named after Resistance Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. One year after the Battle of Crait, Beaumont Kin proposed to use the Holdo maneuver against the Sith Eternal’s Final Order fleet, but the former stormtrooper Finn dismissed it as a “one-in-a-million” shot.
Does Holdo maneuver make sense?
It makes no sense because NONE OF THE COMBAT IN STAR WARS MAKES ANY SENSE.

What’s a Holdo maneuver?
Was general Holdo really that bad?
No, Holdo wasn’t anywhere near that bad. And any leader who sacrificed herself for her troops as she did deserves respect. But she was still, during the Resistance fleet’s run to Crait, a bad leader. As I watched the Resistance fleet running, and dying, I was reminded of a quote from Black Hawk Down.
What did Holdo do to the first order?
Holdo decided to run from the First Order, sacrificing smaller ships and a few lives, until her cruiser was close enough to the planet Crait to use nearly-invisible transports to evacuate what was left of the Resistance. That’s not a terrible plan, and seemed to be the only option she really had.
What kind of leader do soldiers respect?
Soldiers will respect a leader who makes honest mistakes and owns up to them, as long as he/she cares for and respects their troops. But a leader who refuses to share critical information with subordinates while simultaneously appearing to freeze under stress, like Holdo, won’t be followed or respected.
How does military leadership look like?
Many viewers, and undoubtedly almost everyone who made The Last Jedi, think military leadership is how movies usually depict it: overbearing, egotistical (male) brutes getting their way by treating everyone below them like crap. But despite what the typical civilian might think, leadership isn’t simply screaming, cursing and berating subordinates.
