General Holdo doesn’t trust him one iota and finds his recklessness to be absurdly dangerous (especially as she doesn’t have the same affinity for him that Leia clearly does). Given everything we have seen thus far, she is absolutely right to do this. [Poe] comes up with a secret plan to stop the tracking beacon, one that’s reckless and dangerous and puts his closest friends in danger... he stages a coup to try and enact his own plan.
Put like this, Poe is lucky that Leia just shot him in the chest and not the balls.
I love that the big bad of Star Wars is now imagined to be a moody, impetuous and entitled young man.
*GESTURES*
embracing our kid-like sensibilities, along with all the sadness and range life has to offer, is maturity itself.
ties in with one of my favourite C.S. Lewis quotes:
When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
Possessing something doesn’t mean you love it.
In fact, that’s not even really love. That’s need. That’s dependency.
