"Fierce, powerful women" ??? Were we watching the same movie??

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2018)

Awful movie. Trite, badly played humor. Meaningless romp subplot in the middle. The usual "why are they the only ones to survive" moments scattered throughout. Clear "make sure there's enough female pilots" quota.
But what is surely signs of mental projection / Mary-Sueism is all the people raving about how fierce and powerful the female commanders were in this movie. Really?? What movie were you watching??? In the one I saw, the female commanders took a small fleet of 3 cruisers plus support ships and managed to kill everyone except a small number of people who can all fit into the Millennium Falcon. Last time I looked, losing every single ship in your fleet as well as >99% of your personnel was a sign of massive incompetence. Well, I guess it was OK because they looked so regal doing it.
A final note on Carrie Fisher's performance. It was terrible. Yes, it was her last role, and yes, we're all sad she died, but this was terrible. She sleepwalked through the whole thing. No life in her voice, no life in her performance. Looked like your maiden aunt after 3 drinks at a wedding. Just dull.
Should have waited for it to go to video.
