It’s been half a decade since ‘The Last Jedi,’ but the Holdo maneuver is still getting picked apart

We are now five long years out from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and it remains a hot topic of conversation amongst fans. At this point, it seems like the debate will last forever, with fans having taken firm sides on Rian Johnson’s grumpy hermit Luke Skywalker and his argument that the Force shouldn’t be reserved for a few aristocratic space bloodlines. Above all that, there’s one scene in particular that leaves an itch that still can’t be scratched.

This is, of course, the infamous Holdo Maneuver. Faced with an apparently unwinnable battle against the First Order, Laura Dern’s Admiral Holdo has a stunning final roll of the dice up her sleeve. She turns her cruiser around to face them, fires up her hyperspace drive, and executes a lightspeed kamikaze strike on the First Order fleet.
