The Last Straw

Saw  The Last Jedi, with little enthusiasm. Much smaller canvases are much better at doing the epic thing - Breaking Bad, say. I can see the difficulty of having a true epic sweep, which really involves a final gotterdammerung (sp), in a series that you can't afford to let ever come to an end, but still...

Not a good outing for Newton's laws of motion, either.  The rebel ships were being chased by bad guy warships, and the problem was said to be that the rebs were running out of fuel; which in space must surely mean that they were steadily accelerating, as they'd need almost no fuel to maintain a constant speed.
And what are the chances that their rate of acceleration would be identical to the pursuing warship, neither gaining not losing? 
and the following problem, that the rebel ship shed a number of transports to land on a small planet (well, earthsized, by the gravity) that would have had to expend enormous amounts of fuel to come to a stop, being as what they were travelling at the speed of the mothership. 

 Their fighters engaged with the warships at distances that would have been regarded as uncomfortably close at the time of Trafalgar.

And the rebel cruiser appeared to have shields, while the bombs that were dropped on the Bad Dreadnaught just dropped straight on without impediment.

Bah, humbug, to be seasonal.
