No, but you did confirm yourself as a star wars geek for writing that.
I admittedly am a geek. While reading some uber geek criticisms of the movie the other week after watching it, the super geeks had two good points that I hadn't thought of.
1. Like legion mentioned, It would have been best for leia to drive the good guy ship into the bad guy ship herself, yet they didn't know she was going to die at the time, so that wasn't a possibility , so they had the hunger games girl do it as originally intended. Even so, it would have been better for Admiral Ackbar to do it 1000x than needlessly inserting/killing off a new character
2. Starships running out of fuel and slowing down. Everyone in geekworld was busting on the ships losing momentum after running empty on fuel, yet one person pointed out that as long as the engines were on, the ships were constantly accelerating, and when one would run out of fuel , it would cease to accelerate as the bad guy ship continued to accelerate behind it.
I had forgotten that simple physics tidbit, but I don't think the story writers were aware of it either. They get off the hook by serendipity. Still lazy story line for this caliber movie with several other BIG oversights that makes chase scene lazy.
Thats all I have energy to type.
