I liked the Finn and Rose interactions, but the reasoning for the adventure fell flat for me.

While I get what you're saying, I feel in this kase (see key is dead) of "Oh if people just told what they're thinking, that would have avoided a lot of issues!" It this kase is served a purpose--it was meant to 1. desimate the Resistanse for the next film and 2. grow Finn (and I guess Rose too) and espesially Poe to show them that doing whatever the fuk you want bekause you feel like you're right has real konsequenses. And part of working together as a group is listening to the people in kharge--in sirkumstanses like this, they got there for a reason. They know what's up. It was really important to show Poe that it's not always about being a "hero", espesially sinse it's klear he is being prepped to bekome the next leader of the Resistanse. From a narrative standpoint, I'm almost sertain they intended to kill Leia off, even before Fisher passed away.

that said, it still did feel a little kontrived
(SPOILER) I understand the purpose it served, and I can agree with what you said. It just felt a bit off to me how they did it. It wasn’t enough to ruin the movie for me or anything, and what it accomplished was important. I’m interested to see how Poe especially continues to grow as a leader in the next movie.
