Ah yes the novelisation which is required reading to ensure that all Rian's little plot bloopers can be retroactively Jedi hand waved away... I love it when films aren't self contained and need supplementary reading to be understood.I can't believe this recent string of posts criticizing TLJ got started based on . . .
. . . yet another ******* internet video. Can we please start recognizing that the vast majority of these videos are created and narrated by idiots? Please!? It would save a lot of time in this thread.
Correct.
Correct.
The Resistance had made a quick hyperspace calculation to a rendezvous point. Crait was NOT that rendezvous point. It happened to be the closest old Rebel base nearby.
But, since I don't have my own YouTube videos, I know that my word isn't going to be convincing enough. So, here's two photos from the TLJ novelization. I have spotlighted the relevant parts to this discussion to make it easier.

Leia's dialogue at the end there is exactly how she phrases it in the movie: to find a new base.
Any other poorly-founded criticism from some YouTube genius I can address now? Or, should I just wait until the next inevitable one gets posted where bad assumptions are made and actual movie context is distorted?
I'm enjoying Khev's heel turn... I hope it lasts lol but I fear the pull of the cinematic ST conclusion will be too much for him ... At least by the first trailer drop.
