Why did the ships need escorts anyway? they used that big Ion cannon to disable the ships. If the X-wings are so powerful against the walkers then it feels stupid that they are just used for escort. Time was of essence because the walkers just crushed their defenses. Also, didnt Luke jump into a X-wing after he used a snowspeeder? So there were at least one left after the battle. Read about the new AT-AT and apparently it seems to be that this a troop transport version of the AT-AT so thats why it is different. I guess that's why it doesnt need firepower and armor. So you mean to tell me that the pilot never switched clothes and no one could still recognize him? He looks exactly like when he left them? Well, I guess Scariff was just their base for storing information, not reading it.

Wow, so because I don't praise the movie like everyone else im a troll or a stupid person? It seems you can't let the movie take criticism. What's wrong with x-wings destroying the AT-AT's like that is because in The empire strikes back they couldnt destroy the walkers like that. They had to use cables instead. In Rogue one they shot like 5 blaster shots instead, very anticlimax. If it is the difference in ships then it just show how stupid the rebels are. They had x-wings escorting the ships that escaped the attack. Just take them and destroy the walkers in like 5 seconds like they did in Rogue one and then escape. The storm troopers were really bad and if you dont believe me. That imperial pilot that deserted never hid his face and no one recognized him. And when there is a huge attack on their base and they see a guy dressed like a rebel tinkering with the equipment, should we point our guns at him? NO! lets ask him what he is doing and if he is a rebel he will say that. Every imperial guy we see have uniforms that looks nothing like what the rebels have. So why is it so hard for them to know who are the rebels in their own base?

He is in three scenes which are maybe 5 minutes in total.

Saw it Yesterday and I was kind of disappointed with it. The only good change is that the weakness of the death star was intented. Vader's last scene was kind of amazing too. So many other parts were stupid tho. X-wing destroying AT-AT's from left to right, Darth Vader doing stupid gestures with his hand, that tentacle monster Saw had, Storm troopers being worse than ever etc. I can go on but there were a lot of this in the movie and it really bugged me.
