I know Johnson took advice from Carrie regarding jewelry. If he and the costume designer gave Leia the outfits they did because Carrie wanted to look pretty, that's nice, I guess, but it still doesn't justify Holdo.
Did not realize that bit about the little black boy on Canto Bight being Force-clairvoyant. I was sort of assuming the retelling was taking place after news of the battle had already gotten out, but that's cool if it was intentional on their part. It almost makes up for them dropping the Force-sensitive Finn angle...NOT.
Obviously, if they were going to make Poe a full fledged character with an arc and everything, they needed to give him flaws to overcome and an antagonist or whatever, but they needed to be flaws which existed in the pervious film. Based on his interactions with Leia and his pilots in the first film, he can see him as a reckless hotshot, but one who chugs respects women juice. That's why leadership vs. heroism is such a cool idea, especially if Leia is grooming him to be her eventual successor, but it was handled in the worst possible way.
