The charges against him would have been wide ranging
Disrespecting a senior officer
Mutiny
unlawful confinement
Willful disobeying of an order from a superior x 2
Misuse of Resistance assets
Negligence causing death
Conduct unbecoming an officer
Sedition
He should have been hung or shot or flung out of an airlock, and no his actions in the end of the movie don't absolve him of his actions, and they probably should have pinned a medal on him, and then shot him out a torpedo tube.
Oh and some star wars fans did put him on trial and its really well done
That is an hour long....

The Following User Says Thank You to Locke For This Useful Post:
if Poe followed Leia's orders, then the Fulminatrix gets to be part of the slow motion chase and blows the Raddus to dust with its siege cannons.
If Poe followed Purple Hair's orders, there's no guarantee that some of the other officers wouldn't kick off the mutiny. he wasn't the only one that was suspicious of the bizarre lack of apparent plan, which is why he managed to get a bunch of people to...rebel...along with him.
Except that the Fulmanatrix is no faster then the other Star destroyers, even with it seige canons there's no guarantees that he had the range on the guns.
When Poe let Rose and Finn do their plan that failed, they pretty much gave the information to the First Order by trusting the information to whats his face, so they could start blasting transports.
Poe might or might not have done right.
First of all
1) How many people died because of Poe's actions and how many did he save? Even from a straight math point of view over 40 people alone died on the bombers and more on the transports, and they saved what? A dozen people?
2) Second of all, no matter what people think, a Senior Commander doesn't need to share plans with a junior officer unless that junior officer is involved in the plan. There is security to consider, and on top of that, Poe was pretty much done flying for the day, they weren't going to engage the First Order Fleet.
3) By hijacking the ship, Poe delayed the execution of Holdo's plan, if he hadn't delayed it then its more likely that her plan works because the transports hadn't been revealed to the First Order.
He in fact did everything wrong, and flying the ski speeders in an unsuccessful attack and finding a crack in the wall doesn't really redeem him.
Hopefully in the next movie the opening crawl has
Meanwhile Ensign Poe is busy scrubbing toilets on the Millenium Falcon.

I guess he said the right thing? not like he can really relate to what KMT went though. if social media existed during the prequels, probably the worst thing he'd have seen is that his acting sucks and he should find himself a nice place to flip burgers at (I personally don't feel this way as I blame George for the script and direction). but that's a whole lot different than attacking someone's race and gender, even if it's a small but loud minority in either case.
Google Jake Lloyd(young Anakin) if you want to see how badly someone's acting career can be destroyed...
He also has schizophrenia. His life sounds like a perfect storm of awfulness, that arose out of what would have been most kids' dream. The combination of being a celebrity that people recognize on the street and having a mental disease that makes you paranoid would be hell.
Now I find myself at a cross roads "Watch TLJ so I can fully appreciate the Plinkett review" or "Continue living a life where I've never watched TLJ". This is a tough one.
So I watched a minute and 40 seconds of that and it was objectively terrible. Was that a film reviewer who has recently had a stroke but actually wasnt all that good at reviewing movies in the first place?
I'm not watching an hour of a stroke victim trying to parse together something semi-coherent and loosely calling it a 'film review.'

Watch the rest of his reviews to get the history of Plinkett and yes he has a history. In fact the character is one of them most interesting and memorable I've seen recently.
Yeah, his Phantom Menace review was an eye-opener.
Spoiler!
You know you're onto something with real insight when he asks people (@6:50) to describe the personalities of Luke and Han, and then do the same for Qui-Gon and, and Amidala. It's also funny as ####.
I don't think Locke gets that the slurring, low-brow delivery of pointed criticism is Plinkett's whole schtick.

I like his reviews, I just find his attempts at dark off topic comedy are misses more often than hits and he goes on tangents way, way too often.
I wish we could get a heavily edited on topic only video. It’d be less than half as long in some cases.
