What's wrong with anything? Chewie has his seat where he likes it. He's got his snacks within reach. The butt print is just right for Wookie lumbar support. He can do his thing from where he wants to. Is his ego such that he can't let the new girl fly sometimes? Is the director disrespecting Chewie by having his Mary Sue fly?
He can't really do what ever from that seat. Have you ever noticed that everyone, and I do mean EVERY, that has ever flown that ship has done so from Han's seat?
Well put. If I'm being completely honest, I think Chewie has his spot and is happy with his position as co-pilot. Not to mention that he was there throughout Ep7 and saw that Rey knows almost as much about The Falcon as Han did. The only thing lacking is a bit of practical experience.
In short, while Chewie probably IS a capable pilot and could be the Captain I don't think he wants that job.
I agree. I think Chewie is just content where he is. Loyalty and contentment are fine qualities in a first mate. Trying to take the captain's chair can get you a cannon ball upside the head.
One more thing to mention:
Leia has never seen Rey (we assume) and vice versa, yet, the first time they see each other, back after victory, they embrace and hug. Wtf?!
Bad script? I that excuse covers so many sins.
I wonder how many miles the Falcon has?
7.56 x 10
192 give or take.
Well, they are looking for him. I'm sure 3PO isn't totally in the dark. They just didn't throw him on a ship and say Let's go. The galaxy is looking for bb8 so it's safe to say he assumed well. Besides, he's Poe's little buddy. I'm sure they've crossed paths somehow. The biggest gaff was bb8 not knowing who R2 was. Just how long has he been out?
Agree. BB-8 is Poe's droid. Poe flies for the Resistance. Highly probable that the 2 droids already knew each other. I'm going to view the R2 thing as despite being with the resistance and knowing 3PO, BB probably never came across R2, being that he was under a tarp.
