They're ocean people. It stands to reason they have a strong naval tradition, so they have a stock of very capable aeronautical officers.

They're clearly amphibious, hence admiral ackbar not being in a fish tank on home one.

the logical assumption would be that mon calimari were early backers of the rebellion, and thus have simply been there long enough to rank up.

They were jews who were into building giant cruise liner spaceships to get credits from rich galactic fucks. Their infrastructure to build these craft were useful in converting to a wartime cruiser production, and their experience in navigation gave them advantageous positions in the Rebel Alliance because of this. Basically, they were often admirals because they had the ships and the experience. Most of the Rebel Generals were defected Imperial officers, too (experience).
>>
>>81271327
The planet had a handful of small islands constituting it's total landmass. Most of the population lives under water, but there are floating cities, and cities build on the islands.

They were famous ship builders in the galaxy, but instead of warships they were more like luxury liners. When they joined the rebellion they brought their fleet and shipyards to the other side which was a huge step towards legitimizing the rebellion as a military threat. The mon calamari leveraged that into influence in the political machine and navy of the rebellion.
Ackbar was also a former servant of Tarkin so he had a lot of insight on imperial military doctrine from the guy who helped to define most of it.
That's all in the old EU anyways, who the fuck knows anymore.

I don't really care about some gay autistic extended universe explanation. I guess I'm more questioning the filmmakers' decision to copy Return of the Jedi. If you're going to do the same thing, why not literally bring Admiral Ackbar back? Rogue One only takes place like 4 years before ROTJ. But why not do something new anyway, a different species at least? It seems like they did the worst possible thing. I can't even think of another movie to compare it to because it's so retarded.

But Anon, there aren't so many species in the rebellion. It's only humans, Chewbacca and in RotJ there are Sullustans and MonCals.
What other Race could be there supporting the Rebel Fleet?
The Rebellion is as much a human privilege organisation as the empire. This is just about leaders of core planets like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa losing power after the rise of palpatine. They don't care for muh aliens.
It makes complete sense to have another Mon Calamari being in charge on a Mon Calamari Cruiser (which is pretty much the only kind lf big cruiser the rebellion has had)

The story takes place in a familiar universe where it is already known
You'd only be a speshul snowflake by not going with calamari ships for bigger ships for the rebels, and you'd be a speshul princess snowflake by going a step further and have a non calamari in a calamari vessel during a rebel fight.

They didn't need to use tie fighters either.
It would be retarded and not make any sense in the setting for the empire not to use tie fighters though.

It is autistic. If instead of "Admiral Raddus" it was a character of another species, the only people who would've had a problem with it would've been autistic faggots like you.

OT names like "Greedo" sound toned down.

And this shows what Lucas always thought of these films. There was no great original vision, there was no epic mythos, the hero's journey was never more than a framing device and the intelligence in these movies was aimed at children.

Wrong.

I'll have to explain the comment.

Ewoks are native to 1 moon in the galaxy.
It would be peculiar to see them anywhere else. Not impossible, but peculiar.

During the time that rogue one and OT takes place the mon calamaris are rebels, so the rebels have their ships on their side. Ships made and flown by mon calamaris.
Their ships are spaceships, so it isn't really a stretch to see them pretty much anywhere in space.
Unlike ewoks.

Which means your comparison with ewoks in Episode 1 and mon calamaris in rogue one is shit.
>>
>>81273447
Yes, they were. They crated the capital ships the Rebels use and have a strong naval tradtition. That was answered almost immediately. If your follow up is "why" then the answer is that everything in the Star Wars universe is stupid like that.

No, but at the same time, it wouldn't have had as strong a connection to the franchise.

You can cut out a lot of iconic Star Wars stuff out of any given Star Wars film. But you have to include some amount of obviously Star Wars shit. A couple aliens, a ship from the previous movies here and there, some references to Jedi and the force, droids, etc.

It's what makes the movie feel like it takes place in the Star Wars universe. People aren't saying that everything has to be referenced, but there's certainly no point in getting upset about references to shit we already knows exists and is iconic to the franchise showing up in the movies in a way that makes sense.

Even casuals would notice that Ewoks on Naboo makes no sense as the entire point of the race in the movie from a simple plot perspective is that they were savages removed from the rest of the society on their little moon. That/s not "lore". That's just common sense.
>>

iirc they were always fighting with the squids and at the end of every conflict the mon calamaris always cucked the poor Quarrens in any possible way, they were like Itchy and Scratchy. The quarrens also tried to ask help to the Empire but were then BTFO by a coalition of Mon Calamaris and Rebels. Or maybe it was during the Clone Wars? Anyway the Quarrens are a bunch of losers

>why not literally bring Admiral Ackbar back?

Edwards says in one of the blu-ray extras that he wanted to use Ackbar but he was just in The Force Awakens so he felt like they couldn't use him again and created Raddus who is basically notAckbar.

>I don't really care about some gay autistic extended universe explanation.
then why are you here, this is autism incarnate.

>I guess I'm more questioning the filmmakers' decision to copy Return of the Jedi.
because nostalgiabucks and a serious lack of creativity in nu-lucasfilm. even when george had callbacks, they served a purpose besides nostalgia.

pic related. They intentionally tried to recreate the aesthetics of 2001 and others. Especially with the fonts and warning symbols.

I really don't get it. How can you be as autistic as OP and either think that using an already established alien race in a way that makes complete sense and is 100% coherent with what we see in the other movies is uncreative and dumb fanservice because he needs some new cool ayyyys or acting like a plain retard thinking he is trolling somehow?
>>
>>81273488
not the same anon you replied to, but my autism already flared up at U-Wings and TIE-Strikers showing up in this movie.
They never show up again in Ep IV-VI. The explanation for this is, of course, that the rebellion only had like 2 U-Wings that both got shot down and that the Empire never had the need to deploy TIEs that could fly within an atmosphere again (until they do in TFA).
>>
>>81276392
When I saw them, I was really baffled at how big Ponda's head was. I don't remember it being that way in Ep IV.
>>81276474
Sticks out like a sore thumb - adds nothing to the story. Just like Artoo and Threepio having two lines on Yavin IV.

Agreed, if they need any cinematic universe, it should be a 2001 space odyssey universe

better question is why ackbar looks like hes been cooked and this dood is uncooked, what's up with that?

You sound like an angry, fat teenager.
But anyway, the technology in the star wars movies is stagnant, it hasn't progressed much in a long time. it being a prequel it had to be consistent with the movies after it, so going all out with entirely new ships was out of the question.
>>
>>81271913
For some reason "ship" in space is treated like "ship" in the ocean

For example, Star Destroyers are considered part of the "Imperial Navy"

I don't know how or why they camr to the conclusion that spacecraft should be treated like watercraft, and not like aircraft, or their own separate thing entirely
>>
>>81289853
Also this is why they have the "star" prefix

It's not literally "Star Destroyer, it's "Star" Destroyer, as in like a naval destroyer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer
>>
>>81289853
>For some reason
because it's the best analogue. it predates star wars by, idk, probably close to a century. blue water seafaring is essentially casting yourself out into a vast environment that is completely uninhabitable. you have to bring with you everything you need for as long as you will be on the voyage. once you're out in the open ocean, YOU'RE STUCK AND THE SHIP IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING TO YOU. there is no taking a break, there is no time when your life isn't tied directly to the functioning of the vessel that houses you. that's why traditionally naval discipline was extremely strict, and even brutal.

the same conditions apply to space, only more so. aircraft don't have the same history -scores of people never lived for months at a time in flying aircraft

There's something fishy going on here.

>>81274291
Then explain the bounty hunters Vader hired to catch Han Solo, and why he sold him to the hutts. Hard mode: do it without using EU non-canon bullshit.

You can hate Untermenschen and still hire Niggers and Ottomans to fight for you.
Look that shit up, it is that simple.
