Admiral Ackbar didn't know it was a trap until he was already in it. Moron.
And then he couldn't escape, because the Death Star was on one side and the Imperial Fleet was on the other, and apparently space is one-dimensional instead of three.
Furthermore, he took the entire fucking Rebel Fleet into danger, when the mission actually called for a small number of fighters (as per fucking usual) to attack the Death Star. What do the cruisers do? The cruisers "create a perimeter". How the fuck does that help? Rebel fighters are hyperspace capable, you're just bringing expensive assets into Death Star range for no fucking reason.
And don't get me started on how Admiral Ackbar approves Lando Calrissian's plan to fly into the Death Star in a fucking freighter. Hey, we're going to be maneuvering through tight passageways at high speed. Shall we use X-Wings? A-Wings? No, how about a fucking freighter that's six inches narrower than the passage it has to fit down?
What I'm saying is that if Trump had been there instead of Admiral Ackbar, the whole thing would have gone a whole lot more smoothly. And if Trump had been there instead of Darth Vader, the Empire wouldn't be falling to a bunch of fucking Ewoks, I can tell you that.

It's still amazing to me how episode 1 ended up worse than Jedi.
