    Look, Raddus is clearly the military genius that Ackbar could only dream of being. But Ackbar very quickly course-corrected after the trap was sprung, and ultimately led a successful assault. That was quick thinking, and a mark of good leadership. Clearly he learned from Master Raddus.

    I think it's more likely that Ackbar learned how to give Republican Baths to the enemies of the Rebellion. The clues are all there. They tell us explicitly in Rogue One how there used to be a lot more radical factions. They didn't all become bitter-enders like Saw Guerrera. A few of them reformed. They would have gotten high ranks to placate them and facilitate integration. It's all so very clear.

    Given that Ackbar is the one commanding the fleet that evacuates Yavin - with the evacuation process beginning immediately after the ceremony (Princess Leia comic) it's far more likely that Ackbar joined the Rebellion alongside Raddus (probably as one of Raddus's immediate subordinates.)

    We know Ackbar has a long command history, too - he was commanding Mon Cal forces during the Clone Wars (TCW) albeit as a Captain rather than an Admiral - during the Separatist invasion of Mon Cala.

    On the way home late last night, I did a double take as I passed by the "RADIUS" condo building.

    Raddus owns that building, and the minion who spelled his name wrong is going to catch some Mon Cal heat.

    8-3. Don’t like that he’s pitted against Jyn, but...Raddus.

    Magic Mirror on the wall, who's the Raddus of them all?

    It's now.... Jyn Erso 11 - 7 Raddus

    Looks like Jyn is going to get it. But at least Raddus is going out fighting.

    I find their lack of faith in Raddus disturbing.

    Half of them don't even know who Raddus is. And these same people are allowed to operate machinery?

    Raddus can show you the world.

    And the galaxy.
    And the universe.
    And all the other universes.

    Raddus may have lost to Jyn, but we all know it was Raddus himself who, in a selfless act of gratitude, was responsible for the deciding votes.

    Raddus doesn't have an easy chair, he does everything the hard way.

    There's the easy way, the hard way, and the Raddus Way.

    This is true. Those words are interchangeable which is why the next film is about how Luke Skywalker is A New Raddus. Leia immediately leaves Raddus and goes looking for what? A New Raddus. Because rebellions are built on Raddus.
