      False. The combined arms attack on the Imperial archives at Scarif was by far the most operationally and tactically advanced assault in Star Wars movie history. Perfect cooperation between conventional and unconventional forces as well as fleet and ground forces.

      Bah! They failed to plan for extraction from the zone, there were severe failures in S6 coordination. Their SpecOps team was a total loss. They took heavy strategic losses, and had to make a fighting withdrawal and almost lost their objective. They won in spite of themselves.

      It was a suicide mission for nearly everyone involved and they knew that, SOF especially. Mission wasn’t even approved so no exfil or fires coordination with fleet was possible. Trading a SOF team and a few capital ships for the only chance of winning the war was worth it.

      The only thing that saved them was Admiral Raddus ramming a Star Destroyer that had lost power into the fortifications. Proper planning, or maybe directing fire initially on the harbor fortifications before they pulled up the chain and they wouldn't have been in that mess.

      The operation was a success, but the entire planet died.

          The entire planet was an Empire base. The Empire destroyed it. Don’t see how the Rebels can be blamed for the Empire knowingly killing their own people.

          If it was a suicide mission from the start, then they had to have known that's what would happen. The planet was an acceptable loss. Let's not sugar-coat what went down.

          We had to destroy the planet to save it.
