Star Wars: 9 Things About The Last Jedi That Make No Sense
5. Most Of The Resistance Fleet Could Have Escaped
A fair portion of The Last Jedi is dedicated to an epic deep-space chase scene. The stakes are high since the First Order has managed to track the Resistance fleet through hyperspace, leaving them with nowhere to run, but this game of cat and mouse is marred by a plothole big enough to swallow Snoke's Star Destroyer.
The details of how the bad guys are able to track the heroes at lightspeed are sketchy at best, but that isn't even the biggest problem here. The First Order has a tracker placed on only one of its ships, yet the rebels fail to use this to their full advantage.
With only one enemy ship capable of following the Resistance navy, most of Leia's forces could have given the bad guys the slip by splitting up, leaving only one vessel in the crosshairs. If all of her secondary crafts had jumped to hyperspace while the tracker was honed in on the flagship, the majority of the fleet could fled.
Meanwhile, the villains also missed opportunities while the chase was in full swing. By warping some of their Star Destroyers ahead of the rebel ships, they could have boxed them in and trapped them, winning the battle quickly and gaining a serious advantage in the war.
