Every time I think about TLJ I can't get over the ridiculousness of the slow speed chase. It was just such lazy writing as a plot device. Last weekend I was going through old shows on my computer and decided to rewatch a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica (2004).
That whole first season was about running from an enemy who shouldn't be able to track you through hyperspace, but can. Almost the exact same plot device but BSG leaned into it, created great storylines about infiltrators, ghost ships, missed jumps splitting up the fleet.. so many different ways to go about the frantic chase.
TLJ seemed like the writers (or Rian) just didn't want to put the effort into making it dynamic. I hadn't watched BSG in like 10 years so it wasn't fresh, but man did it ever depress me to see how much more could have been done with that situation. The only part of that whole piece of the movie I enjoyed was the Laura Dern maneuver.
