I don’t fully understand space technology in Star Wars universe, but if the Rebels need to be able to send out a distress call but can’t until they get to the not so hidden base how can Finn and Poe communicate via ship to ship while Finn is elsewhere in the galaxy. Furthermore, why didn’t the Rebels escape small group by small group on the ship Finn and Rose take.
Or why didn’t Maz send help?
This film should be better.
Maybe the requirements for a general distress call to the outer rim is different than a specific point to point communication?
Finn and Rose’s ship looked awfully small to be cramming people into.
Maz looked like she had problems of her own, and she’s not part of the Resistance, so even if she knew who to contact, would they listen to her?
