Okay wait, why is this not a risk for the Resistance cruiser?

It is a risk for the resistance cruiser and feeds Poe’s need to start a mutiny. The audience is smart enough to grapple with their own ideas of perceived danger/issues.

More than Tie Fighters being the issue, why didn’t the 1st order jump ahead of the resistance vessels and tractor them?

This idea of mine has logical holes of its own, just as the Asteroid chase did in Empire, but the implementation of the chase as it is now wreaks of being a mcguffen and bad writing.
