Anyway, I remember leaving the theater and overhearing a considerable amount of people (even the people who I went to watch it with) asking “why didn’t she simply lightspeed herself into the FO before? Or why have they never done that before? It’s so useful and overpowered…”
I assume the reason is because the Rebels/Resistance does not have enough money to use expensive ships that way. And to ask why the Empire/FO did not is to ask why Germany did not (or did they not?) but instead Germany spent time and money creating impractically large tanks/cannons (like the Panzer VIII Maus).
