In Restructured as it stands, Finn and Rey know where the Resistance base is located, but go to Maz’s castle anyway. Han just says, “If you want to get BB8 to the Resistance, Maz Kanata is our best bet.” And then he asks her to get the droid to Leia. But Maz tells him to do it himself, catching him in trying to pass the back and implying he could have done it himself.
Eh… I guess that makes enough sense.
