Why doesn't the resistance, upon seeing that they can be followed through hyperspace, not simply turn their ships in ten different directions and scatter? They can't follow all of you.
The Luke/Kylo/Rey stuff in the film was good, but everything else needed a big rewrite. Holdo needs to not exist so that Poe can take command after Leia is killed and get a character arc. Finn and Rose need to do something that is connected to either Poe or Rey, not run off on their own into a plot cul de sac. Disney's handling of the sequel trilogy is truly appalling, if they had spent just one year in pre production getting a director and a writer together to write all three films at one time they would have been a thousand times better.
Having Holdo/internal dissent within the rebels (or whatever they were called this time around) could have been interesting. She just had a bad plan, kept it secret from basically everyone else on a flimsy premise and with little explanation, and whatever the hell Poe was going to do wasn't a good plan either.
A rewrite that could have made the film a lot more interesting would be if, instead of the hyperspace tracker being the result of some new technology, it was instead the work of a spy. So Holdo can't tell anyone what's going on, and Poe takes it upon himself to go on a mole hunt (possibly because his friend Finn has been implicated and he wants to clear his name). None of the Star Wars films have ever really dealt with spies, so it would have been a new scenario for the franchise which would also have been nice.
