So it's no longer necessary to bomb the dreadnaught as part of their retreat. So Leia opts not to commit more forces against what is now a target of opportunity. To save the bomber wing for some future strategic operation. Seems legit - for military thinking in a Star Wars movie, at least.  Sounds about right. Yes, but their leadership is all jacked up. Snoke's dead, presumably leaving Red and Hux in charge. And they hate each other. That should count for something. Cue the internecine plotting and requisite Force-choking of lackeys and apparatchiks... No assets? They have General Leia Organa, dashing space pilot Poe, who just learned a valuable life lesson about leadership, Finn and Rose, who learned their own important lessons about a) when to fight and b) what to fight for, an adorable robot (or two or three), and Rey the last living Jedi Knight -- whose frighteningly strong in the Force. And they've got the now even-bigger myth of Luke Skywalker on their side. Perhaps literally, because the odds he pops up as a Force ghost capable of affecting the material world are pretty good. They'll do fine. I mean, the film does tell us "(They) are the spark, that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down.”. Using those exact words. Besides, it's not like things were looking good at the end of ESB...</blockquote>
