I would still have liked to see the First Order do something other than just follow in the exact same formation. Even if it was spreading out to try and encircle the Resistance, regardless of whether it would work or not.Gene Hendrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935379186790612601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668544726111977766.post-41152699447416778632018-08-02T07:01:38.088-04:002018-08-02T07:01:38.088-04:00OK, as far as jumping to hyperspace to get in fron...OK, as far as jumping to hyperspace to get in front of them, that's a lot of calculations (per what Han tells Luke back in Episode IV), and also (I assume anyway) too short a distance to bother with jumping to hyperspace to try overtaking them. They might end up going too far (a la Space Balls and Ludicrous Speed). Also, since they are needing to track them, this implies they aren't 100% sure where everything will end up. <br /><br />But that's just my guesses. I only watched the movie once, so I dunno.
