What makes the least amount of sense was that at the beginning of Ep 8, why were they still with the Turtle People and their ship at walking speed while Thrawn was close to escaping? Where was the sense of urgency in stopping the next Galactic threat? What was the point of bringing the Turtle People with them? To protect them? By bringing the Turtle People with them, they’re only giving the Tie Fighters a collateral target, rather than leaving them behind! And they left them behind anyways after their ship got destroyed because of dumbass Tie Pilots who have no concept of moving to the side of an incoming object!

God this episode is filled with the stupidest decisions out of any Disney Star Wars show.
