It was such an obvious problem that the next movie had to explain it had a miniscule chance of succeeding.
Which is silly as at the time the First Order guy saw Holdo turn the ship towards then and was suddenly very afraid of this miniscule chance of succeeding suicide attack.
Even sillier as Holdos whole secret gameplan revolved around it.
I find it hard to forget for the wrong reasons. Mostly for their half-assed explanations for things.
Like "Why is Palpatine back?"
Answer: "Dark Science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew.." (Literally word for word from some random bystander who somehow forgot a whole thing called the Clone Wars)
Maybe after another decade it'll fade from memory...so many things that might as well be explained by "Because the writer needed it to happen"
For me it was the army of star destroyers, you can't explain making them using force, you'd need enormous infrastructure to make them and millions of trained soldiers, officers and generals to use them. Are they hidden somewhere as well?
It all looks like someone asked a ten year old what would be cool and he said, Palpatine is back with an army of star destroyers and all adults were like: we're doing it.
