I'm pretty sure that Rian Johnson is a superfan.

She has the jedi texts... Yoda knew it which is why he says "she has everything she needs" or something like that. What I can't figure out is if he was purposefully trying to keep the knowledge that Rey had the texts from Luke - which is why he flamed the tree? Why would Yoda care if Luke found out Rey took the texts? If he doesn't care, then why bother striking the tree with lightning at all?

They were out of range to do any damage to the larger shielded "mother ship". but the transports had no shields.

This is no doubt a bit of a hole. Would have preferred it if Leia was horrified at the act because of some tear or something it would create in the universe. Something that made it seem like there was a very good reason, we just don't do that... ever - even in the face of planet-killing star destroyers. I think I'd have preferred it if Holdo just moved the ship in between the path of the transports and the FO to allow them to escape. Only reason I thing Rian went the way he did, was to try to level the playing field a little between the FO and the shredded resistance. Make each of them go back to their corners and lick their wounds a bit. But it's a plot hole, no question.

Maybe they opened the door, let everyone out, and then closed it again?

Why not? That's like saying
"Why even have Ned Stark if you're just going to be-head him in the first season." If no major-ish characters ever die then these kinds of battles ring hollow.

I don't get the impression that Force Ghosts in the Star Wars universe just have free reign to hang out as much as they want (like ghosts in Harry Potter). They seem to come and go when the situation is great or otherwise demands it.
