That's the biggest plothole in this film, IMO, because as I stated earlier, The Rebellion could have easily built 100 Hyperspace Drones capable of destroying the Death Star, which basically makes the entire saga null and void.
Luke becoming a crusty old man that's withdrawn from The Force is about #7 on my list of issues with this film.

Finn and Rose are just plain terrible, and rank right up there with side adventures such as the Ewoks.
The Leia thing never bothered me, as it had been established for DECADES that she had been trained in the force by Luke to some degree, culminating in her very proficient use of a lightsaber by the time we reach her current age within the "Disney Era". Fans who have followed these characters rather intently post-Jedi knew that some demonstration of force abilities by Leia would be forthcoming, though they knew not what shape they would take.
As to the hyperspace massacre, I can see your point but the OT would have been rather bland had their been no spaceship battles in a 'Star
Wars'.
At this point in the film, the rebellion is down to practically nothing and it makes all the sense in the universe that a desperation move would be used by one person who could potentially save the remaining rebel assets. The mechanics of hyperspace and other such Star Trekkian aspects should have little to do with the fact that this Admiral saw an opening and went for it. She was going to die anyway, was resigned to the fact, and did what she had to do to save her friends and allies. And in the end, it was a FAR more incredible display of heroics and sacrifice than simply blowing up yet ANOTHER goddamned super weapon.
