The fighters not deploying from the Dreadnought, ok. But no fighters launching from the entire FO fleet over the course of an hours-long chase? Each Star Destroyer has maybe 6 squadrons... so we are talking 50-60 squadrons among the support ships, not including whatever fighters are on the Supremacy. Including TIE Bombers of course.
It pains me to criticize something I love so much, but I can't geek out over a scenario so poorly conceived. Part of what made SW exciting was, right from the opening sequence you get a huge ship overtaken by an even more massive ship, disabled, tractor beamed over and boarded. All of the concepts of these huge ships and their hangars and fighters and shuttles and crews and troopers felt so well thought out. It made an impression on my imagination as a child that will always be there. The type of thing that inspired countless lego creations, micro machine battles, fantasies about escape pods and boarding parties, etc. So I admit I bring that baggage into TLJ and yes, the film leaves me absolutely bewildered.
Because bigger is apparently cooler. And what's cooler than having room to house two Star Destroyers inside your capital ship? Nevermind having it do anything threatening. The problem with this whole "Go Big!" concept is it creates plot problems where there would be none with a smaller scale pursuit force. But please, don't be a nitpicker by asking where the hell the fighters, bombers and boarding parties are. We see a hangar with thousands of Stormtroopers standing in formation, but why aren't they piling on transports by the hundreds and heading right into the Raddus' hangar like Kylo did?
