Yeah, I have to agree. There are enough problems in TLJ that weren't problems in previous SW movies. But, if we're going to start criticizing SW films for characters employing questionable strategies and tactics, that's not gonna be pretty. The OT is certainly not free of questionable and problematic strategies, plans, and tactics. I see that stuff as more of a given when dealing with a space-based fantasy movie that needs drama. If the Empire did things with strategic competence, the rag-tag Rebels wouldn't have made it very far. No drama to sustain one movie, much less three.
The idea of picking apart character motivation and strategy to find "plot holes" seems to be a relatively new phenomenon that can probably be attributed directly to the internet and social media. If these message boards, online review videos, Twitter, and blogs existed back in the 80's, it would have been hilarious to read about how nonsensical the plan to free Han from Jabba's Palace was. It would have been even funnier to read about how/why Jabba was just hiding behind a curtain in the dark (with C-3PO, Bib Fortuna, Max Reebo, and others) waiting quietly for someone to defrost Han. Instead, we just enjoyed the movies without getting caught up in stuff like how the Empire could lose track of the Falcon in ESB, how Boba Fett knew to drift Slave I amongst the space junk, and how Boba & the Empire anticipated the arrival on Bespin with enough time to pick out the freezing chamber (and set up a brunch for Vader and company before Han becomes the freezing guinea pig who can conveniently be turned over to Boba Fett) without any Imperial ships ever being spotted. All of these things can be retroactively explained by anyone who cares to do it. The same can be said for the strategy questions in TLJ. I don't really see these things as flaws (unless the characters engage in decision-making that is too blatantly stupid to ignore). Gotta be consistent.
