Considering that the resistance is pretty much down to the one fleet, and later one ship, being stripped of his rank isn't the same as it would be in a full military. If it was a big deal, put him in the brig. If it's not, just tell him that there is a plan, but the details are secret.He had just been stripped of his rank for disobeying a direct order and getting a lot of people killed. Sacrificing a bunch of Resistance soldiers and their equipment to take out a ship makes sense when it's a one-of-a-kind superweapon that's about to destroy the planet. Taking out one Star Destroyer equivalent? Not so much.
Quite frankly, I just found it refreshing to see a character flaw actually being a flaw that causes the character problems, not just something that comes up when convenient and goes away when inconvenient.
This made me more interested in her. The Chosen One isn't nearly as interesting as the One Who Chooses.
Rey is also the Chosen One, destined and all that. It's just that now instead of being immaculate conception by the force, it's being picked by the force. Anakin's parents didn't matter after all. Luke wasn't a Chosen One, just a farm boy with potential.
