I am also one of those nerds who will forever ignore that the film introduced the concept that you can just ram your spaceship into a fleet at lightspeed in a kamikaze attack, because the worldbuilder in my head goes into a frothing rage thinking about how that completely invalidates all warfare forever if any random nation-state can just fling automated asteroids-with-engines-attached at their enemies from afar and nuke their navies/planets/moon-sized superweapons into oblivion at a fraction of the cost of an actual military.

hahah yeah I just posted the same, like, it always bothered me that they never did that. Death star? uhhh okay, put an engine on a big rock and lightspeed into it, done deal, good bye. If it's not possible, like hyperspace is separate from realspace and you just go through things (which wouldn't make sense in other ways i.e. Han's Kessel Run would be super easy just hyperspacin' through black holes (or nebula or whatever the fuck they retconned it into)) then it's forgivable, but by demonstrating that it is possible... it's just so stupid.

especially when literally any of the support cruisers that just "run out of gas" could have made a similar attack, saving everyone else, instead of just dying for no fucking reason
