Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3228789, member: 405"] The "unsafety" of jumping to light speed without setting the coordinates to avoid hitting stuff is well known in the Star Wars universe. Admiral Holdo doing that in Rogue One, I think it was, was an act of sacrifice. (And yes, I suppose it shows that you could have done what you are saying, but not all small craft can get up to light speed, can they? Isn't that why Tie Fighters are carried on Destroyers?) I don't think anybody was very upset about it, except maybe in StarWars Reddit groups or other Internet subgroups, where supposed "fans" of franchises all criticize and hate everything about the fandom and the films. Some people only use the Internet groups to show how smart they are, by hating on everything and everyone else. So, if those people were upset about the "Holdo Maneuver", well, they'll get over it. It was a terrific movie. Very enjoyable if you are a 40 year fan of the franchise. [/QUOTE]
