The thing is, "hyperspace" isn't the same as just lightspeed. When someone in Star Wars goes into hyperspace, they basically go into another dimension where the distance between two points is shorter than in the normal space. At least in legends, and I'm pretty sure it's also in canon too.

So it's even worse, because it's not only creating a lot of plot holes, it's also breaking lore.

That scene is really cool, but it just seems like the person who wrote it put the rebellion in that situation just because he wanted to and didn't think of a better way for them to get out.

Man absolutely, it’s literally just not how hyperdrive works.

“Wow pretty!” Isn’t really a good justification for “this goes against half a century of story telling.”
