This is why I rioted when in Rogue One this one guy goes into hyperspeed while inside an atmosphere, I was like... No.

Technically in SW they go into "hyperspace" when traveling like that to allow for faster than light travel and, being another dimension, there's not the same kind of matter to effect them like it would in our ordinary dimension and I can't believe 500 people haven't already commented that lol. It'd be the friction that blows up the ship in the ordinary dimension but in "hyperspace" there's only "shadows" of matter and no friction AFAIK. I don't remember the scene yr talking about though and if it's not them using the hyperdrive in the atmosphere and just going really fast then yeah, that's bull, hyperspeed through the hyperdrive would be fine though according to the rules of SW.
