for practically every complaint a user makes, there are loads of very plausible explanations. as said ^^^, try to be the kind of person that is open to new things, instead of the kind of person who immediately reacts negatively to new things.

here is how your thinking about that hyperspace maneuver could go:

Sees awesome scene in theater, complete silence, then awesome conclusive boom:

  • holy crap that was cool!
  • huh, they took out so many freakin ships!
  • i wonder what makes this unique, haven’t seen it before, and will we keep seeing it used as a tactic now?
  • well, one factor that let this happen was Hux being an idiot and ignoring what the ship was doing, despite his officer brining the turning ship to his attention, maybe most people catch the long buildup that this type of attack would take, and Hux just didn’t.
  • it would also be suicide, most people try to avoid that (could use a droid i guess)
  • hm, they also had an extremely massive ship that they used as the weapon, i am sure mass has something to do with it. mass times velocity and all that. massive ships are both expensive, and well, large. I can see people not using weapons that are as big as their own ship, seems like that would be impractical.
  • yeah, those are all plenty of reasons to just enjoy the most freaking cool thing ever.

  • i will now deride everything else about this movie

Please take my word that i edited that last part several times before posting the first time, and i tried to remove anything inflammatory from it, such as some adjectives i had before.
