I don’t think there’s any question that the Death Star has hyperspace capabilities.
It was not something shown or stated in ANH. I don’t think it was meant to be an issue either way. That was something truly not important to the movie.
Anyway, I’ve explained what I think are some pretty obvious differences in the two situations.
I don’t think you have.
Disagreement is one thing but don’t deny obvious differences I’ve stated above.
To recap, assuming DS does hyperspace:
(1) ANH-only 30 minutes; TLJ-unknown amount of time, at least many hours
(2) ANH-DS jumps must take enormous energy; not as big a deal for normal shipsI’m not going to get in a big debate about this but suffice to say it’s just silly inconsequential nitpicks either way.
We must have different ideas about what constitutes silly inconsequential nitpicks. When I watch a movie and I wonder why didn’t character X just do Y, especially given the situation, that seems an entirely reasonable criticism. This extends to any movie.
That’s not to say I think these are the biggest issues ever. Asking why a FO ship didn’t make a short jump ahead is not well answered by “that’s a nitpick I refuse to discuss.” But of course you don’t need to discuss anything.
