The Cracked folks considered this a mark of effective movie-making rather than an egregious mistake, because audiences were swept up in the movie enough not to notice that flaw in the logic. That’s how I felt about all of these nitpicks about the in-universe rules of space travel in TLJ. I was engaged enough in the story that was in front of me that I was not giving any thought at all to whether or not it was 100% consistent with the last eight films (which, it’s worth noting, are not entirely consistent with each other either). I get that that’s not enough for everyone, but it’s enough for me.
Interesting, because I was the exact opposite. EVERYTHING was pulling me out of the movie. X-Wing skidding turns. Arcing shots from the cannons. The ridiculous size of the Snoke Ship. Finn/Rose just being able to lightspeed away for a casino adventure. “Fuel”. The hard-limit 18 hours of training. TIE Fighters needing “cover” from Star Destroyers.
Not to mention the really bad ones like the slow speed chase and hyperspace ramming.
So in almost every scene of the movie I had a knife twisting in my side about how bad this was and didn’t make sense. Makes it really hard to appreciate the good aspects.
