There’s a very clear difference between ‘simulating shaking environment by shaking the camera’ and ‘shaky cam.’ The latter is entirely stylistic and need not be tied to the ‘shakiness’ of the environment. For example, when the camera shakes during the tie fighter attack, that is not ‘shaky cam’ style footage, it’s supposed to be the Falcon shaking. In my mind that’s like calling a hot dog a sandwich.
