I feel like the light speed skipping cuts away to quickly. It needs to linger on the trail the Falcon leaves for a second or two before wiping.

I think the music editing is more the problem - the actual timing of the shot and the wipe (the wipe should probably be more pronounced with a visible, more prominently blurred edge transitioning between the two scenes - maybe use the bottom of the leaf as the top edge of that wipe) is spot-on. Hanging on the “hyperspace trails” for a second or two is just wasted time. The only thing that makes the edit there feel “fast” is knowing that the music is being faded out too quickly - if you watch it without music, the beats hit just right. If that last horn blast was allowed to ring out in full, and maybe even reverb its way a second or two into the next scene, it’d join a lot better.
