Back to topic, i was wondering. in the Battle of Endor, should ships be on fire? Explosions? More of them anyways.

I know ships have sheilds. but you think after awhile of fighting you think you'd see ships on fire, ships blowing up or parts of the ships blowing up. It just seems like it would make more sense.

I think more explosions might be good. But to have ships be continuosly on fire would be a little TOO unrealistic lol.

Star Wars has always had explosions and sound in space (it is Space Fantasy not Science Fiction) but even in evoking the dreaded science bit here, these are ships filled with breathable air, surrounded by force fields and venting breathable air, couple that with the possibility that the ships may be built with elements that don't need atmospheric Oxygen to burn (like some metals) what is TOO unrealistic about them being on fire?

If it works with the story and can be done well it should be done.
