Not to mention the amount of time it would take to move that amount of matter (from the star to SKB), given that our own sun is about 333,000 as massive as Earth is. I’m not saying SKB is as big as Earth, but that a star has such an incomprehensibly large about of mass that it would take forever to move it all 8 light-minutes away even at relativistic speeds.

that’s what ludicrous speed is for

If we’re still picking apart the physics of Star Wars, why has no one pointed out just how long it would take for matter from a star to reach a habitable planet (ie. Starkiller Base) that’s as far from it as we are from the Sun (we are 8.3 light minutes away)? Matter is not going to traverse the distance at the speed of light, and the appearance of the stream suggests it does not enter hyperspace.

no one in star wars learned physics, so they aren’t constrained by it.
