Look, I hate what they turned Star Wars into. I don't like the fact that women took it over and are claiming "oppression" even though they're the ones in power. But, this fire in space bullshit isn't the fight. Star Wars already has a bunch of stupid shit that we let get away with in the past.
EDIT: Looks like I pissef off the FNT fans. If he made the argument that the fire is cheaply done because the director doesn't know what the fuck she's doing then I would agree with him, but his argument isn't that. His argument is "fire in space". It makes us look like we're nitpicking at every single thing in Star Wars. We already have a compelling argument that women have destroyed Star Wars and we should've gatekept the fuck out of it. This argument about "fire in space" is retarded when it comes to Star Wars.
They already "got away" with dropping bombs in space that require you to be on top of another ship in space. I can't see how they can top that in stupidity.
If you are going to use a "got away with" example, I don't think you should pick from TLJ. That retarded pile of manure is where a lot of us washed our hands of Star Wars. Mary Poppins Leia is where I "quit". I think the best example is visible laser bolts, although that may have existed beforehand as a scifi trope.
The space bomb dropping started with the original trilogy era tie in games like X-wing and Tie Fighter, the Y-Wing was usually given that bizarre bombing mechanic in any game it appeared in. Depends how much stock you give the EU I suppose.
