I'm forever amused by people opposed to silly comic book nonsense like this because it's unrealistic or breaks in-universe logic.

People who can be credulous about laser swords but get upset when someone uses a hyperdrive as a torpedo are like religious people who ignore 3/4 of the stuff from their faith but get real militant about the three rules they care about.

Internal consistency is a major part of storytelling. If you've set rules and expectations within a story, breaking them is akin to breaking a contract between the author and the audience, leading to a loss of immersion.

But lightsabers and hyperspace are both part of the same universe. Crossing over to other universes that have completely different "rulesets" often doesn't make much sense. Unless you mean something else I don't get.
