Except that when Disney bought Star Wars they disbanded all the canon. They said that everything other than the movies/shows is no longer canon. So nothing you read and think you know about anything is canon anymore. Because they wanted the artistic freedom. They didn’t mess up the canon. They erased it and started fresh.

(responding to all your comments, not just this one in particular)

Hyperdriving an X-Wing into the Death Star would barely scratch it. There is a quite a size differential there. That’s why when the Jurassic Park chick hyperdrived that huge ship into the other huge ship it exploded. I doubt a fighter would have had much impact. It was the ram that hurt it. The hyperdrive just added some extra ram and also stopped it from being destroyed before it rammed or dodged. There’s nothing stopping them from ramming otherwise but they don’t want to waste lives and materials maybe I dunno it’s stupid to bitch about because it’s all make believe anyways.

I agree, i just wanted to add, that the Death Star got destroyed by a mere 2 (but well placed) photon torpedoes, in “theory” Luke could also have used his hyperdrive to shoot through the core, but yeah i agree with your initial explanation, a ship that size would probably get stuck behind the mantle, of sorts, a Death Star is too massive to just have things hyperdriving through it, it would have to be a massive ship to be able to destroy a Death Star by hyper-ram.
I think they showed that in the movies pretty decently, i did not think that everything can be killed just by ramming it, there are… rammifications!

And yeah, Rey was the daughter of a Palpatine clone, inherited his connection to the Force, that could excuse a lot of the missed training, because she mostly honed her fighting skills and discipline to survive alone, as opposed to Luke’s sheltered upbringing and Anakin’s failed tutelage.

But yeah, not that i really care either, i thought this trilogy was alright, slightly more enjoyable than the prequels.
