How is your group handling the canon-breaking aspects of Epi

Hi,


I am not going to broach the subject of whether or not Ep8 was a good movie here, but I am curious as to how everyone else's group is handling the aspects of the movie that blow a big hole through some of the narrative drama of the rest of the movies & cartoons of the canon (also not going to address Legends here). In particular:





If hyperspace can be used as a weapon, why would anyone invent Death Stars when a pineapple at light speed is more than enough to obliterate a planet?



If lightsabers can be flicked on and off like flashlights, why does anyone use them like swords?

Please help.

Thanks!



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
