Hmm, I suppose you're right. I don't know why sci-fi purists are okay with that explanation when logically nothing can move faster than the speed of light. I've seen more debate over whether a blaster is a laser weapon or a plasma weapon. I guess they had a hard time reconciling the line from Han about how the Falcon does "Point five past light speed". At this point, I've accepted that hyperspace and FTL travel in Star Wars is basically just the wild west and nobody is trying to clarify how any of it actually works, they just want to have cool scenes.
