The explanation that when they collided that it would have enough destructive force to burn everything down to the mantle. That means if we are close enough to witness the battle, we are all being burned. That would have ended the story pretty quickly
Woo hoo
I did think that there was a bit of a lapse in AOE, but I'll let it slide for a scientifically sound concept. Wink But also, I think he talking about if the amount of explosive force were unleashed on a planet's surface it would burn everything to the mantle. My inner physics nerd was doing unspeakably naughty things when he explained that. Or when he explain relativistic kinetic energy.

I suck at physics so I will bow to your superior knowledge on the subject. Either way the AOE would have ended the movie

Yeah, but that would be one helluvan ending. Like, "Oops! I didn't know it was going to be that big." Why is there never any science-whoopsies in SW. Like what would have happened if Han blinked coming into SKB and missed the split second to come out of hyperspace?" But then hey, screw your busted remade lame ANH-style X-Wing attack. The Falcon could have solved the whole problem with one little WHOOPS.

Bad story continuity.

For me (and many others) it was the perfect opportunity to write her out of the script, as well as provide a catalyst for the Resistance to bring down the First Order.

I know, but since that was in he script before they started filming, then they could have just used it as a way to kill her.

Yep, because now they have to use stock footage, CGI, or some plot device back story for Episode IX to either have her appear and die, or explain her death and absence in the time between the end of VIII and the beginning of IX.

Real research has indicated that one would not instantly die in the vacuum of space. And more than one person has survived depressurization in space, however, they were back in within a minute, not seconds. I had a problem with how it felt in the film, but the science mixed with fantasy is plausible that one could use the Force to stay alive and move around, if one could focus. The look on her face made it clear she felt what was coming before the explosion. If one interprets her eyes closed floating in space as meditation, not unconsciousness, it makes better sense.

An episode of Rebels had Kanan able to survive longer than Leia, but I was disappointed that he didn't even try to use the Force to move, jumping on things instead while they got the vectors wrong.

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.

The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.
