D6 Rules...What Have The New Films Changed?

I know they had to switch it off. I was wondering if in this particular situation, when whole horizon collapses on the ship as smaller and larger boulders, ship did not pass through any of the mass shadow of the falling debris.

Or maybe it should be viewed as accelerating, cause ship was still visible breaking the orbit, so the rules of mass shadow collision did not apply then? But seeing the Holdo maneuver, acceleration in an environment full of debris, obstacles is equally or more dangerous.

Difficult to decide whether there is pseudo-motion or not.

Pros for pseudomotion:
Entering/ exiting in atmosphere without side effect of speed for the surroundings.
Passing through the shields.

Cons:
Holdo ram – proof that there is actual acceleration to the speed of light (Confirmed in the novel: How Holdo's maneuver is described in the Last Jedi Novel)
Jedha jump – as Cassian punches it, all the falling rocks are moved rapidly behind just before light lines come into view.

I remember how jumping was shown in the X-Wing game (1993). There was an actual runaway distance varying from 15 to 25 km. If ship sensors were locked on any target, you could see how the distance increased rapidly before entering hyperspace.

Anyway, if anyone wishes to experiment: X-Wing Online

We've talked about hyperspace acceleration before. Video games are certainly not an accurate representation of the reality of the films in many, many ways, so I wouldn't consider them a reliable source at all.

Pseudomotion is exclusively a Timothy Zahn explanation, but it does make a lot of sense. Of course the six EU novels Zahn mentioned it in are now considered Legends, but Zahn entered Pseudomotion into Disney canon in a 2017 canon novel. The 2018 canon film novelization may be contradicting that because Disney continuity is no more consistent than EU continuity was.

However, Holdo's maneuver or the X-Wing game still isn't showing acceleration all the way to the speed of light. You couldn't see a sensor tracking distance detector change at anywhere near the speed of light. It would appear to change instantaneously. The same for the Raddus and all other ships we see enter or exit hyperspace. The short term acceleration/deceleration is far less than speed of light because the motion is visible to the human eye. Even if there is some realspace acceleration there is still a point of poof, gone into hyperspace. There still is a jump to hyperspace, with or without realspace acceleration.

I think in the novel the safety measures were not relativistic shielding, but proximity sensors that cut out hyperdrive is something was in the path of a jump.

The same ones that blocked jump in the above mentioned X-Wing game.

But the point is, the novel confirms that there is an acceleration in realspace. And to hit something, the point of entry must be on the other side of an object that is to be hit.

So... enough time for Holdo to grab a cup of coffee before the light show... or no?

Still, the whole time dilatation would be useful for Anoat - Bespin issue.
Especially if Radio Drama confirms there was sublight drive travel
Just need to put those systems really, really close together by canon.
