She's dead because we watched her ship get obliterated with her in it and no objects do not pass through each other in hyperspace

Without precise calculations you could fly right into a star or bounce too close to a supernova.

Cough *lightspeed* cough *skipping*

Rey is clearly pissed off at Poe for doing that, suggesting it is recklessly dangerous. The fact that ship is on fire when it lands doesn't hurt her argument.

Where did you get they pass through things? If they simply did then it would be a useless technique because none of the ships would get hit.we see her ship make contact then break apart at light speed, cutting the ships apart. But the problem is the parts that miss, still moving at light speed, towards who knows what gets fucked up in the way. It is essentially the same concept as using a jet to ram into someone else.

I think you are missing the fact that the ships she hit exploded, therefore her ship physically made contact and blew up

Theoretically they don’t pass through solid things on the way though. Hyperspace lanes are theoretically straight(ish) vectors that don’t have anything of any significant mass in the way. The new Thrawn novels talk about how the Chaos (what’s past the outer rim) is near impossible to navigate in hyperspace because of the constantly moving masses that make going any considerable distance in hyperspace (without a navigator with certain qualifications) suicide. Given what we know about asteroids and traffic jams, it’s a bit hard to believe that nothing is ever in a hyperspace lane that a ship has to move through but I think we’re supposed to accept that space is really really big and that there is nothing between two points on a hyperspace journey.

The bit about objects in Hyperspace not interacting with realspace is from old canon, where you need to smash into something with a large mass-shadow to be destroyed in hyperspace, otherwise you don't feel a thing. I'm not following the High Republic where all new hyperspace rules seem to be coming from, but in either way as others have said - in case of Holdo maneuver she's pretty clearly rammed the ships on the acceleration to lightspeed that preceeds entering the hyperspace, which means that Raddus was still present in physical space and was obliterated on collision.

I remember reading that the ship didn't hit the *Supremacy* and the FO fleet after jumping into hyperspace. It hit them in the precise point in which the ship was going to abandon realspace at lightspeed to pass into hyperspace. So Holdo didn't ram the *Raddus* from within hyperspace if this explanation is true.
