Sigh! Yeah, there is that. But having those guys in charge of the space battles would make it a little less "Space Fantasy."
"Real" space battles probably don't look like much of anything. I imagine Weber sprinkles a liberal dose of not-so-realistic pacing and close in fighting to bring more drama to it.
But the other point I was making is that (Last Jedi aside), Star Wars physics is pretty internally consistent, and given that it is describing a speculative set of technologies, the way it ends up looking is the way it really works rather than just the cinematographer screwing things up. We benefit because the speculative technology
happens to make for good cinema, but that's part of the reason we'd rather watch Star Wars tech in action rather than a film set in an STL universe where everyone is on vacation. Conflict and action require ground rules, and we have to buy into those.
When it comes to speculative fiction I really try to suspend my disbelief to the extent that everything remains internally consistent, otherwise you're taking the work out of context by forcing your external set of speculative physics beliefs on it. Which isn't much different than saying that you think a character should be different than they are, or the trees are the 'wrong' shape, etc.
In other words, if Superman can fly because of a yellow sun, than that's the reason Superman can fly. My opinion is irrelevant to what the author created.
