Little ships seem to push off of something in space to maneuver. Big ships at least are described as having gravity generators.
Then there are of the loud, fiery explosions, which wouldn’t really work in a vacuum or near vaccuum.
There doesn’t seem to be any radiation from anything anywhere in space, almost like some medium is blocking it.
Also they all seem to find a (nearly) level plane to fight there ships on.
It depends on what cannon you look towards to see if relatively applies, generally it doesn’t, but every once in a while the writers will turn a ship into pure energy and nuke something.
So, you can have a fiery explosion in space… its just that it would have to be kind of chemical that can burn without requiring oxygen.
IRL there are many chemicals that, once sufficiently heated, basically burn themselves up extremely energetically without need for an atmosphere to fuel this process.
Also IRL, most rockets are controlled, continuous combustion of varying kinds of volatile chemicals, and if combustion manages to occur not al the rocket nozzle, you can absolutely have a fiery explosion, as the rocket itself brings the oxidizer along with it.
Coloration of various kinds of chemicals exploding can potentially be a wide array of colors beyond the typical orange/red we generally associate with most movie explosions.
Movie explosions are themselves often dramatically overdone for the fireball effect by adding huge amounts of gasoline or kerosene or things like this to greatly accentuate the fireball.
Further, due to lack of a gravitation field, and atmosphere to allow for air currents, flames do not go up, they basically form spheres around whatever is burning, and look totally different from what we are used to.
Basically, fiery explosions in space are realistically possible, its just that they would look very different from say a fighter plane exploding in atmosphere.
Depending on how you explain them, they could be different colors, expand in very visually distinct ways, and probably visually persist for a much shorter time frame.
What you could not have is the scene from the Acolyte where Osha outs out a fire.
If some kind of flammable gas managed to ignite, then the fire would not be limited to just where it is exposed to air space.
The combustion would spread through the entire container or fuel line system and basically all of that would likely explode.
Yeah, kinda.
