Seriously, can you imagine watching Star Wars when the battle fleet comes out of Hyper Space and then watching the ships travel for 10 minutes before the battle begins? Then the fans say, "well space is really big".
In all the Sci-Fi movies I have watched, ships come out of Hyper-Space at the planet not the sun. I can only imagine coming out at the sun position in uncharted systems. Just waiting for the geeks to list the movies where this isn't so...
If everything in Star Wars worked the same as Elite Dangerous, it would still look the same to you. Ships in Elite drop out of Witchspace into FrameShift, which is still FTL travel; they don't drop into "normal" space after their jump - that happens when they get to their destination. In a movie shot from the perspective of the battlefield, all you're going to see is a bunch of ships warping into position.
And Hyperspace in Star Wars
does take time - there are plenty of sequences where people are just chilling on deck while their ship is in a Hyperspace tunnel, waiting to get to their destination. It's just that, y'know, IT'S A MOVIE so nothing happens in real time and there are lots of cuts.
A better scifi comparison is Star Trek's warp drives, which are similar to Elite's Frame Shift drives in terms of how fast they can move from place to place (Star Trek warp is I believe actually
slower than FSD?) There are lots and lots of sequences in Star Trek where drama is happening on the ship, people are talking, going about their business, while the ship is in warp. But once again anytime there's a battle sequence you still see all the ships drop into the battlefield seemingly instantly, but the truth is they've all been traveling quite a long time to get where they were going.
