Ridiculous-Kanin getting sucked out into space and surviving

Interstellar Spaceships are part of the lore.
The Force is part of the lore.
Lightsabers are part of the lore.

In the frame of the SW setting, that is reality. This falls under world-building. The writer will explain or show the reader\viewer how the universe works and how it is different from the real world. Since SW is way more fantasy than sci-fi, the science bit is left out of the movies. Since how a hyperdrive actually works isn't relevant to the story.

Dismissed. You obviously didn't follow the thread above my post.

In the movies we see people getting sucked out into space and dying almost right away. So it is established that this kills people in SW. Except for Kanan, it seems. For plot reasons.

For the sake of argument, since it appears you have a part-time job coming here to complain and mentally prowess board members, let's pretend that's what I was talking about:

1. How many Jedi Knights do we see get sucked out into space?

2. Five people can get hit by a car and die, but if a sixth gets hit and lives, is unbelievable? Circumstances can vary, the will and strength of a person, especially one strong with the Force, can yeild unexpected results. The Force is lore, by your words.

3. Surviving a seemingly unsurvivable circumstance doesn't fall into lore, it falls into character drama and as long as it is done reasonably, it's perfectly okay.

No need to think about things that are established and spoonfed to you over the course of 7 movies. But when something completely breaks with the logic of the framework already in place within the overall story, even a hint of critical thinking will spot it.

Ah, no -- Star Wars encompasses a wide range of science fiction and fantasy, not every little circumstance is covered even in seven, eight, or twenty films. Further more you are talking about the films after-the-face. Imagine watching these as each one came out, over thirty-five years apart; not everythign was established in the first film, so anything after that was added to the frame work, and each time some of them were quite illogical, but when you talk of something long ago like it was a sudden onslaught of world building lore, you bypass what was. ST: R is canon and thirty-five plus years later, it will be taken as such and nobody and their grandmother will remember your complaints.

The writers of this show are writing for 6 year olds (their words).

That's cherry picking. Try watching interviews with the cast and crew and panels at places like Comic Con -- they're plotting and structuring beyond that of a six year old. Their words.

Furthermore, all one has to do is watch cartoons from yesteryear and it's clear while this may be referenced for six year old,s it's not written as such. This is beyond that. And I don't mean like some old cartoon that was consdiered mroe mature just because it had some hidden adult-humor jokes in episodes.

They are just assuming the children won't pick up on such things. The writing is grossly simplified and dumbed down. As it should be when writing for young children.

Adults didn't pick up on those things, including -- presumably -- you. Oh, no wait -- they did and even linked to a good video about it above my original post.

Of course the writing has a good degree of simplification, but said writing would still be affective even for kids twice and more than six years old. Let's stop (well, actually, you stop) using the strawman of "young children". There are plenty of pre-teens and young teens that aren't that bright. Hell, I've met more than seasoned adults that have the brain capacity of a seventeen year old, and thirty year olds already thinking like that of a seasoned fifty year old.

And it's already established from two seasons and interviews that it's not grossly simplified or any other phrasing you come up with now or later.
