Also the fact that she says "up there", when she should have said "out there" Up, down, left, and right are meaningless in space.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

my magical dreams are crushed now

Yes... I was afraid I might be bursting a bubble or two.... Just don't ask me about Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy because my lips are zipped!

While others discuss serious points... from the point of view of the young lady, SHE is correct.
Obviously parked on a planetary surface 'somewhere', with gravity pulling towards her down direction, the sky in this case is UP and thus correct. Out there would have referred to anywhere outside the vehicle she is inside of. Left and right are not in the discussion.

Now back to the serious stuff... What about the Easter Bunny? That has to be real... right?

Almost forgot the OP... I doubt that something as small as a TIE fighter, even one on fire would be bright enough to be seen so far away that the planet it is falling onto disappears completely while the other ships also vanish... or that the light would just sit in view when in the film the explosions are over in seconds... certainly NOT comet material or timing...

Still it is an interesting ad... Glad to say that I made good on my 7th consecutive first day viewing. I'm not sure how many more I have left in me time wise... given the spacing of the movies in years.

But turtles don't have lips.

Or the fact that, you know... Star Wars is a fictional creation. =)

Next you're going to tell me is hover boards aren't real either!

The explosion would not produce enough light to be visible to the naked eye since it is occurring in a galaxy far far away, although it would take a long time for the light to travel here, so the timing may be accurate.
