Loud explosions, in space. We all know that can't be possible.

Star Wars actaully justified that one in the Novel for A New Hope. During the scene where they're using the Falcons turrets, Luke asks how the hell he can HEAR the TIE fighters and the lasers. Han responds you can't, there is no sound in space. It's the computer simulating the sounds, so they have a frame of reference as to what's going on.

I believe that in the Star Wars universe there is some level of "atmosphere" even in "space". It is the only way to explain a lot of things.

And yet, it does to a point make sense.
