Most things in Star Wars actually aren't flying through space all that fast when not in Hyperspace. You don't even need to start talking c-fractional velocities, some of them are only barely into "would be supersonic in atmosphere". That's very much not a problem you need combat capable shielding to solve. If Hyperspace ramming is a thing at all then anything going Hyperspace needs shields that can handle nearly infinite energy quantities, it's better if it's "just" the entry to Hyperspace but it's still terrible. Again, as I've said earlier, if you can interact with real space while also getting anywhere near c you need to be able to handle absurd energy amounts, if you are going faster than c we are now talking literally greater than infinite amounts of energy in every collision. A TIE being able to shoot down an X-Wing with shields that can handle even just entry to Hyperspace in a world with the Holdo Manuever should be able to do what the Death Star did.If we fo by your point, anything unshielded would never be able to fly I'm space because they would be hitting space dust at insane speeds....
Oh, and claiming "In Star Wars space is emptier" collapses, because we have an example, in Disney Canon, of exiting Hyperspace IN ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!
The Holdo Manuever and Starkiller Base contradict.
EDIT: Normally space dust isn't a huge issue, see the Space Shuttle or the ISS, it's ONLY when you start talking about c and c-fractional velocities that it starts being a problem.
