Working under the premise of the human understanding of fire we know, as common knowledge, that fire will not exist in an environment lacking oxygen, like Outer Space for example (and in some people's heads).

So why...

in every piece of cinema I can think of featuring an explosion in Outer Space, is there fire of some kind?

It makes no sense, and as a viewer, I always expect it not to happen...

but then it does... and I get upset...

I can't help but wonder what the fuck gives.

Is this a conscious decision on the part of directors to emphasize the tragedy?

going on 40 years after Star Wars now...

You'd think someone would have caught on by now.

What say y'all?
