The oxygen comes from inside your ship too. The flames consume it as it would in a planetary atmosphere. Believe it or not Fire is one of the worst fear of astronauts specifically because it consume the oxygen they breath. IRL the fire would stop fast because it would "burn" the ship oxygen really fast but in swtor with our ship's long term life support system it seems to burn for a while. That and "suspension of disbelief" mentioned above.

That's perfectably acceptable logic for a fantasy story, even one set in space.

Maybe you've got a leak in your Life Support system? Really though, in the Lucas universe the laws of science do not apply. Just go with it.

The Sun is (mostly) hydrogen if it was burning it would do: 2 Hydrogen molecules + Oxygen molecule ---> 2 molecules of water It doesn't instead it does: 2 Hydrogen molecules -------> 1 Helium atom (+energy lots and lots and lots of energy)

Oh no not the "why is there fire and explosions in space" guys, guess they would have to show up some time. Quote: Originally Posted by Manifoldgodhead WOW, the sun is not on fire doofus.
