There’s an astronomer named Dr Becky with an interesting youtube channel. She did an episode about galactic collisions and how the chances of any two stars actually colliding is miniscule. There is that much space between stars. If our sun were the size of a pea the nearest star would be 125 miles away. The galaxies look nearly solid in photos but the distances are beyond immense. I guess as long as you don’t go near the central black hole the vast majority of stars will survive.
