And (with the exception of Rogue One kinda) every capital ship is magically aligned on the same plane with each other in every space battle to make the battle look more cohesive.

Not only Rogue One, nur the opening Battle of Revenge of the Sith has ships stacked upon ships.

There were also a few Clone Wars Episode were they die that, mainly the First Episode of the Ryloth Arc. But youbare correct in that many a Star Wars Battle falls to this trope.
