[star wars] where do the lasers go in space?

In large space battles there are dozens of large ships and potentially hundreds of fighters shooting wildly at eachother and missing multiple shots

Do those lasers that miss just keep flying through space forever until they hit something?

While in Star Wars ship cannons are usually called "turbolasers", actual description says that the bolts actually are agitated tibanna gas plasma, so it actually dissipates harmlessly relatively fast after being shot. Actually.
