Uhn... unless you're*IN* one of those pulled-apart galaxies, of
course. Poor babies. I wonder if anyone is? I wonder whether we'll
ever know?

It wouldn't matter so much all of the stars and solar systems in each
pulled-apart galaxy would survive intact inside the new galaxy. Our own
galaxy is like that too, it's made up of the remains of dozens of dwarf
galaxies that were around before. For all we know our part of the Milky
Way was once part of some other dwarf galaxy.
