Well, without space, there wouldnt even be nothing, there just wouldnt be, so yeah, light needs space to move. Though you need to realize that space is not 'something', it's not a medium, it just is. So light propagates through a lot of nothingness from the sun untill it reaches earth.

Photons does not require any medium to travel. In short, photon can travel in vaccum.
Characteristic of how photon travels when physical medium presences changes with respect to the characteristic of the medium itself.

yes...the opposite of space is matter...and light has a hard time moving through matter.

If there is no space, then there is no motion. As motion is relative.
