They made it look cool enough I kind of ignored that part. Especially since it could be a one or two line fix, but would have gotten a bit too sci-fi:

'You'd have to disable the NAV computers and manually override remote failsafe thingamabobber. You'd need somebody physically manning the controls, it'd be a suicide mission!'

And then they can retcon something about shields usually would block the hyperdrive phasing or whatever but their shields were down to maximize the range on their turbo lasers etc.


So yeah, I'd say they got away with it because it was an absolutely fantastic shot.
