Why didn't anyone think of doing that against the death star in ROTJ? Especially when the half completed death star was decimating Rebel cruisers - surely one of them would've just FTL rammed it and won the fight.
The A-wing that smashed into the bridge of the super star destroyer might as well have just light-speed battering ram and taken out a lot more than just the flagship.
Why didn't they do that in Yavin 4? Why even have this long convoluted scene with Luke Skywalker when you could've just FTL rammed it with 10 Xwings and called it a day?
Because it's basic lightspeed technology, you could say this for literally any fight that's ever happened in star wars including the prequels.

It's weird that people are trying to use logic to explain how this doesn't work but then completely ignore logic to rip holes in it.
It's like asking what is the difference between me getting hit with a proton or a misquito and me getting hit with a bullet or a bowling ball.
Not to mention the logistics. Why does any military, real or in movies, use weapons when they can just crash their multi billion dollar aircraft into their target? It is so obvious it shouldn't even need explanation.
