Star Wars capital ship design is messed up to begin with. a star destroyer's been completely disabled with 2 shots from an ion cannon (which is conveniently never used in the series again). a super star destroyer 10+ km long is defeated when its highly exposed bridge deflector shield generators are taken out with a few shots, and a tiny A-wing accidentally flies through their window. and on Leia's cruiser, their shields are easily able to fend off 18 hours of nonstop long range bombardment, but its bridge gets blown to smithereens by a couple of tie fighters that...ignore shields?
I'm more forgiving of SW space battles anyways since they're supposed to look like old WWII footage. but a hyperspace kamikaze is probably the most believable way of causing massive damage, given what's been done to capital ships in the past.
