Now we're to believe they could have just sent a ship or two with a single pilot to kamikaze the Deathstar?
Cool shot, poor story telling.

Why didn't anyone fly a jumbo jet into a skyscraper until 2001? Skyscrapers, jumbo jets, terrorists, and hijackers had all been around for decades at that point in history.
Why isn't it enough of an explanation to simply say, "no one had thought to do it before"?
There are many things in life that make you say, "why didn't someone think of this sooner?" when you see them for the first time.
