    Idk how sturdy the warships are built, an f-15 landed with only one wing without even noticing, just some sluggish handling.

    Maybe these ships had so much reserve shielding an backup controll authority that they could land it even as it was disintegrating? Anyway, I always found it awesome rather than emersion breaking.

      Repulsorlifts are the technology that enables ships to hover and fly the way they do. There are typically many across a ship’s structure for redundancy and handling reasons.

      Not to mention that there were two Jedi on board, both of whom would probably be using the Force to pull the ship into a safer crash. We’ve seen Jedi use force powers strong enough to manipulate ships before, so this is not out of the question.

          If it were a single EU Jedi master, the ship wouldn’t have crashed at all.

          I would love to see a high production value movie with the full power of the Jedi/Sith, complete with them ripping star destroyers out of the sky, guiding their ships through hyperspace with the Force alone and closing black holes.
