Or, because it's just a movie and no one really gives a damn about relativity, the conservation laws and/or the work-energy theorem. I have to give the script writers and producers credit, though, with respect to the last film and the star-sucking planet, which I didn't really understand and/or realize until I got home later in the evening after seeing it. The intense, fantastic speech by the Imperial officer was too much of a distraction to the inevitable physics contemplation that would take place later on. I can excuse FTL travel, but not the abrogation of universal gravitation.
