The Death Star's superlaser didn't have that great a range. Recall how close DS 1 was to Alderaan before it gave the finger. 'Around six planetary diameters, IIRC. Assuming Alderaan is roughly Earth-sized (all "visited" Star Wars planets so far have had amazingly Earth-like gravity and atmosphere), that's still only around 67,000 kilometers.
Does anyone else listen to Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" and think of "Save the Earth?"
