Since people are still bickering over it in the QTs of this very tweet, it's always bugged me so much when people are like "then why didn't the resistance do this all the time" because there are like a million in-text obvious reasons https://t.co/YmpSO4WFSl

1) It was effective but didn't vaporize the first order ship or anything, we literally saw characters in rooms that were struck get up and walk around after, I think the First Order's insurance company would later declare the ship totaled but it didn't secure immediate victory

2) Meanwhile it destroyed a really big Resistance ship and killed the pilot. So even pretending the maneuver COULD instantly vaporize the enemy ship, that's not strategically ideal against an enemy that outnumbers you in ships and people 10000 to 1

3) The hyperspace tech isn't real so we can only speculate, but contextually it seems like if the ship had been pointed 1 inch in the wrong direction, or made the jump 2 seconds earlier or later, it wouldn't have struck at all, implying some level of luck/skill

4) There's literally a line of dialogue where the bad guys are like "doesn't look like she's doing anything of consequence, don't bother diverting fire to that ship," but presumably after it's already happened once, they will now just notice and shoot down ships trying to do this

@JennyENicholson You can send unmanned "ships" to do this, would be trivial, you can also aim hyperspace paths from far outside a ships guns reach. It would literally make so much more sense to just shoot unmanned hyperspace missiles at fleets as soon as you know where they are. What else ya got?
