I seem to recall another version (I thought by the HISHE team) where Moff nukes Yavin itself on the correct theory that destroying the planet would sufficiently wreck if not outright destroy the moon. Granted, the DS should have warped into attack range correctly the first time; but granting the navigation error, I can buy that you couldn't hyperjump it again anytime soon. (...and, maybe that's the reason they didn't just shoot Yavin and kill the moon by secondary action -- would have gotten them, too.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

You're overthinking it. Have some eggnog.

A cooler ending would've been to have the Rebels sabotage the DS's Navigation Jump Thing and have the DS crash into Yavin destroying it. No eggnog for me please.  :clap:

Stagger that is way beyond f-awesome.  Just shared that video with my kids.  Love it and I probably would watch all 60 minutes worth!  LOL
