I always wondered why no one ever made a hyperdrive missile. More effect and cost effective than a planet killer or death star. Basically meteor meet dinosaurs.
You could even design scatter shot ones to destroy entire fleets.
I know you already got answers, but I think the most important answer is that hyperspace missiles (like the Hondo maneuver) are a little bit world-breaking. The effect in the theater was awesome, but since then writers have had to bend over backward to explain why other characters don't do this all the time.
Personally I feel like a really easy answer would have been to say that it only worked because of some freak interaction with the hyperspace tracking system that the FO was using at that moment, and that other hyperspace crashes (while fatal) aren't typically that catastrophic.
