I don't think it's silly to be frustrated by it, also I think it's fine to think it's no big deal. This has been discussed pretty much to death by this point but I think what it comes down to is different people have different levels they are willing to take their suspension of disbelief to during a movie and that's fine. For me, it was a frustrating but beautiful scene that seemed to cause a lot of important plot points even in other movies to no longer really make sense (why go for the death star exhaust with a fighter squadron when you can have a ship hyperdrive through the middle of it for example). Maybe I was already biased against it and it wouldn't have been a big deal in isolation, but taken with everything else that had happened up to that point made it more frustrating, I don't know.

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to look past it and just enjoy the scene as it was intended, I wouldn't wish disappointment on anyone but unfortunately that's mostly what I got from this scene and the sequel trilogy as a whole.
