Why the hell did they not just go directly at the spot from space instead of spending ten minutes flying around the fucking ground through enemy fire? 
And r2d2 took a direct laser from a fighter to the head and it was barely a flesh wound
NO SPOILERS BRO!
Girly - Why the hell did they not just go directly at the spot from space instead of spending ten minutes flying around the fucking ground through enemy fire?
They were flying below all the turrets above the trench on the surface.
DaveFu -You can see they can clearly go up and down on the surface. Why start so damn far away? And you're telling me Vader couldn't just unload. Weapons directly behind them and blow them all the fuck up? Between the shitty aim of storm troopers and all the weapons on the Death Star missing them, I find this whole story hard to believeGirly - Why the hell did they not just go directly at the spot from space instead of spending ten minutes flying around the fucking ground through enemy fire?

How do I know you're gay?

Why is the only way to solve problems in that universe with violence? It's a stupid war picture for kids. Quit overthinking it.
1chaino -The fuck is a want rat??

You can't just take light speed right to the exact spot u need to shoot from, and it wouldn't be that precise at that speed to avoid overshooting and being smashed into bits
Jedi mind trick bs, never really happened. Death star is still going strong. Dont believe everything you see sucka.
ocbadapple - You can't just take light speed right to the exact spot u need to shoot from, and it wouldn't be that precise at that speed to avoid overshooting and being smashed into bitsDid Vader not get bumped into empty space before Luke hit that shot? Again Why did they start so damn far out? Doing the math in size of Death Star and speed they were going they probably would have gone around the whole damn thing.
A straight up assault would've been suicide.
Hundreds of turbolaser turrets dotting the surface all firing at the same small group of Rebels, with Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers swarming them simultaneously. Compare that with running the trench with a few dozen turrets.
Here's an idea
Set the millennium falcon on light speed setting and aim it at the Death Star. Have luke and Leila pick you up from outside the falcon. Have a remote control ready.
Press the button. Kaboom. The energy released from an object like the falcon hitting the Death Star at light speed would be insane. Literally like the power of a sun colliding with it.

tonberry - A straight up assault would've been suicide.They were tailed with only 10-15 feet to move around down there. They should have been blown to pieces a thousand times over. Just fucking unload on them from behind. They gave the imperial force like 10-15 minutes of prep time. They should have had a wall of ship waiting at the whole to block hit and to blow the fuck out of them.

Yeah it was a risky move, but same as in ROTJ the main attack was meant as a diversion to buy them time. It wasn't until the Empire got wise to the plan did they go after them. There wasn't room for a dozen ships from either side. Running from the main battle would've gotten the TIE fighters shot to pieces from behind. Might as well send Vader and his elite pilots.
