It is easily conceivable that such a force shield must originate from some
power-generating place (the moon) and be projected to the thing it protects.
Trying to put the generating station on the Death Star would be like sitting
in a car and pushing on the dashboard -- you don't go anywhere.

Also, perhaps the physics of the force shield required the gravity well or
something.  Or more power than the Death Star could conveniently spare.
