It is generally not a good idea to "blow to bits" the object around which you
are in close orbit.  The Death Star kept a good distance from Organa, you
recall. But they were actually in orbit around the Rebel Base's primary.

Also, presumably, maneuver drive is Newtonian, while interstellar drive isn't.
There is a substantial technology difference between them. Just because you
can go fast in one mode doesn't mean you can go fast in another.
