Space is called space for a reason. Even in real life asteroid rich orbits the odds of hitting something are very low. Pulp sci-fi asteroid fields like the ones depicted in Star Wars are just not a thing. Outside the inner solar system the odds of hitting anything are so low the risk doesn't really rank in comparison with things like major equipment failure in transit.
