Plot armor, what else?
The funny thing from someone who read a bunch of the books is that the Imperials had designed and operated new Star Destroyers called Interdictors that could block/stop hyperspace travel (as in literally pull a ship out of hyperspace if it happened to be traveling at light speed through the disruption field or whatever of the Interdictor). They could've easily added that to the film as a minor detail with no disruption and at least made that scene make more sense.
But nope, it's a "chase" with no perceptible strategy.
