Not hard to find one of those in space. Just get an asteroid, attach a hyperdrive to it, and then vrrrooooommmmm! Enemy destroyed.

I think the issue is finding enough fuel to get it going that fast. The whole plot of Solo is that due to war and instability, fuel for ships was a scarce and expensive commodity controlled by organized crime with the Empire hoarding the bulk of the supply to run their military. Perhaps the issue is that the Resistance simply could never supply themselves with enough fuel to power a massive hyperdrive asteroid into something. Then again, how could the Empire power the Death Star? Who knows? Rian Johnson really opened up a can of worms.
