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.
Or more general: Space travel isn't just about speed.
