Nope because we know why Based on Simple Physics plus a bit of Tarkin know-how<speculation>It could explain why Tarkin did jump into a "bad" position with the DS on Yavin 4. Maybe he had no map of the Yavin 4 system...</speculation>
1. Tarkin rules through FEAR of force rather than force itself
2. He belives the DS is un-killable
3. He belives the Rebels think its un-killable
So making a big
SLOW DRAMTIC APPORACH would convice the Rebels to Surrender and Tarkin gets to have people beg which he likes and then blow up the planet anyway
Four is the basic physics of Traveling through Hyperspace
Large objects pull you out of hyperspace and the large you are the farther away you have to drop out of hyperspace
So heres the DS course
(DS)---------------------(Yavin)--- (Y4)

He thinks the Rebels facing his uber battle station will do the smart thing and the thing the've done before and run like hell
Thus this is the single fastest course to get to them and stomp em good!
He COULD come out around the other side but he have to jump PAST Yavin, turn around then jump back the other way, Guessing by the DS size thats about an extra five-ten mins longer than orbiting the planet which explanes why he took the front road he though they would run, ergo get there as fast as possible and that happend to be the direct way
