Some more anecdotal evidence: Vornskrs use the Force to locate their prey (nothing definite is ever stated but it seems to be species-wide), and the Gotal are said to have a moderately useless form of Force sensitivity (apparently they get a headache in the presence of Force users).

And that's just the distance; Kyp would need to pull it against not only Yavin's gravity, but the enormous pressure of the atmosphere of Yavin. To be fair, he was boosted by Exar Kun (who while alive could use the force to obliterate multiple stars at once), but it is still an incredible feat. I don't know if Luke has done anything comparable to that.
WEG RPG rules also allows you to use the force on a wholly different planet. In theory, anywhere in the galaxy if you are good enough. Though TK is not covered by this as far as I recall. You could, however, move a capship with TK.
Wasn't Kyp boosted by the "focusing power" of the Massassi temples?

In my opinion, a true TK user manipulates their enviornment with the power of their mind. If Luke crushes a ship with his "mind", it may be his thoughts guiding and commanding the Force, but the true power of the act is derived from the Force itself. Take away the Force and Luke can think and gesture at the ship all he wants, but it'll just sit there and smile at him.
