In my opinion, TFN is hovering because the sun , this year, is showing a variance of 5.78 degrees in its orbit. As a result, the Millenium Falcon, along with Luke Skywalker and the concentration of the Force within him, are delayed in its approach. As a result, the glob aliens on the Simpsons are hovering in orbit and Tom Cruise battles the Tripods with his samurai training.
It'll all work out when the residents of the ocean move across the Panama canal and shift the Earth's weight to compensate for the variance.
