Spoiler!

Also I really wish they would stop with the "Jedi/Sith stopping ships from taking off with the force" bit. I mean why does Vader stop that ship, but doesn't even attempt to stop Leia's ship at the beginning of ANH, or attempt to stop the Millenium Falcon from leaving Hoth. And even if we look at the scene in Kenobi why is he able to stop the 1st ship but the 2nd ship behind it somehow he isn't able to stop.

It's already been blown wide open by the Holdo maneuver. At the very least in at least one of those situations Vader let them go with an ulterior motives in mind. If you REALLY need something to explain it away Vader is probably at or near his strongest point in the dark side during that moment due to his hatred of Obi Wan. Got fatigued once and couldn't do it again.
