How dense are asteroid fields and would they pose a problem flying through?

I was watching StarWars episode V and was curious if asteroid fields were seriously that dense? Also am I right in assuming most of the asteroids should be moving in the same direction?

No danger, at least not for an asteroid belt such as the one in our solar system. The average separation between asteroids is approximately 16 times the distance between Earth and the moon. If you  were on a random asteroid,chances are you could not see another asteroid without a telescope.
