[Star Wars] "Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship." How much of a ship can be lost before one must start to worry?

He was cracking a joke to try to defuse the tension in a very dangerous situation. Assuming it wasn't part of the design, it's worrying to lose *any* of your ship. Even if the rest of the ship has power and engines, something has gone horribly wrong and it may cause unforseen problems.

Of course, the ship might have multiple stages in which case losing upwards of 95% of the ship may be expected, and failing to lose it would be cause for concern. Though that's mostly limited to primitive societies. Modern ships do not have to have absurdly high fuel ratios. Not unless you're planning on travelling to another galaxy.
