Also the corruption of the ring takes a long time to take full effect and if they were to fly an unmanned ship into mount doom they could make sure that no people were within a certain distance of the ring preventing them from being corrupted. If the seperatist ships and the nazgul can be kept away from the ship then it would be easy to destroy the ship. Also if you are worried about the person putting the ring in the ship have a robot do it i doubt that a robot could be easily corrupted by the ring.

However imagine if star wars and middle earth fought in the first age when melkor and his armies were in power and the rebublic allied with the Noldor and the edain. The corruption is fast enough to turn Smeagol, a normal person, similar to the hobbits, into a murderer who murders his own brother. For drones, the one controlling it would become corrupted. All the time other people near the ship can be corrupted, like Boromir. And it would be very problematic if the ship flies to Mount Doom and then they notice that a corrupted traitor has replaced the ring with a common gold ring at one point.
