Star Wars May the 4th be with you (Spoilers)

I agree with some of you that they should've let her die in space. She was pointless after that but then how would we have reunited her with Luke?

Well, Luke wasn't really there, was he? It was a projection of him, he was still on his yoga perch on the mountain.

They could have had Luke 'talking' to Leia while she was floating in space (the same way he heard Obi Wan's voice in IV). The last thing she would have heard before passing would have been Luke's voice.

I really hated the Mary Poppins In Space scene. Apart from the fact that it made zero sense for Leia to suddenly have these powers out of nowhere, it felt like they missed a perfect chance to write her out of the script. No disrespect to Carrie Fisher, but was there any need for her to be in the film at all after that point? 
Plus, it would have solved the obvious problem of how to deal with Leia in Episode 9

She has been in touch with the Force for more than 30 years, you don't think she toyed with some light telekinesis in that time?  She clearly didn't shut herself off from the Force, there are scenes which show she is still in touch.
It literally makes more sense than saying the powers are sudden and from nowhere.

She has been in touch with the Force, and she has 'felt' things, but we've never actually seen her use it. If she had toyed with it, why not show it in a previous scene? If not in TFA, then at least an earlier scene in TLJ. I think it's fair to feel that it's a bit of a stretch to just spring this ability on us.

I disagree, we can't have a scene of exposition for every such possibility.  In TFA she is shown to still be very connected to the Force, and light telekinesis is known to be a Padawan level skill.

Is flying through space like a superhero really just "light telekinesis"? I get the idea that she simply latched onto the ship the way Luke latched onto his lightsaber in Empire. Still, he didn't fly through space like that. We've never seen anyone fly through space like that in a Star Wars movie. Maybe in one of the cartoons that I've never seen, perhaps.

Zero G (mostly) vacuum, shouldn't take but a nice sharp tug comparable to Padawan skills.
Jedi jump 20-30 feet in gravity, that's a far greater feat.

Assuming neither the explosion nor the vacuum didn't kill her instantly. Assuming she was somehow conscious in space to use these Padawan level skills. All of this makes it much harder than a trained Jedi jumping through gravity.

I just got back from seeing it the second time.
I enjoyed it more this time.

I don’t care what her force abilities are or how powerful she is.  That scene was just plain dumb.
