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.

That's an interesting idea. Done right that could have been beautiful.

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.

Anybody ever think it was weird when they say "may the force be with you" and NOBODY has the force? It was an old and dead religion/power that hasn't been around for 2 generations sans Luke and Vader.

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 was flagging on the treadmill today after only 10 minutes, so I hopped on YouTube and dialed up a compilation of all the lightsaber duels in Star Wars and the next 40 minutes just melted away incredibly fast.
I think I'll find a compilation of sword fights from movies like 300 and Troy (which sucked but had great fight choreography) for the next time I'm struggling.

There are some really cool fan-made Star Wars lightsaber battles on there too for those interested, Darth Maul vs 5 Jedi is a really good one.

I saw one the other day of Obi Wan vs Vader in New Hope remade by fans. Pretty cool.

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

Eh. Meh. LOL

Suspension of disbelief is pretty strong already in the Star Wars Universe, this isn't a stretch for me.

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

Did you have to fight the urge to laugh out loud during the Princess' Space Crawl?
I liked the first and think I will like more on the 2nd viewing as well.

dankind · January 2018

Not a single thing about this film bothered me. I enjoyed the hell out of every scene. Twice! (So far.)

It's Star Wars, for crying out loud.

If some of the stuff y'all are harping on would have happened in Star Trek, I'd be on blast, but this is a big dumb space opera with intergalactic wizards and laser swords. It's neato!

F Me In The Brain · January 2018

Impressed it took this long for you to finally drop the Star Wars stinks when compared to Star Trek gauntlet.

Personally, I side with Wars over Trek....but I do love them both.
