    So we get to see some interesting Force abilities in the film. I want to focus though, on the Leia scene when she is blasted into space, along with Ackbar and crew. I have watched this movie 4 times now...and on my last viewing, as the Ties fire on the bridge of the Raddus, you get a glimpse of a "pondering" Leia...right before she is sucked into space. What if: she used some force power to help survive that blast, and then because she was in space....need very little effort to reach the ship. Force Coma with a touch of Force launch !!!!

    Also, what would you think if Leia is blasted in space, we see her out there then.......the voice (or force ghost) of Hayden Christiansen appears and says Leia....the force is with you, I am with you. Then her eyes open, and she does her flying nun/Heisman launch back to the ship !!! Powerful???? Or not.??

    Actually, I thought it would have been great if Luke had spoken to her at that part where she was blown out in space ,and then she gathers herself and makes it back.

    Yea, I think that would have been better. Nice thought. I just caught that I had Anakin referring to Leia as "Mother" when really she is his daughter.....LOL. I never get family trees right !!

    It would've been amazing but Kat Kennedy wouldn't allow it : "Rian Johnson explained that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was the inspiration for Leia using her Force Powers"
    If Anakin (I'd like that very much) or the ghost of whoever helps her then she's not a Strong Idependent Woman you see ?
    I'm sure Rian johnson had to fight hard in order to have Luke at the end, I'm sure Kat wanted Leia to march on that "Spark" score to face Kylo with a lightsaber ... And Rey and Holdo too all force choking Kylo ren.

    Maybe not, but the casual Star Wars fans seem to think it was silly

    I totally agree. Out of context for a general audience member, this moment seems a bit fanciful and I have to admit, even I thought the Leia space force pull moment was a bit of a reach on my first viewing. But it was really cool to see Leia finally use her force powers, since we know that she is obviously force sensitive, but never got to see her actually in action.

    The problem is that casual viewers aren't really aware of Leia's force powers, which are extremely subtle in the OT - sensing what Luke is feeling, being aware of where he is in Empire for example. I think there was an assumption made that the audience would understand what was going on. The fault for me lies in one particular shot, with her floating towards the ship - everything else looks great. I do wish they had shown her do something at the moment of impact - force-pushed a button or even created a bubble of air around herself - while conscious. Sadly they may have thought of doing something but with Fisher gone there was no way to do it.

    You know what, the addition of Hayden Christiansen would not have ruined that scene... make of that what you will.
