‘The Force’ is also part of the reason the stormtroopers can’t shoot. Evidently it can also interact at times and intervene in certain things. I’m currently reading the books to actually get a better understanding of all this.

This is funny.

We need to keep him entertained.

Once propelled from the bridge by the explosion, she wouldnt have ever stopped unless she hit something, or gravity from something bigger pulled her in that direction. 


When Leia was blown out into space, she used the Force to reel her back in.  I will now explain this to those who  :headscratch:.


Within the vacuum of space, there is a sub-layer of micro cosmic radiation.  Leia summoned the Force to grab onto these particles and floated upon them like people crowd surfing from stage diving.  The particles thus formed a link back to the ship.

Guys, Guys.. your perspective is all wrong.

Leia brought the ship to her.. just like Yoda extracting the X-wing on Dagobah.

Think of the Force as an invisible treadmill.  The ship can do anything but take off.  Or, at least that's what I heard....

Honestly, my biggest problem is that there's clearly lag-time in the New Order's tracking capabilities. They could have avoided the problem by making a jump to a random location, and then immediately making another while the enemy battlecruisers are still in hyperspace.

Not enough fuel for two jumps? Bring everyone on board the main cruiser, and drain fuel off the escorts.

Need more time lag? The First Order battlecruisers are something on the order of three times the mass, and the Alliance cruisers are supposed to have some ludicrously strong shielding. Come about, and make your jump through the First Order fleet, and make your second jump with the time they took to swing those four-mile-long ships around to your vector.

Like this was never a problem that needed a special solution for, only something that should already be standard protocol in a universe where you can be tracked.


Other than the need for some serious suspension of disbelief, it was alright. The villans have been rather weak in this trilogy so far. There's not much of a sense of urgency.

Yeah, General Hux has proven to be quite useless. Vader would have choked him out long before TFA.

About the only thing I liked about TLJ was the sound Hux's face made when Snoke force smushed it into the nice shiny black Star Destroyer deck.

But will it take off if the force matches the ships propulsion system on the invisible treadmill?

I watched this. Pretty spot on, and the reason I didn't enjoy TLJ as much as I hoped I would. Incidentally, for the abbreviated version, go watch the "How It Should Have Ended" for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCB8DUGpYQQ). Not sure which video came first, but both came to some of the same conclusions.
