Re: The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!*
The Force is an imaginary magical power. We’ve already accepted it as a thing in these movies, but how could we know the limits to this imaginary force?
We don't know the limits as such..but it's about consistency.
These movies are informed by the series of movies before them - the characters - the situations they are in - they are supposed to be continuations not a complete reboot - so thus we have a sense of what's possible from the previous movies.
Really we know what we've seen to be possible, AND what the last characters in similar situations DID do.
It's logical that unseen abilities or a stronger person might exist.
But these need to be explained in the context of the wider story.
Otherwise we're left to believe either that some characters are just inexplicably strong (even though this is not justified in the plot and indeed runs contrary to the plot of the older films) or we have to wonder if prior characters could have used similar abilities but simply failed to do so (which also doesn't make plot sense when you look at all the films together.)
The closest we have is

Flying Leia was the most absurd thing I've seen in a film in years. I wasn't the only one in the theater laughing at the stupidity.
Eh, I still think Rey using a Jedi mind trick and using a lightsaber like she spent years in training is the most absurd. But yea, Leia not immediately losing consciousness as every ounce of fluid erupted from every pore and orifice in the vacuum of space was a bit much.

Such a perfect opportunity to end her character ... wasted on a completely unbelievable twist ... unbelievable even in a star wars universe
Yep that's when I thought they would have ended her, which would have been perfect. Instead.......

Yup, I thought the same thing. She didn't even do much afterwards but have some ridiculous grand scheme to end up in the cave. It was too big of a push to try and show how brilliant she was... On top of flying.

An interesting article here on the financials of TLJ. Seems to be some credible guesstimates.
AN AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO 80% PROFIT OF THE FORCE AWAKENS – FROM ALL VENUES AND PLATFORMS WORLDWIDE – IS MISSING FROM THE LAST JEDI’S BALANCE SHEET.

When I have some time, I'll create a thread on this...if someone else wants to start it, that's fine too. My thread will be "How I Would Have Done Star Wars Episode VIII" and it will probably be a long post.
Jesus Christ please don’t.
