    heh, I’ll be honest, I thought she landed earlier and walked to the door. Less “up and walking around” and more “slumped against a door”.

    It’s been a while since the movie came out, and I haven’t re-watched it, so that’s on me.

      I had to look up the scene to remember what happened.

      It’s amazing how it would have been a very powerful scene had they just let her character die, now it’s a point of contention in the fan base.

      I understand Rian wanting to give Leia her moment, but I feel like that understated her existing role. Leia was already the commander and that had been demonstrated in the originals and the sequels. She didnt need to be a force user to be valuable, but if she was it should have been through a subtle subterfuge or in a commanding manner, not an involuntary life saving throw.
