Leia returning in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi was always going to be bittersweet. Carrie Fisher&🅠rsquo;s untimely passing 𒈔in December 2016 left a gaping hole in a galaxy far, far away. However, many fans are none-too-pleased with one of Leia’s big moments in the movie, and Rian Johnson has felt the need to explain what went down. There are spoilers for The Last Jedi from this point on.

Speaking to the , the catalyst for Leia surviving the explosion on the bridge after being launched into space by using the Force to ‘fly’ back onto the ship came from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm President Kath🍌leen Kennedy, according to Rian Johnson. Kennedy asked “Why has [the Force] never manifested in Leia?”

For Leia, it was merely “an instinct survival thing, like when you hear stories of a parent whose toꦰddler is caught under a car and they get superhuman strength,” Johnson explains. “It’s basical🐟ly just her not being done with the fight yet.”

Although it’s a fairly solid explanation, Johnson himself admits that he knew that “it was going to be a stretch… and I’m sure it will land different 𝔉ways for different people.” People were right to be a bit confused – it was ne༒ver mentioned again after all, plus the SFX looked a bit janky – but using it as a stick to beat the movie with is a bit much. 

It was great that Leia got her own iconic moment after practically being either a disapproving mum to Han and L𒐪uke or an object of desire in the original trilogy. For better or worse, it was certainly unforgettable.
