I thought "They fly now" was humorous.

Space Leia was terrible.

I don't really know why "they fly now" has gotten this far. It's a harmless trailer line.

Leia in space was beautiful and transcendent. I pity people who didn't appreciate it.

Because it ignores a shitload of previously established Star Wars material for the sake of a bad joke

Like it's not absolutely terrible but it's definitely not good

Leia Poppins. Watch out for the Poppins.

Apparently you don't need to spend decades training in the ways of the Force to use it. You just acquire the knowledge whenever you want or need it.

"They fly now" is the litmus test for whether you're just complaining to complain, imo.

My problem with the Leia scene is people barely seem to react to it. The whole "Force" thing is supposedly mythical at this point, and yet people barely acknowledge this astounding, death-defying feat?

They fly now is because because it shows that don't care about lore.

The Flying Leia is horrible because even with in the lose physics allowed in any space movie, and Star Wars. That even breaks all of those rules so many times over.

Thats absolutely what it is. There is nothing wrong with that line and that scene lol. Guarantee that if there was something like that in The Mandalorian, people would be drooling over what a clever line that is!

They are both pretty awful, but for different reasons.

The first is just the sign of the "lazy humour" that ignores what the characters would know for a not even good joke.

Floating Leia is floating Leia. What more do you need to say about how god awful that scene was?

Leia flying isn't bad in concept (the EU has Force Users doing far more ridiculous shit), but the execution was pretty shoddy.

The "They fly now" ignored lore but whatever, it was a throwaway gag anyway.

People always say they fly now iGnOrEs LoRe but.. how? I dont remember Rey, Finn, or Poe encountering jet troopers at all. I could be mis-remembering though.

I mean, there are jet troopers in Clone Wars? Idk really it feels like a nitpick I'm surprised its gotten this far. Its also sequel hate-because 11 of the 16 scenes left in the bracket are from the sequels. Heck, the only one from the OT is a Lucas add-in.

Leia Poppins was a silly scene, but it did its job well enough of removing Leia for the movie because Poe needed a different character in authority to contrast with, and needed to hurt her to further Kylo's story arc, but there's a lot different they could have done there. But they could always have had her be in the explosion or something and have her not force-fly around back to safety too.

The Leia scene is one of the worst things in Star Wars.

"They fly now" is just a stupid joke and Star Wars has a lot of those.

clone troopers are clones of Django Fett, a mandalorian tho. and they're not stormtroopers.
but my question was there any stormtroopers with jetpack in the current canon? remember that Disney has rendered the EU stuffs as non canon now.

btw, Leia scene would be much better if it was shown she was pulling the ship towards her, not her flying towards the ship.

I really can't get my head around what people thought was bad about Leia floating through space. It nearly made me cry from how beautiful it was.

But this isnt The Clone Wars. Is there ANY canon material that takes place before Rise of Skywalker that states that Rey, Poe, or Finn had seen a jet-trooper.

Angry internet nerds are the worst lol. Yall are so ready to find flaws in ANYthing for the sake of finding flaws because its more fun to bitch about something I guess?

There are also Jedi in Clone Wars, and nobody remembers them.
