While using unnecessary dismissive language at the same time.
I happen to agree that those scenes in the trailer are likely in atmosphere rather than space.

There is def whining in this thread... which is a weird 180 over on mandalorian thread where it was a hyperbolic love fest last I checked (though did see ep 2 and it was a lot better)
There should be reshoots just to incorporate this guy...
He’d be what? 80? Still a toddler?

And if the thrust from the Falcon's engines are knocking the troopers back, why is the Falcon stationary?
Yes, it's a space fantasy, but stuff like this (gravity bombs in space...) just pulls you right out of the story. I'm sure someone can/will come up with some elaborate explantion, but it's still bad writing.
Except "gravity bombs" could easily be explained with a basic understanding of physics, not an elaborate PHD depth of knowledge.
Who said it was stationary? Even if it was it could be spooling them up whilst Rey jumps to safety then after those few seconds, it then moves away? A less than a second look doesn't provide anything beyond a visual.

That would make Rey 30 years old at the time of TFA.

He's 50. But still he's toddler with no training! What a Gary Stu!

But what if the bombs where propelled? Like magnetically propelled? I mean it's not the first time we've seen bombs "falling" in space.
What you refer to as whining is mostly critical thought, but you are entitled to your opinion. Plus the love fest going on over in the Mandalorian thread is proof that that when the script is good, the fans will be on board. I personally can't attest to the show's quality because I haven't seen it, but from most accounts it's far better than the ST.
Damn, I gotta admit that baby Yoda is freaking adorable.
If what I've heard about 9 comes to pass.....
Man. It is going to be so much worse than you can possibly imagine.

Not if the pod keeps her in stasis for lack of a better word. Clone or whatever to a certain point and put on ice so to speak until they're ready to proceed.
You're right on thatHe's 50. But still he's toddler with no training! What a Gary Stu!
and I mentioned in the Mando thread that baby Yoda could cause some problems that way as Rey has.

You're right on that
I think that the baby Yoda is simply a clone of Yoda which would explain his usage of the force. But we'll see, maybe he's a Gary Stu. But at least he's fun to watch and his character seems to have an arc.
Yeah if they can explain it somehow, then I'm willing to go with it. Plus he's so freaking adorable.
They don't have to be propelled. Once an object is travelling in a direction, it will continue to travel until another force is acted upon it. The bombs fell from within a ship that had strong enough gravity to stand upright (and to fall off a ladder), therefore when they entered space, they would continue to have that momentum i.e. falling from the ship.
It really is basic physics that even my 11 year old is being taught right now

That would work too. But the actual canon answer is they are magnetically propelled.

But this is why I have issues with the second half of the movie. In the first half of the movie it’s basic real world space physics 101 with momentum and movement in space. Surely then the issue of running out of fuel would not be so burning (no pun intended), because the ships can just do the same: reach top speed, turn off the engines and go by momentum only needing engines to course correct.
I know SW is not proper scifi, we have sound in space, lightbeam that stops at around a metre to form a baton, hyperspace (whatever it is) etc and all ships always had their engines on in every movie because they were emulating old school dogfights but it’s still a contradiction within a single film on how things move in space.

It's not a contradiction.
MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 heavy bomber
The MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 heavy bomber, also known as the B/SF-17 heavy bomber, was a model of heavy bomber manufactured by Slayn & Korpil for use by the New Republic during the late stages of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Galactic Concordance and New Republic disarmament, the ship...
starwars.fandom.com
The modular bombing magazine, called the "clip" by the bomber's crew,[1] would drop the bombs through sequenced electromagnetic plates in the clip, which propelled the bombs to "drop" in microgravity environments. The bombs would then be drawn magnetically to their targets.
