Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

Unlike film scenes, a human doesn't die instantly in space. It's not impossible for a brief exposure to it doing nothing but minor damage. Nobody seems bothered that radiation seems to have no adverse effects on the characters in space, yet are incredulous over other aspects.
 
The problem is you can’t use the concept of a person moving in space using inertia in weightless environment in the first half of your movie and then base the other half of your movie on ships in the same environment running out of fuel and discarding inertia in weightless environment.
Not to mention the airlock issue in the ruined bridge but that’s a small nit.
 
Pretty sure that with every movie we see Jedi do something we hadn't seen them previously do.

I'm sorry, when did Leia become a Jedi…..? I must have missed that film.

Quoted for the truth.

Verisimilitued Mr. Ruin Johnson, VER-I-SI-MILI-TUDE!
For fox sake
 
If people like the idea that's fine. I just find it absurd. To its credit there are some cool looking shots in the trailer. That white room where Rey and Kylo cut down that shroud to Vader still looks gorgeous.

Except space isn't weightless, and a body moves when a force is exerted onto it. The force in question in your point was the Force. Whether people like it or not is separate to whether it can or can't be done, when it clearly can as it happened.

My point specifically wasn't about that scene. It was about the Rey scene in the new teaser, and that contrary to popular belief, it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that a human won't instantaneously die in space

Yeah, this is true - IIRC consciousness would be lost within 10-15 seconds, and if the person manages to remember not to hold their breath, their lungs won't explode from depressurization. Contrary to movies that depict bodies freezing instantaneously, since space lacks sufficient air molecules to transmit rapid temperature changes, even though it's bloody cold a body wouldn't necessarily lose heat right away - that heat can't radiate easily, or vice versa. TL;DR, if somebody got spaced and rescued within a minute or less, they'd stand a good chance of being resuscitated, but they'd likely still have injuries.

Hence why I could buy a certain Force-enhanced survival technique if done a bit more logically - but that Jedi or Force-user better be prepared, because once they're tossed out there in the void they can't make air out of...thin air, lol. Survival and using the Force in this scenario is all about retaining enough consciousness for concentration and making use of less hostile surroundings before getting into vacuum.

If we're not talking Force, then a regular person might be able to pull a Teaser Rey if whatever void jump they're attempting is really within that 10-second window and they're intercepted immediately. It'd be super unpleasant, to say the least, but probably not deadly if they're healthy and fit. They might just get cancer a few decades from then. :p

(Regarding the radiation factor, I figure it's technological handwaving that GFFA ships are built with some sort of sufficient radiation shielding to allow travelers to be protected, whether it's freighters or capital ships or snubfighters.)
 
I'm over my own bitching about ep8. There is some great scenes and some great moments in the movie which make up for the ridiculous stuff. Just that one scene with Luke and R2 reuniting and R2 replaying Leia's message from ANH makes the whole movie.
I don't have high expectatins for ep9 but i hope at least there might be a few more special moments before this saga comes to a close.

She didn't. I was referring to Force "powers". It remains to be seen or explained just when she attained the training, but I didn't personally find it too much of a leap in logic to deduce that Luke had spent some time instructing her. It's not like her connection to the Force hasn't been shown before.

If people like the idea that's fine. I just find it absurd.
Like harrisonp said, the execution of the shot wasn't the best, and I wouldn't say I like the idea, but I'm also not super hung up on it. I don't like the way the Ewoks were executed, and comparatively they get A LOT of screen time in ROTJ, but that doesn't ruin the rest of the movie for me.

No one mentioning Finn out in the vacuum of space on the landing door either? Or is there a magic air bubble around the Falcon? Maybe thats not visible in the pan/scan version.

I know you wouldn’t instantly die or explode or turn into a frog like Arnie in Total Recall when you’re exposed to space. I merely commented on another aspect of the scene. I didn’t even direct quote you.
 
Watched a vid yesterday that was supposedly from a source connected to test screenings. By and large everything said lined up pretty well with what we see in the trailer and the leaks so far... It sounds so unbelievably horrible that I cant even begin to imagine how I'm not going to die laughing in the theater over the absurdity of it all. I really hope its all wrong and misinformation but given JJ's past films and how boxed into a corner TLJ put this trilogy, it seems VERY plausible it's all true..

 
TLJ did box them into an impossibly tight corner- by all rights they should be spending their time getting out of that corner with this movie and setting the stage up properly to have the next one do a grand wrap up of the Skywalker saga.
 
How exactly has TLJ boxed in TROS?
By needing this one film to do the work of an entire trilogy in just 2.5-3hrs


Just that one scene with Luke and R2 reuniting and R2 replaying Leia's message from ANH makes the whole movie.

Yeah I loved that scene where we got to see Luke reacting to learning that his best friend just got murdered

Real tear jerker that one

I saw a friend today who plays a character in TROS. They told me that JJ hated TLJ and had reversed most things Rian did. They were pretty adamant about it. This can only compound the series as disjointed/ inconsistent/ unplanned.
