No, Rian, Force Flight is an abomination

SPOILERS for Disney's Weekend at Yoda's 2: The Next Cash-In

So in The Next Cash-In, Princess Leia is killed. She is blasted out into space and dies horribly. Then she wakes up and Mary Poppinses her way back onto her ship, where they open the door and are not all blasted out into space to die horribly.

There are at least three reasons why this is incredibly stupid. One, instead of giving Leia a shocking and moving death scene, you now have to kill her off between films. Two, how the fuck did she get back on board without blowing everyone else out into space?

Three: Force Flight is an abomination that goes against everything established in the existing canon.

It's this third one I want to talk about.

It's not that Force Flight doesn't make sense given what we know about Force powers. If you can levitate an X-Wing, it stands to reason that you could also levitate yourself. The problem is, we know for a fact that this is impossible. There must be some one-sentence explanation about how you can't channel that particular Force power into yourself, you have to direct it to something else.

If Force Flight is not a thing (and it is not), then all you have to do is come up with an explanation like the one I gave above. If Force Flight is a thing (and, again, it is not), then you have to explain why it was not used in the following scenarios:

• When Darth Maul is kicking Jedi off catwalks on Naboo
• When Obi-Wan is falling to his death in Coruscant traffic
• In the droid factory playground on Geonosis
• Going up the elevator shaft on General Grievous's flagship
• Going down the elevator shaft on General Grievous's flagship
• When clones shoot a dinosaur out from Obi-Wan and he falls a mile into a lake
• When Yoda and Palpatine are fighting in the Senate Rotunda
• When Anakin is sunbathing on the banks of a Mordor riverbed
• When Luke is dangling from a Cloud City weathervane
• When Vader chucks Palpatine down a reactor shaft

And let's not forget that you've created TEN plot holes for the sole purpose of giving one character a few more minutes of screen time, knowing perfectly well that you're not going to have her around in Weekend at Yoda's 3: Countdown to Reboot.

This is the difference between George Lucas's Ego Trip (the prequels) and Disney's Weekend at Yoda's (the sequels). The prequels were merely bad movies in their own rights. The sequels, if they are canon, retroactively ruin all of the movies that came before them.
