Like the Leia getting force powers out of nowhere in space. Sheesh.
You're viewing a single thread.
She uses her powers to find Luke at the end of Episode V. (The scene you described is weird nonetheless)
The whole "REEEEE SINCE WHEN DOES LEIA HAVE FORCE POWERS?!??!" shit is just...goddamn it
There was SO MUCH wrong with that movie, and you picked the most obvious, easily explained, not-in-any-way-a-plot-hole scene?
It had to be people who never actually saw the original trilogy. That's the only explanation.
How could the daughter of the most powerful force-user possibly have Force powers?
It's truly baffling.
Well, we'd already found out who's Luke's dad, so the film ended with a cliff hanger which would get people talking: why was she able to hear Luke?
I'm more mad at the execution than the fact they did it. No build up to it, and you can practically see the wire.
The issue I had with that particular scene is not that she had force powers. She comes from a force-sensitive family, so her having latent force powers makes sense. Key word here being "latent".
What absolutely did NOT make any fucking sense is A: Leia not dying of asphyxiation when she enters the vacuum of space and B: Leia just happening to know how to use force pull without any prior training. Like, they don't even try to hand-wave it off by saying something like "Oh, she spent some time training with Luke when you weren't looking" or something.
She did spend time training with Luke when you weren’t looking. I mix up canon and legends but I’m pretty sure the same thing happens in both, more or less - she learns quite a lot of the basics from Luke until she has a vision of her son dying at the “end of her Jedi path”, and in both Legends and Canon that vision is fulfilled.
