    Oh, see I actually meant Admiral Ackbar 😂

    But yeah her too. Really tho having her blown out during decompression was THE WAY to give her a solid heartfelt death, only then to suddenly have her display wild Jedi powers she never hinted at before was a choice.

      Oh, hah. Fair.

      As for the space walk, that choice was definitely made before her death, and while it would have made a good point to add it in, it would still require significant changes to the ending. It is unfortunate, but I don’t think it’s fair to hang that on Rian.

        It wouldn’t have taken all that much to make that her exit from the series. The edits might have been a bit rough, but it was very doable.

      I’ll push back on “never hinted at” because way back at Bespin she was force-sensitive enough to find Luke under the city.

        Also, Luke straight up predicts she’ll be as powerful him and their father in RotJ. It didn’t come out of nowhere.
