Maybe this isn't the full scene, but it shows her getting blasted into space unconscious, eyes bolt open and she flies through space, then she's on the ship unconscious. So like, I guess maybe technically she was conscious during the flying, but that's still pretty weak.

heh, I'll be honest, I thought she landed earlier and walked to the door. Less "up and walking around" and more "slumped against a door".

It's been a while since the movie came out, and I haven't re-watched it, so that's on me.

I had to look up the scene to remember what happened.

It's amazing how it would have been a very powerful scene had they just let her character die, now it's a point of contention in the fan base.

I understand Rian wanting to give Leia her moment, but I feel like that understated her existing role. Leia was already the commander and that had been demonstrated in the originals and the sequels. She didnt need to be a force user to be valuable, but if she was it should have been through a subtle subterfuge or in a commanding manner, not an involuntary life saving throw.
