[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8537880, member: 7635"] They walked around inside a giant space-slugs mouth, which apparently was sufficient enough heat and atmosphere to walk around in with just a breath filter. The only character who ever was out in the cold vacuum of space and lived was Leia in Episode 8, and she used her super-special-magical-birthright powers to do that. It was the least egregious, but I still found that no matter how much sunk-cost you put into learning the Force, you end up with far more "Shenanigans" than any non-Force user can accomplish. It doesn't matter how good you are at piloting, if Luke is the only one who can use the Force to hit a thermal exhaust port two-meters wide, you aren't the best pilot. But that's the point; if Luke could use the Force to accomplish exactly what anyone else can do, the Force ain't all the special. The Force, like magic, is magical because it does allow for things normal people can't do. If you want to do those things, you need to either learn magic (have some source of power that makes you supernatural) or use technology (magic in the form of items you can use) to level that playing field.
