Oh, see I actually meant Admiral Ackbar πŸ˜‚

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.

Pretty sure that’s just a normal ability for twins /s
