    I don’t really recall any spacewalks so we don’t see any instance of ‘no gravity’

    Leia did one in the sequels.

      I don’t deny the star wars universe is getting a bit more of an update in the cinemas, especially post-Interstellar and whatnot, but space opera in the 80s was really intent on ignoring the stark reality of space for both constraints of filming and viewership. Goddamn fun though.

      Spacewalks are a bad example anyway. A ship’s artificial gravity could extend outside its hull. Conversely, the lack of spacewalks doesn’t mean we aren’t shown the absence of gravity, since we see the ships themselves maneuvering in a way that suggests a lack of gravity.

      Gravity in SW is still kind of fucked, but not “gravity in deep space” fucked.
