Okay so about the whole "defying the laws of physics" Star Wars thing, here's my (somewhat indecisive) opinion:

First off, it's Science-FICTION. Meaning, lots of it can't actually happen. It's possible that somehow, spacecraft in the Star Wars world can create their own gravity (explaning when they dropped the bombs into outer space) or have an area around it where you don't get sucked into outer space once inside it (explaining when Leia does that stunt where she doesn't die). I mean, since when does the Force obey the laws of physics? Or even lightsabers? Nobody questioned the impossible elements until The Last Jedi.

On the other hand, though, it's SCIENCE-Fiction. Meaning, there should still be set rules for what can and can't happen in this world. It's not pure fantasy, where the age-old excuse of Magic can be thrown around. You have to stick to certain rules when writing SciFi. As I haven't heard a canon, confirmed explanation for the apparently physics-breaking elements of Star Wars, I'd venture to say that the Star Wars universe should explain the scientific rules they were acting by, and then stick to those. It's okay for it not to be completely realistic, but at least keep some continuity.

I agree, though, Star Wars is awesome! The characters, the story, the world.... I baisically grew up on Star Wars, so maybe I'm biased, but in my opinion, it's an awesome universe.
