An object that flies into space (without escaping Earth's gravity well) will just fall back to Earth. To orbit, the object has to have as much "horizontal" velocity as gravity would impart to it "vertically". Orbiting a planet is essentially endlessly falling without getting any lower. | |
| Sep 3, 2018 at 16:04 | comment | added | Alessandro Sanfilippo | @Kyralessa yeah but in that case, wouldnt the bombs just orbit the planet instead of falling down directly into the ship? | |
| Sep 3, 2018 at 14:18 | comment | added | Kyralessa | If there were no gravity in space, satellites and spaceships and space stations wouldn't be able to orbit a planet. | |

| Mar 16, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | Huangism | I think Star wars is more of a fantasy movie than Sci-fi. I mean the girl that dropped the bombs was just laying there when the door to space was open, no suction or anything so I don't think science even plays a role here | |
| Dec 25, 2017 at 16:11 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @Valorum It's the difference between good science fiction and bad. Primary/secondary world features. | |
| Dec 25, 2017 at 14:30 | comment | added | Valorum | @KorvinStarmast - Just because you don't like the technobabble explanation doesn't make it a plot | |
| Dec 25, 2017 at 14:22 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | They fall using the phenomenon known as the plot hole which has less gravity than a black hole but more attractive force than zero gravity. ;) | |
| Dec 22, 2017 at 19:36 | comment | added | Ray | @Allball103 Not very well at all. But do we know she wouldn't have suffocated if the bomber hadn't exploded five seconds after she opened the bay doors? (Or were they opened earlier? If that's the case, my guess is "force fields") | |

| Dec 16, 2017 at 11:09 | comment | added | Essen | Also, there's no back/forth/up/down in space, so the bombers could have flown on the top of target and launched the bombs directly from there. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 21:51 | comment | added | Alessandro Sanfilippo | Why the thumbs down?, I think is a legit question. | |
