I plan on cutting the wide shot of her actual “flying”, as well as the close up on her face of her eyes opening.
We will see her floating in space for moment, then her hand opens slightly, and behind her hand the stars will begin to move. Cut to the shot of our heroes aboard the ship looking amazed and then running to the door where her hand appears on the window.
It preserves Leia’s great force moment, but eliminates the awkward execution.
