Fans too often attempt to make the individual films integrate perfectly with each other and identify what they consider bugs in the plot or with technicalities.

Sure…if Vader can just lift bodies in the air like in Rogue One, why didnt he simply lift Luke as he attempted to fall into Cloud City’s central chasm?

The answer is simple…because it would be silly from an artistic standpoint to see Luke take a dramatic stand; let himself fall and then suddenly is just caught and placed right back where he tried to fall from…or even worse maybe Vader could simply levitate him all the way back to his shuttle. But that too would ruin the drama.

Conversely in R1, Vader could simply not levitate the rebel in that corridor. But even more logically consistent would be if he was slow and plodding and actually got hit a few times given that he’s not quite what he once was. But that wouldnt quite make Vader as menacing as his reputation suggested he was.

Both solutions are far more logical and would allow the films to ‘sync up’ better. But would make each scene individually not as good.
