Ever heard of suspension of disbelief?
I don’t necessarily agree with Dom’s premise here about that ESB scene in particular
Things about the sequence that are never explained: what the giant circular chasm is, the purpose of the gantry, why it’s connected to the carbon freezing chamber, what the tunnels that Luke falls through are, why Luke falls through a random tunnel and not just down the shaft, why the tunnel pops him out directly on to a weather vane, etc. These are all things fans today would nitpick and claim are convenient plot holes. Obviously if you use your imagination and think about it there are plenty of possible explanations, but people seem to want stuff like this spelled out to them.
I’d say there are quite a few things that fans complain about in TLJ are far easier to ‘just go with’ than this sequence. I mean just look at the falling bombs complaint, ESB has multiple instances of gravity in space.
