Well, the film “flipflops” the logic of the Death Star so to speak. When the Falcon is pulled into the hangar the gravity is clearly downwards;

No, it doesn’t. It’s just a perception illusion. Imagine the hangar the MF is flying into is at the top of the Empire State building. See it? Now imagine the Empire State building has an opening for ships to fly through to land. Is that opening in the roof of the Empire State Building? No. It’s on the side. Like this:

It’s like he says in the video, the film makes up whatever logic it needs to tell an interesting story, as well as be visually interesting.

Hang on a minute, I’m a bit confused. You’re using a picture of a building to disprove the “Death Star is just a big house in space” statement?

Also my point with the image I posted earlier is that they enter by the equator trench, which means that people should be looking up at the Falcon as it enters the hangar bay. However, we can clearly see people standing on the same horizontal plane as the falcon does entering the hangar. They are essentially standing with the south-pole downwards, and the north-pole upwards, and with the Death Star core to their side.

Also how is he shooting out a window on a space-station?

Lasers in the visible spectrum (red) pass through glass. They’re light. Just like your laser pointer.

Are they “lasers” though? The blasters in SW doesn’t really operate on any conventional logic that resembles actual lasers. Again, they’re essentially just regular guns in a sci-fi costume, so make it more interesting. Considering how all the “lasers” in SW explodes everything they come in contact with I hardly see how they can just pass through glass.
