Leia was not "flying through space like Superman". Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi

Firstly, it's not hard to imagine that in the amount time that's passed between Episode VI and Episode VIII that Luke has trained his sister in the ways of the Jedi, so when we say "Leia was flying through space like Superman" we're just being ignorant. Ignorant of two things:
1) How space works. 2) How The Force works. Now I'm no expert on either of these but I can tell you right now that Leia was not "flying through space like Superman". She was in space and was therefore 'weightless' and simply used The Force to pull herself back to the ship. It's no different to force-pulling a lightsaber out of the snow, but the ligthsaber is a lot lighter, so it goes towards the Jedi rather than vice-verca. Now you may have started wondering something like "Well then why didn't Yoda get pulled towards the X-Wing when he pulled it out of the swamp in Episode V?" (or possibly not because you may not have the level of spatial-awareness* required to make that kind of a leap. I don't know you, so I have no idea, I'm just hypothesising) A) Because he wasn't in the weightlessness of space like Leia was. B) Because it wasn't his will to go towards the X-Wing, but to have the X-Wing levitated out of the swamp. "The Force" is not as hard to understand as people are making it out to be. It's not just "Telekinesis and mind tricks", it's will power on a very massive scale with immediate results. That's all. Nothing more mystical than that. ===== *The ability to understand what two or more objects, concepts, scenarios or themes are and how the relate to each other. A person can, as is my understanding, improve their level of spatial-awareness (aka spatial-reasoning) by practicing solving logic puzzles (whether in real-life or in video-games), or by learning a musical instrument, with the piano being the one that will increase it in the least amount of time in comparison to the amount of time it will be increased learning other instruments.
