“The Force Awakens,” the new episode in the Star Wars film franchise, is not just opening in theaters on Earth, but in space, too. The crew aboard the International Space Station will watch the movie soon, continuing the cross over between the fictional Star Wars universe and real spaceflight. From Darth Vader waking up astronauts to a lightsaber lifting off into orbit, the pull of “The Force” has overcome the force of gravity.
