"Zips? I was told that was a STRICT no-go sphere when I was working on The Last Jedi. This vexes me," says Chris Weston, an artist who worked connected Episode 8.

The finding of fact

While the rules of Star Wars seem pretty fair – *Edna Mode voice* atomic number 102 zips! – it's also true that the newest chapters in the story of the extragalactic nebula far, far away haven't been claustrophobic to expand on or interchange what came before.
