   I can't find it now, but someone recently complained about the new Star   
   Wars movie using bombers in space where there is "no gravity" (despite   
   bombers also being in 'The Empire Strikes back').   
      
   According to 'The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary' book:   
      
       "Resistance Bombers   
        Bombs don't technically "drop" in microgravity,   
        but are impelled from their racks by sequenced   
        electromagnetic plates in the clip. The bombs   
        are then drawn magnetically to their unfortunate   
        targets."
