There's going to be a 'Last Jedi' screening on the International Space Station

There's no truer commitment to Star Wars than watching the newest movie while actually in space. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are planning a special screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi while orbiting the Earth. This is a much more enticing option than the previously screened Gravity.

We don't know exactly when or how, but a NASA representative confirmed to Mashable that the ISS crew will indeed watch The Last Jedi.

"They typically get movies as digital files and can play them back on a laptop or a standard projector that is currently aboard," NASA's Dan Huot told Mashable.

Star Wars isn't the most accurate franchise when it comes to space travel, but it's also set a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The technology and physics feel far more removed from our known universe and scientific law, while a movie like Gravity or The Martian feels too close to home — especially if you're a long way from it.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi releases Dec. 15.
