Honest question then - would the relatively small rebel (resistance?) ships have enough mass to generate a gravitational field that would have affected those energy bolts? Because they’re in the vacuum of space IIRC.
Star Wars is first and foremost a fantasy series, not proper sci fi. Again, I don’t know the specific thing being referred to here, but this is a film series where people with magic powers fight with swords. Things that look cool take precedence over things that make scientific sense.
What about the lasers with bullet drop in the same movie?
I’m not familiar with that.
Important to recognise they don’t shoot lasers in Star Wars. Their energy bolts have mass.

Erm actually it’s super heated plasma bolts which still have mass and are affected by gravity. At long range a noticable drop is still possible.
