I'm not familiar with that.

Important to recognise they don't shoot lasers in Star Wars. Their energy bolts have mass.

    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.
