It looks like astronauts will be able to watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi in space, but we aren't sure if it will be this weekend or not. Spaceflight reporter Robin Seemangal has confirmed (via Twitter) that the crew aboard the Internation Space Station will be watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
“I received confirmation from Disney and NASA sources that the crew aboard the International Space Station will be screening Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
Nas has confirmed this report to Inverse, stating that they don't know when yet, but that the astronauts will be able to watch it from orbit.
“[I] can confirm the crew will be able to watch it on orbit… Don’t have a definitive timeline yet. They typically get movies as digital files and can play them back on a laptop or a standard projector that is currently aboard.”
Hopefully, Disney managed to work up a digital copy of the film for NASA to send the astronauts.
