Not saying he isn't using the force to make his cape billow, but he's definitely not in a vacuum

Right. I doubt that ship even has Megamaid capabilities!

She's turned from suck to blow!

They've gone to plaid!

Both ships have air in them. They probably are not running at the exact same pressure value. It is totally reasonable that there'd be enough air flow just after exposing each other to the varying pressures.

but the air would be leaving the ship, blowing his cape in front of him, not behind

You are using real logic, you need to use fantasy space retcon logic.

On open space ports, ships suck the atmosphere back in to not lose air using a gravity generator, which would cause the cape to blow towards the ship. Expect this to be a small plot point in "The Mandolorian and Grogu."

Pretty sure he's not in the vacuum of space, but on some sort of vessel that probably has air con.

AC doesn't tend to blow air around anywhere near that forcefully, pun intended.

Face it, Daddy Skywalker is a total peacock!

Yeah but the issue remains, the OP clearly has some strange ideas about sci-fi settings having air.

Like, at all, for all we know. Are they just confused about enclosed space vessels, or do they think only the planet Earth has air?

Actually, are they aware that space ships are enclosed?

It's like force choking somebody if you stand directly in front of him. Such a poser.
