Making matters worse is that these details sometimes cause continuity errors which take away from the overall quality of the films. Like when r2d2 flew in the prequel trilogy but couldn’t in any subsequent films(though this could easily be explained). But there are other ones like why can Luke and leia levitate but palplatine couldn’t catch himself falling down the reactor core, and yoda couldn’t avoid falling in the senate.

I think Yoda covered that in the movie. New gen Jedi learn things beyond what the master an teach them. Why can Kylo stop a blaster bolt? Vader couldn't, I think the point is ever Generation will find ways to use the force in new ways the old guard couldn't imagine. Which is totally valid IMO. The force isn't linear in learning. EDIT: Just to further provide some depth on this, Some Jedi could read minds and manipulate weak willed people with mind tricks, others couldn't. Other Jedi were known to levitate as well, I think Anikan and ObiWan both could fall and jump great heights (Darth Maul fight maybe?).
So it's not unusual to see force levitation. Different tricks for different force users.
