Three more crewmembers are expected to arrive on Sunday, 17 December 2017, so the crew may hold off on screening the film until all six members of Expedition 54 can watch the movie together. Another trio of space travelers departed the space station and returned to Earth early this morning, arriving just in time for the worldwide release of The Last Jedi.While the astronauts in space don't have a movie theater with a giant screen, they do have a special projection screen and a high-definition projector that they can use to watch movies and the occasional football game. In 2015, astronauts also watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens on their zero-g projection screen.
