“Maybe you’ve heard. I’m all the Jedi. So I’ve got that going for me.” no! no!!

It's extremely funny that they took the parts everyone hated from both Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker and just leaned into it in the most obnoxious way possible.

"The force is bigger than creed or philosophy." ok, you've caught my interest, disney. "I'm rey Skywalker, maybe you've heard of me" well fuck me for getting my hopes up.

"the force is the living energy of all beings, interconnected throughout the galaxy" vs "the force is special magic points and the more MP your dad had the more MP you have"

it was like the one thing everyone agreed sucked about the prequels and then they were like "nah lets lean into this, more midichlorians = more force and theyre stored in the balls"

Times in the SW universe that I died a little inside: - Ewoks - Jar-Jar appears in The Phantom Menace - "Midichlorians" - Jar-Jar resurfaces as a senator (WTF) - Hyperdrive as a weapon (WTAFF)

i agree with all of these except for senator jar jar which i think is both funny and works for communicating how ridiculous the pre-empire galactic government is

its also a key plank in the great "jar jar binks sith lord" fan theory

my single favorite fan theory, unfortunately they'll never canonize it because they are cowards do it and be legends

John Lovett @johnlovett.bsky.social story asking Lucas about this was the best piece of journalism he ever did (not that he is a journalist)
