Like you say, the Jedi are treated like a myth but it's also clear that they only fell a few decades ago.Liveinadive wrote:I was thinking about this the other day and how the prequels undermined the original trilogy there. Han, the Empire dude that Vader chokes among others treat Jedi/Sith like some long forgotten myth yet the Jedi had it's own council and giant training pyramid library only 30 years prior.

Even back to the guitar example - most people will need guidance in some form, but there are always people who just have the innate talent. These are both wonky allegories but in the end it's all bollocks anyway: Lucas's films contradict themselves, so does the canon and any non-mainline films.

I think that's tosh. I have never seen star wars as being about the Skywalker bloodline. Conversely, I gave zero credit to TLJ for the broomboy and Rey is nobody shite. Those who thought it subverted expectations just don't get the films. Was Palpatine a Skywalker? Was Obi wan? Was Yoda? The Skywalker thing was done for family drama. There is a suggestion it can be genetic, but that is it.
If I saw all the Jedi being murdered I'd not be in a rush to go showing off force powers either ;pTempy wrote:That's cool, I don't think it's tosh. That's the way i've always seen it, given how few forces users there are post Jedi's getting murdered.

EDIT: I am mis-remembering, he's in the new Falcon set but nothing else.
