The problem with alien Jedi isn't alien Jedi, it is that all the alien Jedi in disney wars are forgettable, ugly and have nothing unique.
There's very few of the iconic, established aliens its just ugly vaguely lizardly creature. No Duros, barely any twileks, no deliberate color schemes or stand-out designs. its all just melted crayons.
Not even lazy werewolf masks.
I hate the idea that anyone can use the Force, its one of those things that goes against the old canon hard. Its totally ok to be a hero without the Force, look at Han Solo and Chewbacca. Total badasses without needing hokey religious magic.
Hard disagree. The Force being religious magic was one of the best elements from A New Hope, especially in an era when fantasy as a genre had been incredibly secular. The idea that it’s something you have only because you’re special is retarded and only was reinforced by the extended universe books (which have more problems than not) and the prequel trilogy (i.e. Midochlorians). Even from a purely storytelling point of view, giving your main character audience surrogate abilities that he had to work for is much more effective than making him arbitrarily special.
@Krokodil Overdose has it right with the Wuxia: there is a fine line between "Only special, blessed snowflakes can ever have these powers" and "I did a 5 minute training montage, I'm ready to take on the top master in this field".
ANH threaded that needle perfectly (helped by low-level of detail): anyone could use/feel the force with the right training & mind set, but there were individuals with a natural gift and inclination. Just being strong with the force wasn't enough, and the implication was anyone could unfuck their mind and get strong with the force, it'd just be harder than if they were innately strong with the force.
The issue with The Force ever since Disney took over isn't that anyone can use the force, its that literally anyone can be a force master better than those with years of dedicated training with the slightest plot contrivance and coffee talk with someone who knows what they're on about, and the often the chat over the coffee isn't needed as long as they female and/or gay.
Because these literal nigger-faggots don't get that Luke getting a 3 hour training sesh with Obi worked because all he was able to do after was have super aim, and that was with SpaceJesus helping guide the stick. He wasn't force choking dudes or out-force dueling Vader. They also don't get that Luke, doing his stupid teen stunts while joyriding in his Skyhopper, had been training with the force with years
he just never knew that's what he was doing.
Luke got his shit utterly schooled the first time he stepped to Vader, even after his time with Yoda, and Vader was going easy on him. He needed years of training to be able to fight Vader, and even then he only was able to fight him because Vader's was too busy fighting his own conflicting emotions to properly use the force. Contast with the gay shit that was Rey.
Current Disney writers are Marvel-brained. None of the comic book characters are supposed to need to work or train to have their cool superhero powers because its a lazy "I'm already perfect, everyone else sucks" wish fulfillment for angsty teens. But they forget that one of the reason the Xmen "hit puberty, turn
gay mutant" works for interesting stories was that everyone's power had huge draw back that required mastering; so it doesn't matter that Iceman got magic powers doing nothing because the interesting struggle is in how he has to work hard at not freezing everything and everyone around him.
The force is the complete inversion of that - no downsides to being able to use cool force power, you just have to put in the effort to train them, and it requires constant training and vigilance to maintain that ability and connection. And that is why not everyone is a Jedi.
But this completely unworkable for niggers and trannies - the idea you have to keep putting in effort?! Why are you racist, transphobe?
A fire in space.
They are ignoring everything else with this POS, why not physics?
Well, if there isn't air & gravity, how will you be able to ride spacehorses along the hull? Checkmate, racist.
I fully expect the David cage game to unironically be best thing set in the continuity.
That game was canceled if I remember right. So since it will never exist, you are 100% correct.
