I really really love your takes NFB!

One of my favorite things about TLJ is that it really destroys the old ‘Übermensch’ idea of force users. While I don’t think that George intended it, the fanbase/writers in the old legends continuity really really liked using that fascist idea of ‘strong bloodlines make people strong’ and stuff like that. Everyone who was good at things had to have some force connection because their dad had the force or whatever.

This movie is about resistance to evil and how everyone can/should fight back, and how you can be strong even without “strong blood.” And even those people with “strong blood” aren’t better than anyone else.
