Good review, Acbagel. The consistently bad writing is most frustrating when there are good ideas and good visuals. I’m withholding judgment on whether the various mysteries hold up. Yet I’m 99% convinced “kill a Jedi without a weapon” means kill an unarmed Jedi and Mae knows that so the ‘clever’ part is the audience is misled by clunky dialogue. Whether killing an unarmed Jedi strikes at the heart of Jedi (because they don’t do that) in a way that unprovoked killings by a [bad Force user] doesn’t is in the eye of the beholder. We’ll see how that goes.
