Exactly. Force-sensitive beings are now either freaks of nature or superior beings destined to rule lesser mortals like Nazi supermen. Where's the far reach of the force and its mysterious relationship to fate and destiny now? Its all based upon a few people who have too much bacteria in their body. Once they're wiped out the force becomes trivial.


And I guess it gives new meaning to han's words.

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

"You don't believe in the force, do you..."

"Kid, I've flown from one end of the galaxy to the other, I've seen a lot of strange stuff but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense."

Maybe Obi-wan should tell him he's right in the next special edition.
