The OT era is apparently the dumb era — Page 2

Han says he has been around and not seen evidence that the Force or anything like it is real.
It’s a galaxy where most Force Users are dead or in hiding, the dominant and tyrannical political power represses information and sympathy for a pro-Jedi pro-Force interpretation of phenomena, history and culture and Han is cynical.
He doesn’t say he’s never heard of the Force he just doesn’t believe in it. Luke has never heard of it because he lives in the middle of nowhere and his adoptive parents actively dance around the subject. It’s sort of weird he believes so quickly but maybe he has an instinct for these things in his genes.
The dumb era is the ST era. Presumably with the rise of Republic on one side and the rise of the First Order on the other promoting and evoking the memory of famous Force users would be something both sides would do. Vader the hero of the Empire. Luke the hero of the Alliance. Rey thinks the stories are mythical but she already has powers along the same lines as those stories. It’s like someone with a green thumb not believing in Percy Thrower.

She also thinks Han was just a smuggler. And that could be due to well…I don’t know…her living on a planet like Jakku.

This is one of the stranger complaints about TFA that I’ve read/heard.

The OT era IS uneducated. The galaxy is an absolutistic dictatorship, it’s obvious there will be censorship, that people won’t reach higher levels of education.

If we were to compare PT and OT, Prequels showcases the blooming society of before and partly during WW2, while OT shows the countries of the Eastern Block after war ended.

Doesn’t mean Prequels are better movies.

Why is anyone still engaging with this guy? He’s so clearly just trying to get a rise out of people.
