#sorry for starwarsposting again

[slyandthefamilybook]

idk I'm starting to come around to The Last Jedi a lot more. I really like the depiction of the Force as not just a vague "energy field" but as energy resulting from the tension between all things. The Force exists between life and death the way there's force in a string when you pull it at both ends. which raises questions about balance, of course. Life and death both pull on you, sure, but not equally. Darkness is always just beyond the edge, waiting for the light to go out. That's why the fight against the Dark Side is a constant struggle. You're fighting the natural tendency of the universe toward entropy. It makes the Jedi's insistence on isolating themselves and upholding a rigorous code make a lot more sense. It also explains why the Jedi so vastly outnumber the Sith. The light needs a lot more people to fight for it, while the dark just needs to wait. In that sense, though, Grey Jedi sound a lot more like political centrists than actually reasonable. Like they're fine with the dark as long as the light doesn't get too strong. It also explains why Yoda says "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny". It's obviously not actually forever, because people can be redeemed, but the path to the Dark Side is a slippery slope. Every inch you give it pulls you twice as close

ok sorry for starwarsposting again but im rewatching tlj rn and i feel like one of the biggest problems with it is that rian johnson tried to make a star wars movie while simultaneously looking down his nose at star wars. also the pacing is just god awful like... hardly anything has happened or changed by the end of the movie. it could have been summed up in the opening crawl. its just episode 7.5
