Part 8/10:
The ongoing saga of Star Wars under Disney has been marked by inconsistent lore, retcons, and controversial plot choices. The comments from Esposito seem to underscore a broader tendency to introduce Force-related elements into characters who historically had no direct connection to the Force.
If Disney decides to make Gideon a Force-sensitive Jedi or a descendant of Vader, it could herald a significant departure from the established narrative. Such choices risk alienating fans who value the franchise’s mythic storytelling rooted in character, struggle, and choice rather than hereditary or innate Force abilities.
