The Problem with Force Healing (Spoilers for Rise of Skywalker and She-Ra Season 5)

[Winter]

The problem with the force is that it tends to flip between the two, depending on the writer. One story will have something like force healing as the culmination of a characters story arc, and so it makes sense. Then the next writer will have someone going around raising the dead almost at will, just because they can.

That's really a problem with any series that goes on for a while the thing of it is most of us are willing to over look it if the payoff is worth it and, IMO, TDST was not worth the amount of lore that it broke.

I mean, the ST has many great moments, too, but I also can't help but feel like it could have been so much more. When I watched them, I had to treat them as an alternate take on the EU, because that's really all they are at this point with the exception of TLJ and I've said before I feel TLJ was borderline perfect as the controversial art that Mr. Johnson wanted, if only they had some kinda bridge between where ROTJ ended and TLJ then picked up. The new EU will fill that in, of course, but that is a mixed bag. The casuals they want to chase don't care about the side material, and the older hobbyists have a hard time getting invested in the new EU when LF won't continue the EU under the Legends banner, especially with all the revision LF is doing to discredit the EU.

And honestly, I've got over what TLJ did. Ignore the negative, as I had when I walked out of the theater, and look for new appreciation what it was trying to do. Challenge nostalgia in a nostalgia market. What other film-maker can you say is trying to do that? I want to say I think Mr. Johnson at least had a vision. You may disagree, and I get that, but he's the only one I felt wanted to do his own thing, while Mr. Abrams was acting on orders from on high from people like Mr. Filoni, Ms. Kennedy, and others. If they had toned down on the excesses by Hermit Luke, I think it would have stood out a lot better than it does now going off online memes. Besides, it might be an unpopular opinion, but I'll say the ST didn't break the lore - that was TCW, to such an extent a reboot was inevitable, and from that reboot came the ST. TCW is kinda like the PT. Do I like it? Yes. Will I defend it? No.
