George Lucas envisioned the Force as more than a superpower—it was the spiritual backbone of the Star Wars universe. In his own words: “The Force isn’t something you control—it’s something you understand.” This profound idea defined the original trilogy, creating moments that transcended the genre. Yoda’s teachings in The Empire Strikes Back challenged audiences to think about the balance between light and dark within themselves, while Qui-Gon Jinn’s connection to the Living Force in The Phantom Menace introduced the idea of trusting intuition and staying present in the moment.
Lucas drew from real-world philosophies and religions, crafting a universal concept that resonated deeply with viewers. The Force wasn’t just about moving objects or fighting with lightsabers—it was about balance, discipline, and understanding the self. It was the heart of Star Wars.
Now, compare that to Disney’s version of the Force. Rey, for instance, instantly masters her powers with little to no training. There’s no struggle, no self-discovery—just immediate competence. Kylo Ren’s relationship with the Force, which could have been an intriguing exploration of inner conflict, is underdeveloped and inconsistent. The depth and mystery of the Force have been reduced to flashy tricks and overpowered abilities, stripping away the very essence of what made it special.
The path to redemption is clear: Disney needs to slow down, focus on quality over quantity, and bring in creators who understand the franchise’s soul. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have proven they can honor Lucas’s legacy—maybe it’s time Disney gave them the reins entirely.
George Lucas himself reportedly said: “Star Wars isn’t broken—it’s just been taken down the wrong path.” Maybe it’s time for Disney to find the right one.
Star Wars isn’t just a franchise—it’s a legacy. A story about hope, redemption, and the fight between light and darkness. Right now, it feels like Star Wars has lost its way, but as the saga itself has taught us: “There’s always hope.”
