I think it’s great we’re seeing it used new ways.
She’s free Of the dogma of the Jedi order.

As long it’s not super powers. The force is not a super power

I'm not averse to seeing it used in new ways. I'm just afraid it will be used in new ways that flies in the face of how we've seen it thus far.

This kind of contradicts your first point about not being averse to seeing it used in NEW ways. Please clarify and confirm.

Thanks.

As long as the new things don't contradict what we've seen before, things should be fine.

(Except for all out force ghost battle of course)

Also, it's well established that the dark side deforms and ages the user. Look at Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor v Emperor.

New Force powers get introduced all the time. I think this is not only expected but exciting.

Not entirely true or fair.

Colin has been making snide throwaway remarks ever since he’s been fired.

Jason was about 90% bang on on every report from all the new films.
I’d say he’s right here and treverow is in a hole digging up.

Why even acknowledge it otherwise?

He’s been fired by Disney. Not a good look in Hollywood land.

Now he’s responding personally to a Star Wars fan site?

Think about it

It would be even better if Colin commented on how poorly designed the site is too.

I’m not being hyperbolic here. This guys podcasts on soundtracks are next level. Especially on Star Wars. He brings insights you’ve never even considered on how the music informs the story and the films. John Williams is obviously a genius and a master. This chap is the best gateway into what it’s all doing musically. Give it a spin.
He’s also voice actor in all the new films funny enough
