so apparently people are complaining about a new interpretation of the force that shows up in acolyte e3. for context, the idea itself is that the force is like a thread that winds through everything instead of an omnipresent semi-being as the jedi believe.
people are acting like this is retconning lore and changing things when it's not. we've never known for sure what the force is- because how would we? from within the universe, there isn't really a way to know. the ashla, bendu, and bogan model gives us a light/mix/dark alignment, but there's also the idea qui-gon brings up about the cosmic and living force, and now we have the idea of the thread! this is great! more context, more perspectives, more depth to this world!
this fandom tends to forget, I think, that the jedi are not scientists. they're a religion. and believing wholeheartedly that the jedi have the objective truth of everything- which, by the way, the thread doesn't disprove as they could straight up be wrong- is genuinely a terrible way to interact with the medium.
