Recently, the ending of the show was altered so that the entire group of little ones (with the help of the Jedi Master) "Force-Push" Vader. Which is thrilling when you're a little kid (and, let's be honest, most of us grown-ups would be just as thrilled to participate.) But this new ending brought about a heated discussion about what would actually be possible in the Star Wars World.
"I'm just saying, there's no way that a group of Younglings who had just been trained would be able to Force-Push Vader. It just wouldn't be possible! I don't care how strong they are!"
... I'm sorry, what? Let's just for a moment disregard the fact that Darth Vader is patiently squaring off against each individual child (and that they all manage to defeat him one way or another, despite the fact that most of them don't remember their training combination.) Let's ignore the fact that our Jedi Masters regularly make ridiculously corny anachronistic jokes that have no place in a galaxy far, far away.
Bypass all of that, and still, all I have to say is this : does it look like we're too concerned with reality here?!
The above is a clip from this year's Hyperspace Hoopla. A magical show of wonder and awesome that I can't even begin to describe. And as it clearly proves, keeping the reality of Star Wars World alive is at the very top of our priority list.
May the Force be With You. Always.
P.S: Yes, I did get sucked into the discussion myself. And yes, I'm enough of a geek that I held my own with the professional Jedi.
