I always look at the Jedi's like the CIA. You know they exist, you know they fix shit in the world, but you have no clue who works for the CIA. If the CIA all of a sudden just got crushed and disbanded, no one is going to forget about them in 50 years. There would be some crazy stories still going around about the CIA. Fuck I bet even dumb ass rednecks know who the CIA is. Maybe people in some no technology spots in Africa would not know about them. That's why the whole no one knows who the Jedi are bug the fuck out of me.

Han grew up in a universe without Jedi, but he knew about them and knew what a lightsaber was. He just didn't believe in their force powers. The Jedi Order has been around for a long fucking time and they aren't the only force users in the universe either. To me, someone like Mando not knowing anything about the Jedi would be like one of us not knowing what the Roman Empire was. Even if he had no formal education, people love to tell stories. You think people in Starwarsland don't tell stories about Jedi?

Barellron · Sep 16, 2020

Yes, we all agree it's dumb. The problem is, every new writer that gets their hands on the Star Wars mythos gets rigid at the idea of Jedi scarcity, probably because they're all too chicken shit to do something KOTOR-era with lightsabers fucking everywhere.

It stretches suspension of disbelief a bit, but also remember that space is a really big place and people tend to only talk about or retain information relevant to their day to day.

Except the Jedi go around wearing super flagrant robes so it's no secret at all who is a Jedi or not.

IDK why its so hard to believe when we have real world headlines like this

Nearly two-thirds of US young adults unaware 6m Jews killed in the Holocaust

According to survey of adults 18-39, 23% said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure

www.theguardian.com

Now expand this to thousands of worlds, and it shouldn't be so shocking that Jedi were not well known or unknown.

As for Han he came from Corelia which was a core world and he didnt even believe in force powers

Qhue · Sep 16, 2020

Yeah I saw that blurb and immediately thought of this thread. Consider also the whole Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa OK and how completely unknown it was to most people until just recently.

If you have an active disinformation campaign fostered by the Empire's control of interstellar communication I could see quite a few things being lost.

I can understand the guy wanting more time without the helmet. It's probably not that fun to be in a helmet, it limits his ability to showcase his acting skills and does little him becoming better know or recognizable.

I wasn't familiar with him before the show, and only saw what he looks like in that one scene in the show and barely remember it, I wouldn't recognize if he was standing in front of me right now.

That said, that move won't help his career either...being difficult to work with is never something you want associated with your name especially when your name isn't that well known to begin with.

If they need to replace him it won't be hard, and he probably won't be missed, heck most people might not even notice it...which bring us back to the reason he might have walked in the first place.

Those people might think the Holocaust was a myth or exaggerated but they still have HEARD about it. They know what it's CLAIMED to have been. Same with like the KGB or something. If the operate around the US, laymen don't know about it, they aren't talked about. There's no section on the KGB in any history class I took in high school. And yet, I still know what they are.

The 'never take off the helmet' was just a dumbass Dredd wannabe gimmick in the first place.

j00t · Sep 16, 2020

Yeah, I think they were just trying to evoke the same kind of imagery as boba Fett from the OT. we never see his face, but there's no reason why other than he was always in business mode

It looks like it was adopted to hide their numbers. Just like they only left the covert one at a time.

i didn't think the Amish were real until i moved out to lancaster and i was driving behind a 20mph buggy. (they even have tail lights on the buggy)

i didn't think they were actually adverse to the modern world until i went to jedidiahs house and its like fucking abraham lincolns log cabin, however they skirt around the whole "electricity is evil" thing by having an entirely wired up shed, even jedidiah gotta use ebay.

Basically Favreau had what he thought was a cool idea, but since it didn't actually fit into the canon he changed the canon to fit his stupid fucking idea.

Are you people forgetting a slave child on planet outside of the Republic instantly new QuiGon was a jedi just by seeing him with a light saber? Or that Watto knew QuiGon was a jedi when Jinny tried to use the force on Watto?

Cybsled · Sep 16, 2020

Tatooine can be forgiven because the Hutts ran the planet and they knew well of the Jedi. Not a stretch that the broader organization would have had a greater awareness of them.
