Exclusive! More History on the Knights of Ren and the Truth About Midichlorians in The Force Awakens
Get ready. This is a big one. Although our site is known for making satirical and tongue-in-cheek posts regarding Star Wars, occasionally we do post some legit leaks as well. Thanks to some connections in the industry we were given 90 minutes in a closed room with the actual shooting script for The Force Awakens. We can’t give away every juicy detail, but there is a fascinating explanation for the title of the film that we can divulge. After the jump, hear what the story is!
After being left for dead by Palpatine, Maul too became a Knight of Ren and changed his name to Snoke. |
The goal at the time of The Phantom Menace was to create just enough confusion and instability about the way the force worked so that the emperor could take charge of the Galactic Senate. Qui-Gon, in league with several other “gray Jedi” therefore created the myth of “midichlorians” as a way of convincing the general populous that force-sensitivity was an exclusive characteristic that one could not choose or acquire without the requisite biochemistry. Darth Maul actually killed Qui-Gon to legitimize his reliability regarding all things force-related in nature.
