The Troubadour should probably stop talking! Join Erik the Troubadour as he [The management at Gadzooks, a Nerd apologizes for the interruption, but Cthulhu and the internet cats insisted the following, properly researched and fact checked information be available to the listener. Firstly, there is no correlation between the color of a Jedi’s saber and any classification, categorization, or duty assignment. Please visit gadzooksanerd.com/meow/oddxii for full details on this subject. As to Mz. Rey and her plans for the future, when reached for comment she replied she was not ready to make any firm announcements at this date. Secondly, the practice of celibacy is by no means required by the Jedi Order. The Jedi is actually discouraged from forming any overly strong attachments, thus marriage (or any other comparable cultural, faith based, or legal practices) and parenthood are not allowed among the Jedi. Again, please visit gadzooksanerd.com/meow/oddxii for full details on this subject. On the topic of Jedi parenthood, Cthulhu would especially like to point out that two cases of force sensitivity being passed on in a family is not a significant enough sample size to make any claim of Jedi potential being a truly hereditary trait. Likewise, the cats everywhere on the internet would like to point out that the only particularly notable use of the Force by Princess Leia Organa was pulling herself out of the vacuum of space which was almost as dumb as that midochlorian garbage and should thus be roundly ignored. Thirdly, on the question of funding and how it could make the Jedi beholden to partisan politics, or even complicit in corruption, it should be known that the Jedi is in actuality not funded by the Senate but in fact by the Jedi Order itself via its Service Corps. Once more, please visit gadzooksanerd.com/meow/oddxii for full details on this subject. And lastly is the most prominent piece of anti-Jedi propaganda among Imperialists and internet trolls, that the Jedi are some sort of baby snatchers. Please remember that being in the Order is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY, and any member may choose to leave at any time. The acceptance of younglings into the Order is at the discretion of the parents or legal guardians of said youngling, and may be declined. Furthermore, the use of “mind tricks” or any other force abilities to take a youngling from a rightful guardian is not only grounds for dismissal from the Jedi Order, but may mark the user as a potential Sith and result in disciplinary actions up to and including death. And again, please visit gadzooksanerd.com/meow/oddxii for full details on this subject. And we would further remind the listener that it was the breaking of several of these practices that lead to the rise of the Empire and the end of thousands of years of peace and prosperity for all. We now return you to the previously scheduled show notes]us special guest The Oklahoma Kid.
