In the old canon, there was a Dark Jedi named Irek Ismaren who had an implant that allowed him to use the mind trick on droids. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (© 2017 Lucasfilm Ltd. The notion that cybernetics and the Force can intertwine, is certainly not a new concept in Star Wars. This may seem “silly” as well, but I happen to think it’s very innovative and a good reminder to fans, that this IS a sci-fi universe. The implants would change her personality (make it more affable to droids) and boost her Force powers artificially. Now, the cool thing I want to talk about is that Alan Dean Foster, with his excellent imagination, devised a “sci-fi-y” reason as to why Rey’s powers progressed so quickly and unrealistically.Īs he envisioned it, Rey would a neurodegenerative disease that would require her to have a majority of her brain replaced with electronics. He felt various parts of it were silly, and when it comes to certain things he was correct. The author HATED Episode 8 and felt such a strong responsibility to the franchise, that he penned his own Episode 9, to try and fix the “mistakes” made in the Rian Johnson film. Now fast-forward almost 6 years later, and Foster has divulged a stunning revelation. Now, I have no idea if the sub-hyperspace and Quintessence energy was his invention, but it blew my mind as sci-fi is not as good as being innovative like it used to be. In the novelization, we see how talented Alan is as he explains the mumbo jumbo science of how Starkiller Base’s weapon works.
In 2015, Disney decided to show respect to Foster by allowing him to pen The Force Awakens novelization. Splinter is one of my favorite novels from the old EU and I remember reading it twice. He ghost-wrote the novelization for the original film, and the planned low budget sequel script novel, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. Star Wars legend Alan Dean Foster has revealed he has created his treatment for the final installment in the Skywalker sagaĪlan Dean Foster is a prolific author and technically the first Expanded Universe author.
