A symbol of the commercial approach of the saga, the director JJ Abrams has decided not to keep the character his corpse The Force Wake . American filmmaker wanting to “kill the father” and the excesses of the episodes I to III of the franchise to return to the charm of feature films IV to VI.

He said: “Michael wanted to play the character, but he wanted to do it with prosthetics and makeup, as in Thriller.” A choice that was not the taste of the creator of the saga, which already planned to create the character completely digitally.

And, true to the malice of Jar Jar Binks, here is a final theory, this time much less credible.
