Yeah, that's why the new Star Wars movies sucked, by the way. You listening to George Lucas instead of me.
A retard "But George Lucas said the Force is a plot device!"
Hym Iam "Yeah, that's not how fucking plot devices work jackass. A plot device is a broader category under which POWER SYSTEMS fall. So Plot Device:
-Power System
-Deus Ex Machina
-McGuffin
-Etc
If everything conflict if the movie is resolved by the plot device then what do the CHARACTERS in the movie actually do? Nothing! The Force DID EVERYTHING in those movies. Rey is tied to table? Jedi mind trick! Why would she even know that was a thing! Anyone who has seen it wouldn't remember that it had happened. Rey loses a lightsaber Duel to Kilo Ren? The Force wins for her! Everything she does in the movie is completely unearned because she's literally a Force puppet and the Force does everything. Look a movie where every conflict is resolved by Deus Ex Machina! I mean, you can do it as like a gag. Like Bullet Train is essentially that but that doesn't apply to anyone other then the main character. Deus Ex Machina is Brad Pits POWER in the movie. It's his gimmick. He has uncanny reaction/action speed and a Domino from X-men-Esque Deus Ex Machina field. But the Star Wars was bad. End of thing."
