No, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Hasn’t Banned The Phrase Younglings
Boy, is my face pink.
Final week, I reported that Disney’s scorching new attraction Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge had banned forged members from utilizing the phrase “younglings.” The supply of the story was park visitor @JennyENicholson on Twitter, who mentioned that upon her utilizing the phrase, a forged member defined that there had been an order from up excessive to “scrub” younglings from the vocabulary. Their reasoning is that the phrase has turn into irrevocably related to the scene in Revenge of the Sith during which Anakin Skywalker slaughters a room full of youngsters.
That story went around the globe, selecting up sufficient steam that Disney has now been compelled to challenge a clarification, saying the next about it:
Our forged members use that phrase each day within the new land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, as a part of the interplay with visitors. Youngsters in Black Spire Outpost are known as ‘younglings.’ Or presumably ‘padawans’ if they’re significantly robust with the Pressure. The littlest ones journey by way of ‘youngling transport’ — or what we on Earth would name a stroller.

Nicely, I’m glad we’ve received that cleared up. I’ve to confess, the unique story struck me as believable, particularly as probably the most outstanding use of the phrase within the franchise comes when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Padme of Anakin’s fall, explaining that he’s seen “a safety hologram of him killing younglings.”
However hey, perhaps Disney and Lucasfilm are attempting to reclaim the phrase for all that’s good and healthful. Maybe they’ll belief mother and father gained’t affiliate it with their youngsters being massacred dying by the hands of a crazed fallen Jedi (which doesn’t actually match with the entire ‘happiest place on Earth factor’).
No matter this little farrago, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has confirmed the monster hit everybody assumed it could be. Early chook reservations offered out in a short time, and it’s presently the new ticket in California. In the event you’ve been, we’re jealous as hell, however tell us what you thought within the feedback part under.
