Yes, I will include "the Force is strong in your family" in this hot take. I know it's too late to wind decades of Force calipers and space eugenics back now, but it would have been a lot better if that "energy field that surrounds and binds all living things" had an ebb and flow, came and went, and was more about timing and what's going on where (you know, like an energy field) than "the most specialist special people have more fuckulons than you do, you mundane peasant."

I haven't seen a Star War in some time how-much-could-it-cost but maybe if something comes along that does space magic in a less calipersy way I'd check it out instead.

Oh well. We'll always have Glup Shitto. live-slug-reaction

    Are there any stories where magic powers aren't inherited? I can think of Frieren and The Magicians, but I think that's it? My LotR knowledge is limited, but I don't recall magic being genetic. Although I don't think many mortals in LotR can even perform magic.
