I can’t find the meme that says basically the same thing, that the general is old enough to have served in the clone wars and be personally involved in purging the Jedi, but yeah.
Yeah it's a funny and I think endearing thing that George really just came up with stuff off the cuff without thinking too much about how it would affect other things
How old do you think this guy is? If he’s 40 then he’d only be 20 at the END of the Clone Wars. And he’s not a clone, so if he started his imperial service at the start of the Empire he was probably some low level clerk in the depths of Courasant.
Thinking about it, it kinda works as is. This guy fought in the Clone Wars and saw how badass the Jedi were. But then he also saw the Jedi made extinct by some scheming and some neural programming in the clones.
Science & cunning beat the Force. He'd have every reason to belittle it.
