Imagine trying to shit on someone’s faith, then the person calls down Jesus himself to put your fingers in their nail wounds and then he makes his dad hurt you for good measure.
Point is how’d that guy not believe in the force before that? No “parlor trick” is that good…
I know. The prequels maybe weren't well thought out. That shit talker would have served among the Jedi and during the purge.
Jedi are supposed to be incredibly rare, about 10,000 in a galaxy of quadrillions. It's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of them (Other than the ten thousand years of historical proof of space wizards doing cool shit with physical records).
However, Lucas hates math, so, like, a couple million clones can fight this war, right? Now this one cog actually probably did meet a Jedi because the only universe worse at reconciling feasible reality with background details is 40k.
The EU actually did a really good job of explaining this attitude with an Imperial propaganda campaign that painted the Jedi as frauds running the Republic from the shadows, justifying both the skepticism and the purge to the citizens. RIP.
Reminds me of cultivators in Chinese novels. I always explain their rarity as imagine them being olympic athletes. You know they exist, you hear about them but you would probably never bump into one or if you did you would never know. (of course cultivators are such chuds that if you did bump into them they would just smite you because something something show face and cowtow)
