/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.

Oh, then they absolutely knew.

The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.

The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don't discount Legends!

Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.

To be fair, it was probably more common at the time to know that Jazz has an identical etymology.

[–] wjrii 1 points 6 days ago

Etymology is not destiny, and in particular Jazz was established before the sexual meaning of the root was firmly (hehheh) established.

Nah, man, Lucas clearly just wasn't familiar with the term and let it slide with the original ROTJ novelization, or the 1984 reference book, or wherever it was that it first popped up. Well, that, or they were just trolling us all along. 🤣
