Freddie Prinze Jr. probably knows better than the averageStar Warsfan about the universe, since he starred as Kanan Jarrus onStar Wars Rebelsfor four seasons. Moreover, he was a fan of the show for as long as he could remember. So fans can give him leeway for his 2019 rant against some of the adult fans of George Lucas’ epic space franchise.
Some of the issues/theories raised in the rant about the universe are worth discussing since they make a lot of sense. Prinze Jr. explained why he believed the Force decided the balance of the universe, dictating who wins and loses in battles.

WhenFreddie Prinze Jr.appeared in a 2019 interview onJeff Dye’s Friendship Podcast, he went into a rant against the adultStar Warsfans who kept complaining about the projects. He shared that even he received some of the hate after appearing as an animated character in a non-canonical project.
“I don’t want you in this movie”: Star Wars Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. Recalls Miserable, Near-Death Experience on Debut Film That Almost Made Him Quit Acting
TheScooby-Dooactor shared that the fanbase“btch about the dumbest sht”without understanding thatStar Warsis a“f*cking movie for kids”. He shared that he was not making things up as this info came from the creatorGeorge Lucashimself. The NSFW rant also included some interesting discussion about the Force balancing the universe.
He shared that he learned about the lore and the Force fromDave Filoni, who learned it from Lucas. Prinze Jr. shared that most people talking about the Force had no clue about what it actually was. He shared that neither Luke Skywalker nor the Emperor dictated who won or lost in the war. The Force dictated the wins and losses, thus balancing out the universe.
Prinze Jr. had one example fromStar Warsto explain this. He shared that the Emperor could have chosen to kill Anakin, his enemy according to the prophecy. However,he instead seduces him towards the Dark Sideknowing that if the Force knew he killed Anakin, it would have corrected the course of events eventually. He further shared that this info too came from Lucas. Prinze Jr. shared (via Instagram):
Here’s the quick version on how to explain it to all these people who fcking think they get to decide…Let’s talk about the seduction of Anakin fcking Skywalker for a second.
If the Emperor is the smartest dude in the universe, and knows that the Force dictates this, if he kills who he sees as a rival — Anakin — than he knows the Force is just gonna fcking correct that. Because the Emperor knows this. These are George Lucas’ words, not mine, so fck you if you disagree with me. Straight up, this is information not affirmation time.
Prinze Jr. shared that the Force did balance out Anakin’s turning to the Dark Side, by giving Queen Padme the two twins, Luke and Leia. He shared that by using this very simple logic, it was easy to predict who was going to win and lose in subsequent movies.
Freddie Prinze Jr. Also Dismissed The Idea Of A Gray Jedi InStar Wars
In a non-canonical fan-fic world ofStar Wars, fans came up with a Gray Jedi theory. It was speculated that the Gray Jedi would take over after the reign of the Jedis ended inStar Wars: The Last Jedi. The term refers to a Force user who can use both the light and dark sides of the Force without vowing their allegiance to either path. They are said to operate outside of the Jedi council.

Freddie Prinze Jr. blasted the theory, sharing that Lucas’ world was not a video game where you could level up to a ‘Gray Jedi’. He shared that while he was okay with fans coming up with such fiction, he hated it when they tried to canonize it. TheShe’s All Thatactor shared:
You don’t get to level up in the Star Wars world. that’s a fcking video game. There’s no such thing as a Gray Jedi! Qui-Gon even says, ‘I turn towards the light because it’s there.’ There’s no gray! That’s pretend fanfiction sht, which is cool but don’t try to canonize it because it doesn’t work, and I’m never going to buy it, ever. Star Wars is for f*cking kids.
Prinze Jr.’sStar Wars Rebelstook place fourteen years after the events of theRevenge of the Sith. As the Empire hunts for the last of the Jedi, Prinze Jr.’s former Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus mentors a street kid to become a Jedi.
