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

      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. 🤣
