Summary
- The Star Wars universe has always been diverse, featuring a variety of alien species and even unique music genres.
- A short story in the anthology book "From A Certain Point of View: Return Of The Jedi" refers to jatz music instead of jizz music.
- Contrary to fan backlash, jatz music has been mentioned in Star Wars for the past 30 years, demonstrating that Disney is not trying to erase jizz from the franchise.
Star Wars fans can relax, Return of the Jedi's beloved jizz music hasn't just been retconned. George Lucas' Star Wars galaxy has always been delightfully diverse. Both the first Star Wars movie and Return of the Jedi featured a stunning number of different alien species, notably in the Mos Eisley Cantina and Jabba's Palace. The latter even featured a swinging jazz soundtrack, although – of course – the in-universe name had to be switched up a little.
The Return of the Jedi junior novelization officially referred to "jizz music," a term that – in the real world – dates back to the 19th century. It originally meant "energy," but swiftly came to have a far more colorful meaning, one that has amused generations of Star Wars fans. Now, though, a short story in the anthology book From A Certain Point Of View: Return Of The Jedi has generated something of a surreal backlash, with many accusing Disney of a great jizz retcon.

Lucasfilm Publishing has been celebrating the anniversaries of the Star Wars original trilogy by releasing a range of superb anthologies, From A Certain Point of View, each of which contain short stories by various authors. These flesh out background and secondary characters in the movies, offering unique insights into their arcs and motivations. Sometimes the choices are amusing – nobody expected to explore the sarlacc's story in Return of the Jedi – but others are deeply impactful. Slipped in among these tales, however, one – "Fancy Man" by Phil Szostak – doesn't refer to jizz music. It refers to jatz music instead.
