Jack is the fanfic OC. That is ‘special’ and the ‘chosen one’ and the one the whole season is about tbh.

I wrote stories like that when I was a kid. It was how I started. I had learned better by the time I was 13. How old is Matalas?

I am not knocking this in fanfic. Fanfic is fanfic. People have fun. I am not being mean. But canon isn’t fanfic. And it is doubly WTF kinda because of the pushing so hard that only nostalgia/the old characters matter. That’s why the new crew got thrown under the bus. And now all the old characters are really just serving the shitty self-insert Han Solo rip-off golden boy. Like they deserve better too.
