Spas of the Jedi

Ever since the trailer for Star Wars: the Last Jedi was released, there has been a mighty buzz over Luke’s proclamation that “It’s time for the Jedi to end.”

Charlie Jane Anders, on wired.com, suggests that what the Jedi need is not extinction, but Workers’ Comp.

This is clearly a job with a high attrition rate. Hell, Jedi seem to turn to the Dark Side every time someone cuts them off in hyperspace traffic. Posited: Force-users should have mandatory downtime and retraining every few parsecs. (Don’t even think about it.) Let them chillax and work with other Jedi, who can watch out for Sith warning signs. Some primal scream therapy might be helpful, too. Given how many Jedi facilities already look like day spas, is a facial or some acupuncture too much to ask?

That, along with five other common-sense suggestions.
