While there has long been an alternate name for the music us galactic aficionados know better as Jizz Wailing, the recently released From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi does appear to have eschewed this somewhat contentious term in lieu of a 90’s term; Jatz. Yes, out with the jizz and in with the jatz, as Nerdist explain.
We’ve all known the Star Wars galaxy has its own form of jazz music since we first heard the cantina band in A New Hope. Eventually, Lucasfilm revealed the actual name of this form of jazz popularized by bands like Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes in the Mos Eisley Cantina. And it was quite an unfortunate one. See, in the Star Wars galaxy, they call that space jazz “jizz.” Yes, someone back in the day gave “jizz music” the stamp of approval. But according to a report in the A.V. Club, it seems Lucasfilm might be phasing out the name “jizz music” and replacing it. A recent Star Wars book refers to the space jazz as “jatz” music.
Rumours that Bollux the droid from Han Solo at Stars’ End has been returned to his original name of Zollux are unverified, but either way we’re frightfully offended.
