It's because we don't have a style of music called "Jizz."

Yes, Jizz.
You're viewing a single thread.
Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.
Oh, then they absolutely knew.
The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.
The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don't discount Legends!
Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.
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. 🤣
