I think that the entry should probably just be cut entirely as it's feels less Rejected by the Empathic Weapon and more a straight case of Only the Chosen May Wield. Ignoring the Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane argument which is... in of itself pretty major, the "rejection" in this case is so minute ("find the weapon heavy") that the entry says more about those who can wield it than those who cannot.

Honestly, the example kinda highlights the fact this overlaps with Only the Chosen May Wield to the point where I kinda don't see much of a functional distinction (ie if Only the Chosen May Wield then by definition everyone but the Chosen is Rejected By The Empathetic Weapon... including one example where the Chosen is rejected by the Empathic Weapon because).

But that's Trope Talk/TLP Rescue Thread (... I notice that the trope was launched with some seeming unresolved discussion about the fuzziness between the two. Since making this post, I've made a post in the TLP Crash Rescue Thread). For the ATT issue at hand, I think the issue is solving a multi-franchise question like that. In this case, I think Literature/ is right out. I'd personally put multiple entries in the mediums where it actually applies: while the Clone Wars is where the Darksaber originated here, it's only the Mandalorian show and Rebels where the Darksaber even potentially rejects someone.

All right, I think for the time being I'll move it to TV since it's most relevant to The Mandalorian.

Trust me, I'm an engineer!
