Luke Skywalker being replaced by a woman?

Since when?

I personally think lead paint is too good for them. Maybe an old fashioned petard would be much better.

Petard in that expression means fart.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard

Wikipedia says it means an explosive device. That was what I meant.

A "petard" is a "small bomb used to blow in doors and breach walls" and comes from the French pétard, which, through Middle French (péter) and Old French (pet), ultimately comes from the Latin pedere ("to break wind") [15] or, much more commonly, the slang form "to fart." Although Shakespeare's audiences were probably not familiar with the origin of the word, the related French word "petarade" was in common use in English by the 17th century meaning "gun shot of farting" making it appear likely that the double-meaning was intended by the Bard as a joke.[16]

"Enginer", although the origin of the modern engineer, had the meaning specifically of a military engineer or a sapper: someone who works with military engines (mines, grenades, siege engines). The word should be pronounced with the stress on the first syllable.[17]

I assume the thinking is that Rey replaced Luke, but you can only really argue that in the sense that Rey is a Jedi and Luke died so she takes his place in-universe, but Luke as a character hasn't gone away.
