Another word from the Latin, this time generare, which means to generate or beget, and it found its way into Middle English. 

So, I wasn't too far off when I first thought it meant to give someone gender.  Isn't that what you do when you help to generate life?

It's contribution was generous.

Star Warz should have been a license to print money for Dizney. However, the writing for Darth Maus was so bad, I'm confident that at least a dozen writers on this site could have done better. Can you imagine how much better it would have been if six of our best had done the writing?

Bob Iger - fire Klutzleen Kennedy and call us. We'll put you back in the black. Hard.

Klutzleen and Jar Jar Abrams, The Destroyer of Fandoms, has set the bar so low that are first grader would have done better. What kind of idiot doesn't put Han, Luke and Leia in a scene together?  Or what kind of phenomenally stupid moron (Ruin Johnson), doesn't fix the Last Jedi to keep the character alive that actor is alive (Mark Hamill) and kill off the one that died Leia when the actress died (RIP Carrie Fisher) well before the movie actually released.

With the talent here, we could make something exceptional. In fact, that's not a bad idea.

Funny you should mention, @JamesSavik. I had only seen parts of some of the final three. The first three I found...tolerable, if not as good as the original set. But the final three? Bantha poo-doo.

To be clear, I didn't mind the female lead, though she wasn't a strong character, imo. The light saber fights were very poor - perhaps indicating the lack of true training. But the way they handled Luke...trash. The ship going into hyperspace into the fleet...nice idea, problematic at best. Lea using the force while knocked out to float through space back tot he ship? I mean you have to suspend belief a bit, but...so much left out. Jumped way too far ahead. Did anyone get a chance to care that Ben Solo fell to the dark side? No. We didn't see him grow with Lea as  a mom and Han as a dad. Can you imagine? 'Don't let your mom know I let you make the Kessel run!'

Missed opportunities.
