Praetorian Jack is a new hero in the saga

Post by Uncle Entity »

That's my guess. Cool name. I remember a time when I wanted to call Max's car in Thunderdome "Praetorian". Curiously enough.

My guess is that Praetorian Jack is an hero. His costume reminds me of Max's.

Just found this:

Those who know your history will recognize the word "Praetorian." For those unfamiliar, they were an elite group of guards who were escorts and bodyguards for high-ranking officials like senators and procurators in the Roman Republic. It's not uncommon for post-apocalypse movies to look back at the time of Rome as the peak of humanity and the themes explored everywhere in media. Burke and director George Miller worked closely together to figure out Jack's story and how it works in the world of Furiosa, both in the script and in what is alluded to as subtle character moments.

"George's idea, which is alluded to in the script, is that Jack is very much from a military family and that they perhaps knew Immortan Joe before he was the Immortan Joe, and that there was a journey to the Citadel and a certain idea of what that life might be that was very different from what it turned out to be, and sort of charting how that happened," Burke explains.
