Message: [QUOTE="FeedTheDove, post: 2008703, member: 2219"] One of the most misunderstood concepts in the Star Wars universe is how the force flows through individuals. Some fans like to think that you are either 'force-sensitive' or you aren't. If you're force-sensitive, you get to do cool Jedi things like force pushing objects, levitating objects, fighting with a lightsaber, etc... The new canon is trying to do away with that type of thinking. They're trying to do away with the thought that Jedi and Sith are the only beings that can do extraordinary things. They're trying to do away with the thought that if you aren't born 'force-sensitive,' you'll never be able to manipulate the force like a Jedi. Yoda said it himself in Empire: [I]"Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."[/I] The force flows through [B]everyone[/B][I][B]. [/B][/I]There is no such thing as 'force-sensitivity.' Every being in the galaxy is able to feel the force in their own way. Now - this doesn't mean that everyone gets to manipulate the force like a Jedi would. It simply means the potential is there for everyone. The reason I bring up this up is because some think that if the Jedi Order 'ends,' then that means Star Wars ceases to be interesting. The Jedi are just a group with a particular philosophy about life and the force who have mastered their ability to connect with the force. If the Jedi Order does 'end,' we could potentially be seeing a new generation of Jedi-like beings who build off of the mistakes of both the Jedi and Sith, and develop their own philosophies through refined sight. And this refined sight could allow them to master abilities with the force that even the Jedi were unaware of. Lucasfilm really has a crazy amount of different directions that they can take this story; it's exciting. [/QUOTE]
