The Force is a supernatural energy field derived from all living things in the Star Wars galaxy which binds them together. A few individuals are sensitive to The Force and can make use of it, though they are also influenced by it.
Certain individuals are born with an affinity towards The Force and as such can use it a wide variety of ways. Likewise it exerts itself onto them as they use it.
The Light and Dark Sides
A key aspect of The Force is the dichotomy between the Light Side and the Dark Side. The Light Side is linked with self control, altruism, a love for all life and a desire for harmony both internal and external. The Dark Side is linked with selfishness, passions left to run wild and a desire for power.
The Force is constantly in turmoil with itself between Light and Darkness, forever pushing towards an balance which it can never fully achieve. It is also notable that individuals who use the force can get caught up in the pull of either side. If one is Drawn to the Dark Side by anger or fear, it will amplify said quality.
Force Abilities
Useful Powers
There is only one useful force power, and that is the ability to make people believe the sentence "These aren't the droids you're looking for." Sadly, this power doesn't work on Jews or mafia bosses. All other Force related powers are completely useless and pointless. Darth Vader was completely stupid when he said that the Death Star's power to destroy planets was insignificant compared to the Force. The Force never blew up any planets, nor did it ever stop any planets from getting blown up.
Useless Powers
Almost all of the things that the force can do can be done better with technology. And except for the one useful power mentioned above, the few powers that can't be replicated with technology are unreliable or have no practical use.
- Super Jumping: Better off getting a jetpack.
- Lightning: Weapons that shoot lightning already exist. And using this power often backfires, which happened several times to the emperor and he never learned.
- Predicting the future: Didn't save the Jedi from being wiped out, and didn't warn the emperor that Vader was going to turn on him.
- Sensing disturbances: You literally have the power to know if something bad just happened, but nothing about what it is or where it happened. That isn't a power at all. Everybody knows that something bad must be happening right now.
- Telekinesis: Tractor beams exist. Use those instead.
- Turning into a ghost: You can't change back after you turn into a ghost and you don't get any cool ghost powers and can't actually do anything other than give bad advice to the living.
Force Users
The most famous users of The Force in the Star Wars franchise is The Jedi Order, a semi-monastic order dedicated to keeping the peace in the galaxy.
