8 Different Views of the Force

Ойын-сауық

Understanding of the force is not monopolized by just the Jedi and the Sith, before their existence there were many creatures and species already fully versed in how to manipulate and use this powerful energy field. Today we take a look 8 different factions and their alternative view of what the force is.

    1. While all Nightsisters are Witches of Dathomir, not all Witches of Dathomir are Nightsisters. 2. The White Current 3. The Echani 4. The sentient Minerals known as Shards who gain mobility by piloting mechanical bodies, becoming Iron Knights. (Mistaken for droid jedi) 5. Revanites 6. Teepo Paladins, who use the Force to go full "Wanted" style with projectile and Blaster weapons, rather than melee like lightsabres. 7. The Masters of Teras-Kasi. 8. The Voss Mystics

    There is also... all the Sith-adjacent cults that where not actually Sith, like the Prophets of the Dark Side in legends, Acolytes of the Beyond, etc... You also have, from the clone wars, the "Gungan art of mind over matter" which is the gungan's force tradition that bears a surprising resemblance to Sith Sorcerery of all things (it makes use of talismans and artifacts as foci much like Sith Sorcery, and is seen being primarily used for mind control by a clearly evil/dark leaning gungan, and Jar Jar seemed scared/wary of it), and the Bardotans, who where a heavily force sensative race that where very much firmly aligned to the light side, yet deeply distrusted the Jedi despite due to viewing them as child-snatchers out to steal their children from them and indoctrinate them in a tradition that was not their own. They praticed the force in a purely non-violent way, seeing the use of the force for combat in any shape or form as a big no-no, and their leaders, the Dagoyan Mystics, where very powerful in non-combat uses of the force I.E. Precognition, sensing, healing, etc... as a result.

    @@cesare_1302 I wish, but Jar Jar was frightened of it and said "not to mess with it," so that's actually a point AGAINST Darth Jar Jar. XD The guy who used it was like, a scheming gungan political bueracrat just underneath the Gungan Bosses who wanted the gungans to cut ties to the republic and join the separatists, and used the "gungan art of mind over matter" to mind control the bosses, with the intent to mind control them into signing an agreement with Count Dooku to join the separatists. Jar Jar stopped the plot though. So while its not hard-confirmed to be a strictly dark side tradition, the one time we say it used it happened to be being used for a very dark-side purpose, and likewise, the practitioner had to use a Talisman as a focus to use his force abilities, both of which hearken back to Sith Sorcery (which also typically requires the use of Talismans and other "magical foci"), even if the similarities might not have been intentional on the writer's part. That being said, at least in legends, the Gungans had ties to the Rakata of all species, as they where originally from Rakata Prime in Legends and moved to Naboo, I believe. So the "Gungan Art of Mind Over Matter" could have been a kind of watered down version of Rakatan Bogan that the Gungans picked up via living in the ruins of the Infinite Empire's heart and being able to use fragments of old Rakatan force writings to approximate a slapdash shadow of the Rakatan force pratices, which could explain the reason it is vaguely similar to Sith Sorcery (As Sith Sorcery could have also been in part derived from Rakatan Bogan)

This eventually caused a large enough fracture that there was an internal 'civil war' because those that wished to still practice the darker arts fell deeper and deeper into it before they lost the fight any the survivors were exiled. The Sith themselves (Beyond being using the dark side strongly) were not created until the exiles found themselves on Korriban and the actual Sith species that had natural affinity for the dark side (Much like the Rakatan, though in originally with less intently violent purposes) and used it in a more magik/alchemy based state than in normal manipulation most commonly.

    The Aing Ti ships are pretty cool, they use their force abilities to power their Battlestar Galactica style jump drives, allowing for instant FTL teleports across their sector of the galaxy. Interestingly the force teleportation trick (minus the ship) was possible for Jedi and Sith Masters to learn. Although everyone in Legends who did learn it described it as being incredibly exhausting, often speculating as to how powerful the Aing Ti were to use such abilities so easily.

    The Nightsisters came to the GFFA by way of Seatos, but they didn't stay there. Instead, they moved on to Dathomir. This leads me to wonder if the green ichor is not consistently available across the universe, but that it is found in varying quantities on different worlds. Worlds like Peridea and Dathomir may have a lot more of it than planets like Seatos. This could explain why the Nightsisters seemed oddly unambitious compared to other Dark Side factions. If their powers were limited on worlds with low ichor, they would have had motivation to prefer worlds where their powers were strongest.

    In: Star Wars Tales, an old comic. Qui Gonn is on a mission with young Obi Wan. And the force leads them to a giant predator, that must be killed. Obi Wan questions this, because the creature wasn‘t necessarily evil, and maybe just a natural part of the life cycle, so by what right did they have to kill it?. Qui Gon doesn‘t really resolve this, but just mysteriously alludes to: Trust in the living force. There are many occasions, in which this „servant of the force“ theme is somewhat dubious, and ethically grey. Jedi often did questionable things, believing to serve justice/good/the force. Follow this line of thought to the extreme conclusion you have Kreia, who things the force IS a manipulative insidious power.

    The most interesting thing about the chiss is that it's actually theorized (in legends at least) that they were actually once humans much like with the zeltron. Albeit to it's own less extreme degree. A long haul sleeper ship ended up drifting off course or with the lack of proper FTL capabilities, had the place or list of potential places to colonize move out of range and ended up in the unknown regions. The conditions of the planet causing the evolutionary separation from mainline humans. I also don't remember if the Mirialan were a case of human mutation or just one of the few naturally near human species. Again speaking from Legends since we don't have much in the way of solidified Nu canon lore for pretty much any species.

    The Mirialan after request to the Jedi council (unknown point in history.) gained the ability for Mirialan to exclusively train other Mirialan. However their cultural views of the force held no direct ties to light or dark as it was spiritual and for all intents and purposes, use of nexus points on the home world as ritual or ancestor... Worship isn't really the correct term, but it gives the general idea. As for the CW it wasn't a plot point or even specifically brought up during episodes that included both Barriss and Luminara, or singularly even. Species practice never came into reference at all.

    There are 2 ways to use the force, dark and light. Light is going with the flow or requesting the force does things. Building a relationship with it. Then the dark side is about controlling it. If you want absolute control you'll gain power faster but it will have consequences. If you build a relationship with it you'll have steady influence and you can contend with much more power simply by letting the other person pit themselves against the force instead of you.

    The Path of the Open Hand: Their beliefs are more or less the opposite of Kreia's. They believe that that it's not the Force that's the enslaver, but the people using it. Including the Jedi. They believe that if you use the Force, even if it's for good, you will ultimately cause harm somewhere else. Their mission is to free the Force from all who would enslave it. It's a shame none of the lore channels ever discuss the High Republic. There's so much cool lore there, and it's absolutely not creatively bankrupt like some (who very obviously haven't read any of the books) claims. The Old Republic remains my favourite era, but the High Republic is a lot more creative.

    This is not directly related to the video topic, although details within the video reminded me of a couple of things I wanted to bring up with Star Wars fans, and I figure this is one of the best channels to bring it up. I recently re-watched the "Star Wars: Rebels" series and was reminded of two factors that have played or may play in the future of Star Wars. First, I know many people/fans were dumbfounded by General Organa's ability to pull herself from the vacuum of space when the bridge of her star-cruiser was compromised and all present were ejected into space, General Organa being the only survivor. In season 3, episode 3, Kanan Jarrus (Jedi Knight) accomplished the same feat when he is tricked by Maul and ejected out of an airlock, so the ability for a Jedi (or Force-wielder) to do such a thing did have precedence. Makes you wonder how long a force-wielder could survive in the vacuum of space. Second thing I want to bring up involves the Night-Sisters' ability to resurrect themselves. As mentioned in the video, this is typically done via corpses of fallen Night-Sisters, however, in season 3, episode 11 of "Rebels," deceased Night-Sisters are able to invade and take over the living bodies of Sabine and Kanan. So, since the Night-Sisters are able to resurrect corpses and take over the bodies/minds of persons/species that are not of Dathomir, then perhaps there could be corpses, other than Night-Sisters, held within the vast number of crates seen being loaded onto Thrawn's Star Destroyer in the "Ahsoka" series. They could be filled with former crew members of said Star Destroyer. This could be further reason for returning to Dathomir as that is where they would be able to find the spiritual-remnants of all the fallen Night-Sisters. Take the corpses back to Dathomir, let the deceased Night-Sisters have the corpses. Boom, instant undead army.

    I think my view is similar to that of Kreia's, but with very different conclusions: A non-force sensitive could feel the emotions spurned by the Jedi without becoming a twisted, corrupted evil, while force-users were in danger. This means that the force is an inherently corrupting influence to any sentient species that could "fall to the dark side." The Jedi method of collecting force users as children and training them to control their emotions was a very effective if nontheless imperfect method of preventing force-sensitives falling to the dark side, while also being a powerful organisation that could counter dark-side force users. I imagine the comparitative risks of training force-sensitives vs. leaving force-sensitives alone were weighed, the former making them more powerful in the force and thus a bigger threat should they turn, but also teaching them control, while the latter leaving them to their own devices and without expert guidance. This is also why they only took in very young children, I imagine, since their risk of training outweighed the threat they might pose untrained and alone. All in all, the Jedi way was a very pragmatic method of limiting the damage the force could do - the Light side was not perfect, but it was better than the alternative. And since it wasn't perfect, its members and the organisation could be corrupted in _other_ ways, such as during the Clone Wars were they shifted their focus to the war and politics instead of mitigating the Dark side. I don't see destroying the Force as very feasible, so I think that the Jedi solution was probably the best that was possible.

Like the Web (that everything in the force was connected, and the last few wove themselves in cocoon made from the force, and their conscious survived for millennials til Like broke their cocoon), The Wave (where you let the force guide you in all acts of life, not using [abusing] the force that things all happen for a reason, and that you should trust the gentle guidance of the wave), Sage (Darth Bane, and his apprentice met a man [Bane's apprentice's brother] who got his power from plants, and living a simple life style, Bane's apprentice said that she felt a strange aura of the force from him, but not the kind she usually felt from the Jedi or the sith) This vid was gonna be called the "Different Sides of the Force" :/ been sitting on this vid idea for a long while

    Well the Zeffonians are, to the best of my knowledge, extinct. The Chiss only have access to the Force in a brief and specific way. The Dathomiri Nightsisters are fairly isolationist. Emperor Valkorion of the Zakuul Empire was killed centuries ago, and not long after Vaylin and Arcann were killed, the Zakuul Empire ceased to be. Vagadarr's views and methods revolve around a living rock golem that I presume is only found on Vagadarr. Kreia died before Valkorion and her philosophy has only been confirmed to be seen once since, by Luke Skywalker who had a different outlook on how to deal with such a bleak perspective. The Rakatan Empire was largely reduced to dust millennia ago after they wiped themselves out. The Aing-Tii sound like they wouldn't attempt to fill the boots of either the Jedi or Sith; certainly they wouldn't force their views on anyone.

    My view comes from a combination of the pre-Jedi/Sith folk who were put on a planet by other more enlightened beings that seemed to want to teach them the nature of the Force. On this planet if the force got out of balance there would be nasty force storms. Someone to light was made to focus on the dark and vice-versa. This imbalance concept then seem to expand from a pure planetary basis to a more galactic basis when the Jedi and Sith were formed and the Sith and then the Jedi left that planet. As these "force storms" moved from a single planet to the entire galaxy in the form of, I believe, galactic wars caused by this imbalance in the Force. Which is mirrored in the concept that if there arose a great dark or light force user the Force would create a counter part to that and the Force Storms would continue. As such, and as RensStoryteller states, balance in the force means balancing the force within so that is does not become unbalanced without. However, I also find the multi-colored view of the force to be quite interesting as well, since not only were these users potentially more powerful than the Jedi/Sith but they used it without seeming issues with this Light vs Dark side issue. So perhaps this blending of the use of the force was done using balanced elements of the Light and Dark in a way that created colors beyond just Black (all colors) and White (absence of color). I tried to approach this from an RPG mechanics stand point and tried to figure out a means of creating a system that reflected the balance concept where one used the Light (for control) and the Dark (for power) which seems to me to be a means if fully understood would be a beneficial means of doing so. There was also a group that came sort-of after the Jedi/Sith from the lady who was a Jedi became a Sith then broke away from the Sith and taught a more balanced approch. These folk, while still thought of as Sith by the Jedi, used both Light and Dark in harmony and most never gave into the Dark Side -- so again this strongly speaks to the seeming fact that the Force is meant to be used in balanced way.

    The Jedi don't fear the power of the Force. They respect it, and understand that it needs to be used carefully. They've had 25,000 years of scholarly insight, practical experience, and spiritual understanding to work this out. It's the same as how the Path Of The Open Hand have a completely broken philosophy and it is just daft when they try to argue that they somehow know better after less than 100 years of existing.

    Those would be under the category of good. Remember that evil seeks to corrupt and destroy and there are many ways to do that. Good seeks to build bridges and create and there are many ways to do that as well. Jedi "good" is not the only type of good and Sith "evil" is not the only type. They just get more screen time because they're usually where all the action is.

    Idea of force as Rainbow is actually supported by sources. Lightsaber colors were usually associated with different aspects of the force. Green, Yellow and Blue with Jedi. While Orange, Red and Purple with the Sith. But those were not clear divisions. Like Mace Windu using Kyber and techniques associated with Sith Warriors. When Jedi Healers use "Pink" Lighsabers (natural Red crystals) as manipulation of life was classic Sith technique and use of those powers needed to be heavily regulated (red crystals were banned by the Jedi Council for political reasons and healers almost not use swords anyway). While Jedi also commonly didn't trust Yellow Kyber crystal users, who have tendency of breaking protocols and somewhat vampire powers. It is why Jedi Sentinels were turn into ridged secret police (what actually betray order becoming Inquisitors). While most actual Sentinels were pushed out of order and become some unimportant agricultural Jedi. As Order didn't understand they powers, what actually make them extra capable of tracking Sith, as they could sample powers of Force users. Greatest Jedi of all time Meetra Surik actually was a Jedi Sentinel. There was also rare White Kyber, what implied someone who find true balance of the force (Black Kyber do not exist, those are elaborate forms of energy blades). Though White crystals was also associated with fanatics, who commonly go rouge against Jedi Order (so called Gray Jedi). So there may be truth in claims that Force is actually evil?

I mean Palpatine has to use cloning technology and other people to revive himself… Tenebrae does it pretty much all himself. I mean he kills entire planets without any super weapon. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I feel like you should do a video about the two and compare them. Strengths and weaknesses of both. And a brief history of them both.
