New Lucasfilm CCO Dave Filoni sets the record straight on who can or can’t use the Force within the Star Wars canon.With quotes via That Park Place, Filoni appeared on Entertainment Weekly’s Dagobah Dispatch podcast, where he explained how Sabine was able to quickly execute great feats using the Force despite lacking Force sensibility. This was at odds with how many fans understood the Force’s inner workings. “The idea that she’s not incredibly adept at wielding the Force, I think,” Filoni says, “is a strong thing… It’s amazing how fans and the Star Wars franchise have evolved. There are all these thoughts, and opinions, and groups. You can find different camps on how they think everything works. But very fundamentally, if you just pay attention to the films George made, you understand that the Force is an energy field created by all living things.”Some fans took this to be a retcon, with the idea of M-counts or the number of midichlorians in your cells taken as an indication that only special individuals can use the Force. Filoni’s explanation would agree with this theory in that some have innate talents. However, this wouldn’t stop those with a certain amount of commitment and luck from achieving great feats. A CBR piece shares this opinion, proposing that the Jedi Order losing its way and using blood tests to find Force-sensitive individuals may have compounded this misunderstanding.
