    • Life creates the Force, and makes it grow, creating an energy field that binds the galaxy together. All Force powers began with this simplest but most profound of realizations, one that lies at the core of a Jedi’s awareness and abilities.
    • The Force contains dualities – such as life and death, or light and dark – that it holds in balance while also transcending. For a Force-sensitive being at peace, this awareness could border on the ecstatic – a glimpse of a fundamental unity that underpins all of creation.
    • Beyond its dualities, the Jedi saw two complementary aspects of the Force. The living Force is generated by life, and masters such as Qui-Gon Jinn stressed the importance of being mindful of it, teaching Jedi to center themselves in the present instead of letting anxieties about the past or future cloud their awareness.
    • The energy of the living Force feeds into the Cosmic Force, which binds the galaxy together and has a will of its own. Jedi learned to understand that will by communing with midi-chlorians, microscopic lifeforms within living cells that act as symbiotes with organic beings and links between the living Force and the Cosmic Force.
    • Tapping into the Force gives Force-sensitive beings seemingly supernatural abilities – which some may not be aware they’re using. Anakin Skywalker became an ace pilot while still a child, but his lightning-fast reflexes were a product of subconsciously using the Force to see things before they happened.
    • Force users can sense things at a distance, particularly when events generate a disturbance in the Force or they have a strong connection to someone. Despite her lack of training, Leia Organa sensed Luke Skywalker’s plea for help as the Millennium Falcon fled Bespin.
    • Kylo Ren and Rey experienced a strange Force link that allowed them to interact despite being separated by many light-years. Before his death, Snoke claimed he had engineered this connection to test Kylo and trick Rey into revealing Luke’s location. Later, the two were revealed to be a rare and powerful dyad in the Force, perhaps explaining their bond – or at least its resilience and strength.
    • The Force can be used to influence the weak-minded. Such mind tricks can be used to avoid conflict – as Obi-Wan did at a Tatooine checkpoint – or to dominate others.
    • Kylo Ren and his master Snoke used the Force to extract information from people’s memories, though Kylo’s attempt to use this ability to rifle through Rey’s mind backfired. Kylo saw some of what he sought in Rey’s memories, but was unprepared for her own strength in the Force. Rey was also able to see into Kylo’s own mind and understand his deepest fears about himself.
    • Force-wielders can harness the Force to interact with objects, allowing them to do everything from lifting rocks to levitating starfighters. For someone with sufficient faith in the Force, size was immaterial, as an awestruck Luke learned on Dagobah.
    • The Force could also be used to injure or kill – as more than one Imperial officer discovered after failing to satisfy Darth Vader in his hunt for the rebels who’d destroyed the Death Star.
    • One of the most terrifying dark-side powers is the ability to generate Force lightning, blasts of energy that could be used to torture, disfigure, or kill an opponent. Count Dooku and Darth Sidious were masters of this dark art.
