"The Veil of the Force"
editIn Episode 13 of Season 4 of the animated show "Star Wars: Rebels," a canon series, "The Veil of the Force" was introduced as a concept. It is loosely based on String Theory, although an outlandish, magical version of it. Lucasfilm writers have proposed it (not officially) as a potential tool for adjusting canon in various ways. Eventually, it may need to be added into this article as a section... if the concept continues to rise in prominence. -- Sleyece (talk) 23:34, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
"Force spirit" v. "Force ghost"
editDo we have a source for the adoption of the term "Force spirit"? To the best of my knowledge, the term has always been "Force ghost". -- JascaDucato (talk | contributions) 12:58, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Newton's Third Law negation,
editAs it is said under "Scientific analyses", the conclusion that Newton's Third law applies to the user, may have been incorrect. Since the Force is present in all things, and the user is actually instructing the Force to move something, the resulting counter force is negated by the omnipresence of the Force itself. The counterforce is spread around on all things, essentially pushing all away from the 'forced' object, with said resultant counterforce being spread on everything else. It's not Newton's third law being undone, but being relatively negated. Everything for Force users is done through the Force, which is omnipresent and thus spreads all counterforces across said omnipresence, not bearing down on said or each user themselves. Much like Yoda felt a great loss when the Emperor destroyed the planet, and with that a great loss of life was done within the Force. There was no recoil on Yoda, besides feeling the loss, nor was Yoda aware that Alderaan was being destroyed, and thus not focused on it. The only way for Yoda to feel such was his connection to the Force, and that being omnipresent as well, since the distance for regular Force interactions by users is not light years away, and yet Alderaan was lightyears away from Yoda. No Force user actually has any ability by themselves, but they can wield power through it.
Live long and prosper
editI hate to ask myself whether the point about the punctuation was intentionally left from the joke: May, the Fourth, be with you. Equinox was the first movie produced by the special effects expert. The star guest from Equinox published a novel in 1945: Destiny Times Three. Star Trek, Mirror Universe, anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:A548:AB1D:0:75D3:7CC4:DD46:E7FB (talk) 21:06, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
The Tao
editI realise this may simply have been me extrapolating from one context to another, or even simply free-associating between concepts; but I thought, given the amount of influence which Kung fu films have had on the Star Wars franchise, that The Force was simply Lucas' in-world equivalent of the Tao, the cosmic power-source which unites and motivates everything. But I can't find a quotation to back it up. Can anyone help? Nuttyskin (talk) 03:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
