What is the force?
This thing feels like borrowing from Eastern culture, just like the Star Wars series, especially the first three with a strong Japanese samurai grid. It’s hard to say clearly with Western culture. I think the Force is similar to "Tao"—— That is nature, this nature contains individuals, groups, and even the universe. Jedi Knights can use the force to communicate with the world, transform themselves, and become superhuman beings, similar to evolution.
But the Force is not just a kind of power. His strongest lies in his ability to perceive and predict. The power is only external, just a form of expression. In the eyes of the orthodox Jedi, the Force is only the terminal, a by-product of practice. , Not the purpose of practice.
Jedi knights must have a kind of particle, which makes them unique, and people with this quality span the entire universe, transcend races, and these individuals are like "the chosen one", they are unique since childhood, and have superior abilities. If they are given correct and good guidance, they will become a powerful positive force. On the contrary, if they use the original force to do evil, it will be extremely harmful. It is precisely because they are worried that these chosen children will be contaminated by the world, so the Jedi must be cultivated from an early age.
Over time, a group of Jedi knights was formed. This organization is similar to a religious organization. The original force is its belief. In order to prevent the warriors from doing evil, he formulated strict rules that are almost inhuman, so that the warriors can fully dedicate themselves to the entire universe. .
It’s a bit like Buddhism. Monks are forced to become monks, and it’s impossible to retreat. They concentrate on practicing, and their disciples will be born and practiced to make themselves aware of progress. After passing the test, they will become official samurai, then become masters, and then enter the Senate. .
At the same time, the Jedi Knights have strong competitors, share the same roots, and believe in the original force, but they pursue power too much, and their hearts fall into darkness. Like all cult martial arts, these Sith martial arts are exceptionally strong. Pursue worldly enjoyment, cruel and tyrannical, and unconstrained. Since the creation of the Force, the fight between the Sith and the Jedi has continued for generations, because the good and evil in human nature are as dependent on each other. However, in most times, the Jedi are victors, but their strongest opponent is themselves. .
