#Ahsoka S1 ended well, I think. And it reminds us all that the only limit to the Force is the mind and will of the channeller. Because the Force doesn't care about mass or distance or speed. It's only relationships are 1:1, if only we could truly imagine that.
@natural20 that's exactly the kind of thing that I'd say ruins the story, though.
It's like magic without limits so plots have no real impact or meaning or challenge.
No, it's better that the Force does have limits, and challenges for different people to use it, so that we have set up interesting plots as characters have to grapple with that reality.
Otherwise it's all just rather superficial and especially unrealistic, even if we suspend disbelief enough to imagine that some have such abilities.
@natural20 you say "Force sensitive person" but it's a big thing that Ahsoka seemed to undermine that by saying that everyone was force sensitive.
That was a big issue I had with the series.
@volkris I mean, maybe to some degree? But some will be so low on the spectrum as to effectively not be? Look, not denying it's a thing that Star Wars in general struggles with, but I guess it also feels a little like looking for issues? But obviously not going to tell you you should enjoy something you aren't enjoying.
@natural20 I'd say the force is so central to Star Wars that issues with how it's handled in the story loom really large.
The force is no minor side detail, so the writers really needed to nail how they addressed it. I'd say like so many other issues, Ahsoka botched how its writers handled the force.
@volkris I think we're saying similar things here. There are many, many challenges and each individual has different limits. I'm not suggesting that every Force sensitive person should have godlike powers or anything, but rather that the Force itself is completely connected. The limits and challenges, and overcoming them, is the story fuel. And no, I don't think every Star Wars story should centre Force sensitive folks.
