Pelosi playing the long game is the smart move. As more evidence like this piles up, the Trump Team loses more and more credibility. Soon there will be republicans in closely divided districts that will face pressure as independents and moderate voters see that Trump did in fact commit a crime. They're the ones most likely to turn and vote to convict.

mwe's Zama-shiwo skills were said to have given him supernatural powers that would alter his heart and oxygen intake<\i>

Zama-shiwo =\= The Force

His devotion to spirituality helped him overcome his blindness and become a formidable warrior

From the same article. ^^

altering his heart would help with, say, his strength and agility. But the ability to react and perceive others was strictly done through the Force.

It is a direct requirement to be a Force sensitive to use the Force. Shut the fuck up.

Chirrut mwe was not "force sensitive," but though being a strong believer and self-taught in how to let go, he allowed the force to guide him and let him see.

Are you under the impression that all Force users are Jedi?

That's exactly what I'm not saying.

I'm saying a Jedi is someone who: A) Surrenders to the Will of the Force and B) Confronts fear.

I'm saying that anyone can be trained to use the Force and anyone can be a Jedi. Some people are better predisposed to it, but it's not a direct requirement.

Yes, because a JEDI KNIGHT is someone knighted by another member of the Order, and is a specific sect of Force-users. Luke was always Force-sensitive, his motherfucking father was the Chosen One.

Bureaucracy, ceremonies, and selective exclusivity are what defines a Jedi then? Ok.

Where was the Order when Luke became a jedi? Who knighted him?

Except you do. Force-sensitivity is required to be a Jedi, and only an exceedingly small amount of people are born Force-sensitive.

No it's literally not lol.

Luke could use the Force all throughout Episodes 4 and 5, but wasn't acknowledged as a Jedi by Yoda until he confronted his fear and surrendered to the Light Side of the Force.

...Are you for real right now?

The Rebels use the phrase constantly. Why would a fleet of hundreds of people who can't use the Force still use that phrase? Because they believe in its ability to guide them.

Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars"

The Force isn't just a thing to be used. It also guides people and has its own will.

The difference between the people whom it guides (ie. every living thing) and the people who use it (Jedi) is training.

Leia has heard of it. We can assume that many others on her ship believe. Why didn't they use it? Because she's the only one that was Force sensitive.

Why do they all say "May the Force be with you" If they couldn't use it?

I'm sorry what? The Force is essentially all living things. Of course someone would hear/feel the anguish of living things dying as their planet blows up. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Force, dude.

You're missing my point entirely. The first movie directly establishes that anyone can be trained in the ways of the Force, regardless of what's in their blood. Sure, some people are gifted, but that doesn't exclude anyone from being able to use it.

ASithLord7 posted...

Are you literally using the OPINION of a character who has nothing but disdain for the Jedi to justify your stupid argument? Good lord what a fucking reach.

I'm using a quote from the movie. It's also not an opinion. He's not the only person to describe it as a religion or faith.

I mean, it's wholly possible that dude has never heard of the Force and Vader was having none of it. That does not imply that you only need faith.

Han's definitely heard of it. He definitely doesn't believe in it and definitely can't use it either.

But that is being force sensitive...

Then by that logic everyone is force sensitive.

Obi Wan heard "Millions of voices cry out", were there millions of jedi hiding on Alderaan?

Back then it was the people who believe in it and surrender to it that get the most benefit.

Why didnt Dooku teach Grievous to use the Force and not just lightsaber combat?

The answer is that Grievous isnt Force sensitive.

Or maybe that the Force, which is described as being a part of all living things, wasn't a part of someone who was 90% droid?

Or maybe Dooku didn't bother to teach him since having 4 arms with lightsabers was sufficient?

Or maybe he DID know how because Grievous was quoted as saying he was trained "In the Jedi Arts" and not "In lightsaber combat" specifically?

Except it was already established that some people are Force sensitive and others arent. The former was in the minority.

Just because some people are predisposed to it doesn't mean it's an exclusive group. It was established from the first films as an extinct following or religion, not something that "you either have or you don't"

And let's not forget that in Rogue One we were introduced to a guy who had no formal training and wasn't "Force Sensitive" but believed in the Force to the point where it guided him and allowed him to see even though he was blind.

The kid at the end was Force Sensitive. Anyone can use the Force was NEVER implied and never would or will be

It was implied from the first movie. The way of the Force was a religion, not a birthright. If the prequels never existed, Luke was just a farmboy who was trained by a wise old man to use a mysterious power that is literally quoted as "surrounding and penetrating" all living things. Han was the direct counter to this, he didn't believe in the Force and never believed in anything but himself.

I didn't care much for Force Awakens. I thought Rey had zero personality, Poe didn't feel more than a side character on par with Chewy, and Finn was awesome but underutilized.

Last Jedi wasn't a masterpiece by any means, but I can respect that it dared to be different. And I liked some of the ideas it developed on.

Mainly I liked Luke's rejection of the old Jedi Order and how bureaucratic it became. I liked how he disillusioned Rey to the idealistic hero figure he became known as and his desire to be humble again. Even though the dialogue was awful, I liked when Kylo told Rey that her parents were nobodies and that she came from nothing. Granted I'd have liked to have seen that rather than be told it, but it was still a good moment. It showed Rey accepting her surrogate family with Finn and Poe, rather than needing a traditional family to validate her.

I liked the end scene with the kid using the force on the broom, showing that you don't need to be someone special. And I liked when Kylo Ren rejected his desire to be more like Vader and instead pursue his own goals.

But parts of both Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker backpedaled on a lot of this. They go back to the notion that you need to be born with the gift of the force. In fact, Abrams said in an interview that during the quicksand scene Finn was going to tell Rey that he can sense the force, but left it unsaid because it would discredit the "bloodline" thing.

During the film Rey constantly rejected being with Poe and Finn and kept going out on her own. And the times they were together were filled with awkward feelings and arguments between them. Never once did she realize she needed them or their help to succeed. They felt like an "A cast" and "B cast" who had separate adventures that didn't come together until the hug at the end.

And they backpedaled on Kylo Ren being different from Vader. At the very start of the film he reforges his mask and he goes on to be redeemed just as Vader did.

The one line I absolutely love from Rise of Skywalker is when Ghost Luke says to Rey that "It's the Jedi's destiny to confront fear." This shows maturation on Luke's view from Last Jedi and it still holds onto the ideal that anyone can be a Jedi. A Jedi doesn't need to be born with "Over 20,000 midichlorians", they just need to believe in the force and fight fear. By this definition, Finn was just as much of a Jedi as Rey was.

Finn was such a wasted character. He had an awesome actor and a lot of potential. Last Jedi delegated him to a shitty B Plot and Rise of Skywalker had him and Poe interact minimally with Rey. Hell, BB8 was Poe's Droid from the start and yet is the only other character standing with Rey at the end.

I'm not saying Rey's a bad character btw. She improved a lot since Force Awakens. But they didn't utilize the group's chemistry at all, and their attempt at mimicking Han, Luke, and Leia fell flat.

Anyway I'm kinda going all over the place with these opinions, but that's because the whole Sequel Trilogy was all over the place. Ultimately it suffered from two directors playing tug of war with themes and storytelling and failed to add anything really thought provoking or new to the saga. Anything that it tried to say was either lukewarm in presentation or backpedaled on by one of the directors in a later film.

Such as "If you're going to do a Trilogy, have a clear goal in mind for the three movies and have a consensus with all major parties involved"

Or "Don't let three different writers and two directors tell what needs to be one singular storyline"

Or "Maybe George Lucas kind of knows what he's doing because even the prequels didn't flop this hard"

Or "Buying the biggest film IP in history to milk it in the short term likely isn't going to pay off"
