Star Wars just completely rewrote the rules of the Force forever with its latest Visions release. In Star Wars lore, the Force is an energy field created by all living things. As Obi-Wan Kenobi pointed out in Star Wars: A New Hope, "it surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together." Its two main aspects include the Living Force, the energy of life itself, and the Unifying or Cosmic Force, the larger web of destiny, and what lies beyond death. Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace added more detailed explanations behind what lies beneath the Force, using the Midichlorians as its scientific anchor, describing them as the symbiotic microscopic organisms in the cells of living beings that allow connection to the Force. Higher counts equal greater potential, with Anakin Skywalker having the highest recorded midichlorian count in Star Wars history. The Force flows through living cells; without them, there is no natural connection. Star Wars Visions' Latest 2026 Release Redefines the Rules of the Force Read full article on The Direct.
