Original films/Skywalker saga[edit]

I reverted a change to relabel the "Original films" section "Skywalker Saga." I think those of us who watch for Disney press releases and follow the franchise get the moniker, but less casual fans/viewers probably are less likely to get the scope of that label. Other thoughts? --EEMIV (talk) 02:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Light-Side vs. Dark Side of The Force[edit]

Any and all references in this article to, "the Light-Side of The Force" should be removed. Those words have never been uttered by George Lucas nor any canon source. There is only The Force, which is good, and the Dark-Side of the Force. The Dark-Side is merely the twisting of The Force for evil or selfish purposes. Saying that someone is a "Light-Side Jedi" is laughable since the Jedi by their very nature use The Force in its' proper form. If someone can point out canon information showing that Lucas ever used, "the Light-Side of the Force", then I am in error. I hope that someone who has interest in this article reads this and either agrees or disagrees with me. If I don't get a canon justification for that phrase, I will edit this article so that any reference to "the light-Side of The Force" is eliminated.

It was used in The Clone Wars and Rebels. Do not eliminate it. oknazevad (talk) 13:45, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a citation. I've never watched either series and have no idea if the phrase, "the Light-Side of The Force" was ever used. We need a citation in order to make such a claim. Jtpaladin (talk) 23:45, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If it's on screen, that's the citation itself. It's your responsibility to actually watch the episodes to verify. Especially when the phrase is used many times and therefore difficult to specify a particular reference that is more significant than others. oknazevad (talk) 00:17, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The Veil of the Force"[edit]

In 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)[reply]

"Force spirit" v. "Force ghost"[edit]

Do 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)[reply]

Newton's Third Law negation,[edit]

As 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[edit]

I 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)[reply]
