Author	Topic: Knowledge of the Force?
SithLord_1270 Registered: Nov '08	Date Posted: 3/6 4:01pm Subject: Knowledge of the Force?
	Was knowledge of the existence of the Force common? Luke reacts to OB1 like he's never heard of it when he mentions the force to Luke in ANH. In RotJ, leia just calls it a power she doesn't understand. not expecting her to have a thorough understanding of the force, but at least have some inkling of what Luke is using. Especially since her dad worked so closely with jedi. Or did, with the near extinction of the Jedi, the knowledge of the Force pass into legend & obscurity among those not familiar with Jedi or Force cults. -----signature----- Two there should be; no moer, no less.

	My guess is that Palps made talking about the Force illegal, so the younger generation knew little to nothing of it. -----signature----- We're Doing it Live!

	It was probably well-known, but not believed in by most people. If Han Solo knew of it, I'd say many people probably did. It was probably the mindset of most that it was simple tricks and nonsense. -----signature----- "I can't abide those Jawas... disgusting creatures"! - C3PO This sig line is [FABULOUSO!] www.outerrimsieges.com "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -- Carl Sagan

	And just how would Palpatine enforce such a decree? Microphones in everyone's home?

	He set up flags on the Holonet to alert the ISB of anyone attempting to look up information on the Jedi. And he ensured that most of the physical records of the Jedi were destroyed as well. The only things he allowed to remain were Imperial Museum exhibits depicting the Jedi as baby-snatchers, murderers and traitors. -----signature----- Will do moose stuff for money.

	Plus I'm sure for Luke's case, Owen really kept silent, because he didn't want him following in his father's footsteps. -----signature----- We're Doing it Live!

	By this time, most people didn't know about or didn't believe in the Force. Remember, even Admiral Motti referred to the Force as "sorcerer's ways". -----signature----- Twenty years ago, there was another Edward with a strange disposition and even stranger hair that the ladies swooned over.

	That's correct. It was one of Palpatine's safeguards against suspicions concerning his ascention to power. -----signature----- Twenty years ago, there was another Edward with a strange disposition and even stranger hair that the ladies swooned over.

	Plus, Luke was living in the sticks. He wouldn't hear about anything that Owen didn't want him to know. -----signature----- "Imaginary is the future. Always now, even eternity will be." - Yoda "We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." - The 14th Dalai Lama

	Two parts: 1. I agree that Luke was probably kept from knowing too much by Ben and Owen for his protection. 2. Han calls it a 'hokie' religion. I'm thinking it's like Harrie Chrisna's. Most people of heard of it, but couldn't really explain it if they had to.

	Han and Leia did have 3 kids. But to tell their stories would take a long time. I would advise against not looking up Jacen Solo on the Wookiee, at the very least, because there are some big spoilers about him that you can't avoid. -----signature----- Will do moose stuff for money.
