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.



I honestly don't like that part about the movies,the OT made it seem like the past wars and all the history of the force and Jedi was pretty old.Now with the PT,nobody should have forgotten about the huge earth shattering past or the force and Jedi.All this stuff just happened!

TheForce.net where your opinion and honest reaction to something isn't really how you feel it's just your lack of understanding and hatred of George Lucas.

id leia and han ever have kids? what happneed to thoose 2 lol

Han and Leia got married in 8 ABY, and had a set of twins, a son and a daughter, in 9 ABY, and a second son in 10 ABY.

If you're interested, Luke married an Imperial assassin in 19 ABY, and they had a son in 26 ABY. Luke also has three clones, two of which he actually consented to being cloned for (Long story. All three served the Empire, though.), and is a putative father (in one of those "the timing's just too perfect"-type things) for two girls from long before he married said Imperial assassin.

As of 40 ABY, while Han, Leia, and Luke are all still alive and kicking (Chewie's dead.), only Han/Leia's daughter and Luke's son survive in the next generation. Most of us expect them to survive because it's clear Luke has descendants in Star Wars Legacy and every idiot knows Han/Leia's daughter ends up with the new Emperor, who was appointed by Luke, as weird as it sounds.

Yes, Star Wars has more drama.

- the most infamous man in the galaxy Darth Vader was a known force user. he was a Darth! Darth's are Sith Lords.
- how do people forget so quickly about force using Jedi? it was a mere 20 years before order 66 when Jedi were prominent. 20 years is nothing. Jedi were Jedi because they could control the force, or else they would be normal people or other races.
- it's impossible to police an entire galaxy. you can destroy information and such, but you don't need documents or records to know about the force.

this is what happens when you write a story media res. when you go back and write the beginning story things don't quite match up properly.

yes, there is a comment here or there about obliviousness to the force in the OT. then there is a comment here or there about knowing about the force. the truth is, they should have known. if you see the stories layed out 1 to 6, the force should not have been depicted as some mysterious power. it should have been more common knowledge amongst the characters.

I'd like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Lucas for deciding to have sex that night.

Two girls? I can only think of one - Malinza. And three clones? As far as I can recall, one. Yoda Stories is non-canon.

And the new Emperor is Wedge Antilles' nephew, for kicks. tongue
