    Well, I will probably be yelled at for this. But, oh well...
    What does Force-Sensitive and Force-Attuned mean? We see these on Captain Piett, Admeral Piett, Moff Jerjerrod, etc.

    Thanks,
    Capt_Piett

    All those titles are meant to communicate is the level of Force sensitivty...and in general terms "intelligence" and "cunning". Just because Piett is "Force Attuned" in the game, doesn't mean he's going to run off to be a Sith ;)

    From the Star Wars CCG Glossary:

    Force Sensitivity: describes a character's level of ability to use the Force.

    Force Attuned: a level of force sensitivity that indicates minimal awareness of and strength in the Force, but no training (represented in the game by an ability level of 3).

    Force Sensitive: level of Force sensitivity that indicates an awareness of and some training in the use of the Force (represented in the game by an ability level of 4 or 5).

    Force Attuned basicly means above-standard skills and capability, ie: Wedge, Han, Piett, Tarkin. A character who basicly would be seen by a Jedi as beinga bright spot in the force.

    Force Sensitive means they can actually be trained to manipulate the force.

    WHAT THEY ALL SAID!!!!!!

    Sorry, I just wanted to yell at you.

    On the same lines, a Jedi Knight has ability of 6, while a Jedi Master has 7.

    the force-attuned and force-senstive labels don't have much of an impact on the actual gameplay, but help people unfamilar with all the characters (or players just learning the game) what their level of skill is, even if they haven't yet learned what ability means in the game. Now, their actual ability value factors into numerous gameplay-related actions and cards. Jedi Knight and Jedi Master labels, though, do play into some gameplay actions.

    The labels have almost NO impact on the game. I can only find two cards that reference those labels....

    Our Most Desperate Hour says, "When Target reaches Utinni Effect, retrieve one lost Force for each Force-Attuned character you have on table, two for each Force-Sensitive or Jedi." ("Jedi" refers to "Jedi Knight" or "Jedi Master".)

    Darth Maul, Young Apprentice says, "If Maul hits a Jedi Master during battle, that Jedi Master is power -3 for remainder of battle."

    Other cards make reference to "Jedi", such as the saber combat and hyperdrive objectives.

    That's right. Hmmm... I wonder why my Deckmaker search didn't find them?

    Anyway, "Force Sensitive" and "Force Attuned" are practically useless in gameplay.

    I guess the problem is that they mean the same thing as Ability=3 and Ability=4, terms that take up less gametext space than "force-attuned" and "force-sensitive", so they're essentially redundant terms. Afterall, any card could just as easily say "character of ability=3", etc.

    What can you do about this? Nothing, really. As T2Q says, they're redundant. They just mean "Ability=3" and "Ability=4 or 5".

    You don't want to do anything about this. :) Many character cards which normally would have the "Force Sensitive/Attuned" label on them have an "Armor" value instead -- like Boussh, TK-422 and Boba Fett, just to name a few.
