It's a warning based on my analysis of Disney's behavior, no...

Re: Exodus Galaxy Force User Rule

Re: Exodus Galaxy Force User Rule
Right, that was it. If anything, it reinforces the point that everyone has the Force, or the potential for the Force. It doesn't negate midichlorians and their influence, but sticks to the "natural talent" interpretation. Someone with average IQ can get good grades with hard work; the Skyw...

One of the things I like about the Wookieepedia is that all information is vetted and notated using information from official canon books, movies and the animated shows.

As I said before, to me, the intent of the rule was obvious: to prevent a surplus of powerful Force users. Therefore, (1) "Force-sensitives" and very weak Force users shouldn't count against the rule, and (2) limited-effect characters (NPCs restricted to one thread with no effect on the ga...

Chirrut was a low-level Force user by word-of-God ("Force user" was how the role was described to Donnie Yen, according to interviews). He's also not a Force user by word-of-God (Star Wars Databank). Frankly, I find those two sources roughly even in canon, so which is correct is up for len...

I don't really know. I've only been there once, and I was like seven years old.
But the Mall of America had roller coasters and an entire store dedicated to LEGO, so it was pretty great.
