Star Wars introduced a new version of the Force in 2002 that could have redefined the mystical energy field, but Lucasfilm scrapped the idea.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Star Wars franchise nearly redefined the Force forever over two decades ago, but this new approach was quickly abandoned. Had Lucasfilm committed to this alternate view of the Force, there would have been countless directions for Star Wars and many exciting stories to be told. At the same time, many fans would have rejected the idea, believing Star Wars had abandoned a fundamental aspect of the Force.
While Star Wars didn't redefine the Force, the influence of this new approach still affects the franchise today. Star Wars fans have always debated "balance" in the Force, and the movies and TV shows continue exploring different concepts. The upcoming Star Wars movies have an opportunity to confirm, deny, or acknowledge what the franchise tried to set up 21 years ago, redefining the Force all over again.
Matt Stover's Traitor Introduced The Potentium, A New Approach To The Force Star Wars: The New Jedi Order - Traitor by Matthew Stover saw Jedi Knight Jacen Solo imprisoned by the Yuuzhan Vong, where a mysterious woman called Vergere introduced him to a philosophy known as the Potentium. The Jedi Order firmly believed there was an external light and dark side to the Force, but Vergere gradually convinced Jacen that light and dark were internal concepts.
As intriguing as the Potentium is, the truth is that it radically clashes with George Lucas' explanation of the Force. Lucas acknowledged the existence of a light and dark side that needed to be kept in balance, but he still believed that the light was the better path to follow. The movies also make clear that while living beings create and influence the Force, the Force can affect people in return.
In Star Wars Legends' "Dawn of the Jedi" era, the ancient Je'Daii Order embraced balance between the light and dark side. Unlike the Potentium, this view acknowledged the existence of a literal light and dark side, but the Je'Daii believed it was dangerous to delve too deeply into either. They recognized that light and dark exist in all things, so leaning too much to either side would destroy the sacred balance.
