The Force
The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. - Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi
The Force. The life energy of the Galaxy. It is infused in every living being, whether they are aware of it or not. It is through the Force that life exists.
The Force is most accutely sensed by microorganisms known as midi-chlorians, who live in every living being. Midi-chlorians communicate the Force to their host, allowing them to control the Force to unleash powers.
The Force consists of two parts, the Light Side, representing restraint and compassion, and the Dark Side, representing emotion and the self. Force-users will typically focus their studies on one side of the force or the other, beliving that one side matches their beliefs and the other is antithetical. Often, Light Side Force-users wield their power for good, and Dark Side Force-users become corrupted and use their power for evil. The most famous users of the Light Side are the Jedi, and their enemy, the Sith, are the most famous users of the Dark Side.
However, some believe that one should be in balance with both the Light Side and the Dark Side. Some call these people Gray Jedi. Although, that term is also used for Light Side Force-users who do not associate themselves with the Jedi Order, like former Jedi Ahsoka Tano.
Manifestation
The Force can manifest in many different ways, ways that some might call sorcery.
The Force can be used to bolster one's physical abilities, like Force Jump or Force Bolster.
The Force can be used to enact psychic abilities, like Force Push/Pull or the Jedi Mind Trick. Practioners of the Force tend to have fast reflexes as a result of minor foresight. They can also peer into the minds of others.
Wielders of the Dark Side of the Force can use the Force for destructive means, like Force Lightning or Force Choke.
