Other Force Religions In Star Wars

Thank you all for the support on my videos!! I am so happy you enjoy them. Let me know what you think about this one - and feel free to suggest video ideas too!

Jedha is kind of analogous to Jerusalem, being a city of major importance to multiple religions and being in a desert region. This was a great video! The Sorcerers of Tund sound cool, if only because they can apparently use Force Fire, which since they're Light aligned in canon could make it sort of an opposite to Force Lightning or Nightsister magic if you think about it 🤔

I’m a big fan of the exploration of various different religions that we’ve been getting lately. I’ll note that one of fairly relevant one you’ve missed here was the Lasat. How they believe in the Ashla or “spirit of the galaxy”. Which I only mention given its importance to Rebels.

Loved this one man! I consider myself a massive Star Wars fan and there was stuff in here that even I didn’t know. It’s just so refreshing to see such a well put together Star Wars channel that appreciates TLJ and the sequels instead of constantly attacking them. Also the editing is on point dude! Much respect to all the hard work you’re putting into these. Looking forward to what’s next!

My headcanon on religions is every planet formed their religions long before becoming space-worthy (or having space-worthy peoples visiting them), and when Force Sensitives were born, they became saints, miracle-workers, and otherwise special. Then those aforementioned spacers come, and Jedi visit, and tell them they (the Jedi) use the Force, and what their Special People do is the same, and so their religion is how they perceived the Force. After that, maybe they take the wordage of the Jedi on, or maybe they keep their own, but accept Jedi word that it is the same. That is, if it is Light Side and they don't get into a fight with the Jedi. This is also how I imagine Outer Rim cultures who almost never see Jedi work. Force Sensitives may figure out a few tricks, though unless they are near one of the Force religions you give in this video... maybe they call the Force "The Wind", and say the Wind is directing them.

Another amazing video from this channel! Your subject matter, presentation, and obvious passion for this franchise is commendable. One suggestion for a Force-based religion you didn't mention: the Narkis Anchorites of Jedha that we see in Jedi: Survivor. Particularly since the ending of Survivor implies that we may see more of them in the third Jedi game.

You did a great job at talking about most of the force religions! One you did forget was the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door, who used the Dark Side to change their appearance. I thought they were big standouts in the Battle of Jedha audiobook.

Great video! I really like your visuals. My favorite underrated Force religion is that of the Ewoks, who have both light and dark side-following shamans

It’s wild how all these religions retconned the force /s. The Acolyte reactions have been /painful/

Great video! I really enjoyed it! Only ones I can think of that would be missing are the Brotherhood of the Ninth door and potentially the Mudwellers and Rockhawkers from Yoda's secret war, as they use "Stonepower." Not as sure that'd be considered a religion though as it's mainly just using the Force still.

I don't know if they're still cannon, but the Voss Mystics and the Sorcers of Rhand are also pretty unique. The Jensaari and the Black Guard are also both interesting but share roots with the Jedi and Sith Orders. The Scions and Knights of Zakuul were both cool as well and incorporated the force into a pantheon of deities. One that I know is still canon that should have been at the Jehda Convocation are the Barren Do Sages. Although they also have many shared members in the Jedi order so perhaps they were represented by one of them.

AM a huge fan of the entire star wars regions l think it's so cool they are other species can use the force as part of their culture or their entire culture

Great Video as always, another actually more prominent group that could have fitted in this Video are the Knights of Ren. But I also understand the argument when you say they are only force users but not a religion. On the other hand they also have their own phisolophy regarding the force or how they call it: the shadow

Outstanding! The Force is strong in this channel and every new video proves it. You've got a good thing going here and it's getting better all the time. Interesting content, great delivery, keep it up man, we love you!

I think canon Star Wars digs deeper into the philosophical elements of the saga than Legends did. Legends was bland and very black and white. Not like Yin Yang, but like a black and white cookie. 😂

Thank you for this great video! I always wondered about other kinds of force users!

Very informative video. Had no idea there were so many force religions.

I'm so glad you mentioned the Path of the Open Hand. I'm currently re-listening to the High Republic novels on Audible while waiting for Temptation of the Force (in chronological order this time) and I'm listening to Path of Deceit at the moment. I really love the Path of the Open Hand as antagonists. It's a breath of fresh air to have a Force-related group of antagonists in Star Wars that's not dark siders. And the Fandom Menace is claiming that the High Republic is creatively bankrupt...🙄

Finally home after a few days, time to watch my new favorite channel, and his absolutely banger of a new video. We love SWC

Generation Tech made a video that was critical of Luminara Unduli, and it stated that she and Barriss Offee are from a people who have a primitive understanding of the Force and exclusively taught each other and no one else; that being said, I don't know if this is canon or legends, as Generation Tech pulls from both.
