Zen and the Art of Being Jedi: A possible reason for the change in the Force

» CBJ - A possible reason for the change in the Force

Thanks for the compliments. I too was a bit disappointed that Lucas would make such a noticeable change concerning such a key element of the Star Wars universe.

But recently, while talking to a friend and co-worker of mine, he brought up a good point.

It is highly rumored that one of the key elements in either Episode II or III will be the mysterious "Clone Wars," which were alluded to in A New Hope. He speculated that something tangible must be needed in order for the Jedi or the Sith to create clones, if this is indeed the meaning of the Clone Wars.

Perhaps Lucas felt that he needed to make this change in order to develop the plot farther down the road. But it was more mystical before.

In addition, I recently visited the new Star Wars topic here on Suite, edited by Shelly Hemig, and she has a nice little article about some corners that Lucas has painted himself into and plot problems he must overcome. You can check out the article, "Luke and Leia—Hiding the Twins," by clicking this link.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see how the story unfolds.
