Hello
Hello my friends, how are you all?

I kind of promised in the last CRT that it would be the Force Spirit physiology thing. But I decided to do this first.

Everyone knows the Force (canon) page, I think? Anyway, it was my first Star Wars project here on the wiki and I didn't like how it turned out. Actually, the whole thing was supposed to be a draft for someone to finish for me, but I decided to publish it.

Over time I grew to hate some things about the page. My idea with the "Force Powers" section of the page was to list the general Force Powers and in the Force Sensitives section explain why X category of Force sensitive has that power. But I hated it over time for several reasons:
  • Redundancy of scans and references. Basically, the same scans used to explain the power also stated which category of force user generally used the power. Besides this repetition, I also had to repeat the references, which unnecessarily complicated things.
  • Skills listed without users. I've listed some skills that I haven't implemented on any character, such as levitation or the power nullification of the light side.
  • Unique powers. In my last CRT I added some abilities for Sidious and realized, why do I have to add them to this big Force Powers tab if only Sidious uses them? It's unnecessary.
So I'll explain what I changed and why.


Current page.

My sandbox

Changes (Resume)
--> Changing the page name to "Force Manipulation (Canon)"
  • I'm doing this because some users are interested in creating a character page for the Force, similar to what exists in Legends.
---> Change in the Summary (The linked notes already existed and were placed in previous CRTs. They are not being altered or modified)
---> Changing "Nature of the Force" to "The Force (or Force Energy)" (The P&A already existed and were placed in previous CRTs. The only thing I changed was removing Transduality)

  • I am removing Transduality (type 1)
---> Adding the "Untrained" and "Jedi Initiate" tabs to the Force-Sensitives section.
---> Adding more P&A to Force Sensitives and a bunch more scans for already existing powers.
---> Adding Rarer abilities Tab


The new powers added.
Statistics Amplification and Damage Boost (Uncontrollably and spontaneously, the energy of the Force enhances the user's natural abilities—amplifying speed, stamina, athleticism, and agility—and can surge forth in combat with every strike delivered, turning the user into a monstrous fighter with heightened reflexes)
Accelerated Development (Force-sensitive beings can gain significant power with each victim killed. Probably exclusive to the Dark side)
Telekinesis Projection, Limited Air Manipulation and Explosion Manipulation (Force-sensitives can access and channel the energies of the Force to manipulate the galaxy around them, employing abilities such as telekinesis—the power to move objects with the mind—which in combat manifests through techniques like Force Push, which utilizes telekinetic energy to push objects away from the caster and propel beings or objects outward, and Force Pull, which draws them toward the user. At more powerful levels, Force Push can generate a telekinetic impulse that unleashes a concussive burst of pressurized air akin to an explosion, with its intensity varying depending on the user—from merely staggering a target to shattering solid stone. Telekinesis can block telekinetic attacks)
Aura (Jedi bring the presence of the Light side of the Force, which can interfere with the concentration of other beings. Exclusive to the Light side)
Animal Manipulation (With Beast control, a Jedi can use the Force to calm wild animals and form a mental bond with them, not to control but to influence and persuade, reaching through the Force until their minds and wills move in harmony as one)
Enchance Air Manipulation (With Force Barrier, The Force can be used to manipulate the atmosphere around a user, to create a bubble to protect them and others from harmful environments)
What I did NOT mention already exists on the page and has already been accepted previously. So please, let's not keep citing things that have already been accepted and are not up for discussion.

Anyway, you'll notice bigger justifications and more scans in existing P&A. And that's basically it, I added a ton of scans in various powers (Mind Trick, Force Lightning, Telekinesis, Force Barrier, Force Absorption, etc.).

Note: The only thing I'm changing/removing from the Force Energy P&A is Transduality. The reason is that it probably no longer fits current standards, since now it has to have logical negation and not things like "transcends the duality of life and death".

Powers that I Removed (Force Powers)
In the process of removing "Force Powers," I completely removed some powers, as they didn't fit the overall P&A of the Force-sensitive categories.
In the future, I will reintroduce these powers, in the form of individual powers for the characters who first possessed them.

The "Rarer abilities" Tab
Yes, I know what I said about listing powers and then explaining them, and why I'm removing that. But this is the exception.

This part only exists to explain that this concept exists in the universe (Unique powers from birth or specific training), powers that deviate from the general standard of Force powers of Force users. Besides being a list to help us know which powers fall into this category.

If we receive more scans detailing any Force Powers as described, more scans will be added to the text.

I put "Possibly more" at the end because there are powers that aren't said to be rare or unique to a particular user, but that only that user has used. The best example I can give is Darth Sidious, who has several powers that only he has demonstrated/declared as having, but which have never been said to be rare or unique, etc.


General P&A Explanation for Force Sensitives.
Okay. I think this is going to be the most controversial part.

Because I added X or Y power as a default for X or Y category of Force Sensitive. Some, I think, are more explicit than others.

I'll try to give a quick summary.
Untrained
To create this tab, I based it on what Leia, Finn, and the Knights of Ren demonstrated (and a little bit of Erza before any training as well).

I think everything here is pretty self-explanatory? Everyone demonstrated Force Sense.

Telepathy is a general statement about Force sensitives.

And the rest is derived from the Knights of Ren and scans of them.
-
NOTE:
Just explaining a few things about this tabber so no one gets confused.

In this tabber, the characters' powers are uncontrollable and limited. Just because character X or Y is in this category doesn't mean they will be able to use those powers, much less all of them.

This tabber is more about their potential, what they can potentially do under certain conditions (For example, Leia's first use of Force Sense was when Luke called for her, and Finn's Force Sense is more evident in relation to Rey) or in certain situations.

Basically almost unusable in VS Threads (obviously all the powers listed in this category are more controlled in higher categories like a full Jedi).
Jedi Initiate
Weapon Mastery (Self-explanatory in the justification)

Instinctive Action and Perception Manipulation (As described in the justification of power above, they learn to be guided by the Force)

Telekinesis e etc (They know telekinesis; part of their training involves creating their own lightsaber using telekinesis, in addition to having Tier 8 calculation)

Things from the dark side. I don't think there's much to explain, right? Like, basic things about accessing the dark side after having training. How do they know telekinesis, or would Force Choke be included.
-
I think the most controversial part here would be the power combination: "Body Control, Enhanced Statistics Amplification, Enhanced Damage Boost, and Limited Immortality (Type 2)." Note: This power combo already existed (it was added previously), I'm just changing tabbers.

And honestly, I'm not sure if it's better for this to be here or with the Jedi. I only put it here because Luke Skywalker (Marvel comics 2015), in terms of training, would basically still be an Initiate (despite being stronger than one) and he has superhuman feats (withstanding explosions, fighting IG-100, etc.)

Honestly, if you think this power combo doesn't belong in Jedi Initiate (and should only belong in Jedi), I completely understand. So if anyone disagrees, let me know and explain why. I have no problem moving them to a different tab.
Jedi
Acrobatics (Padawan training), Aura (described as something Jedi do), Force Speed (part of Jedi Training), Mind Trick (Seriously, it's nicknamed the Jedi Mind Trick), Beast Control (described as something Jedi do)

I think the most problematic ones are Force Barrier/Force Deflection and Force Stasis. But I included them here for two reasons.

1 - As you can see from the scans, these are powers used from Masters to Padawans (in fact, Force Stasis is the only power Cal Ketis possesses after being away from the Force and out of practice for many years. He hadn't even finished his training).

2 - Jedi are fully trained in the way of the Force. I interpreted this as them having all the Force Powers that aren't in the "Rare" category (like Force Healing and Force Echo) or that are exclusive to the Dark Side (Mind Probe Force Lightning).
Inquisitors
As you can see from the scans linked in the justification, Mind Probe is widely used by the Inquisitors to gather information.
Acolyte
It's the same thing as when I created the Star Wars page on my first Star Wars CRT. Nothing changes.
Sith Lord
I think they're all self-explanatory.

I added Immortality (Type 2) in a previous CRT out of curiosity.

I'm worried about the various CRTs I created using the "The Force" tag, which won't appear when I change the page name.

Please, someone tell me if there's a way to link the page to several different tags.

As I told you on PMs, genuinely, you will have to look up the threads and add the new tag yourself.

The rework for the page is fine, but frankly am indifferent to the change in name or the existence of a "character" page for The Force in disney canon.

Edit: Alright, I looked into it more deeply. For the tag situation, XenForo gives the option to mass edit a particular tag to those with admin rights (I only have a Moderator control panel), which I assume are the Super Admins and Bureaucrats.

@DarkDragonMedeus @Qawsedf234 @Just_a_Random_Butler would you be able to help with this?

Personally, I don't see much point in something like that since the Force acts more as a power system than as a character in itself (despite having its own will, etc.). But it seems that some users are interested in creating a character page like Legends, which is why I suggested the change.

:love:
 
And about the tags thing?
Once all this is finished and the page name is changed, you can change the threads with the tag "The Force (Canon)" to "Force Manipulation (Canon)". I checked the threads with this tag and they all refer to the canon Force page.

I'm actually not sure how to do that tbh.

Checking the current tag, there aren't that many threads as I thought, so I can take care of it manually.

But maybe something to research for the future. Maybe ask Ant on PMs if our manager can implement the option on the control panel? I saw other xenforo forums seemingly with the option.

Hey man, when I apply the changes (when I have time), and you change the page name (it can be to Force Manipulation or Force Manipulation (Canon), it doesn't matter since there's no other page with that name, you decide), instead of changing my CRTs (and others') from the "The Force (Canon)" tag to the new name, just add the tag for the new name (Force Manipulation and Force Manipulation (Canon)). Because technically it still has to do with the Force.

If you're confused, basically the tags in this CRT we're working on, you can see that I added two.

-

Now I remembered that I'll have to change the link of all the Force Sensitives pages when the name changes. I can do that myself, I just wish you would change the ones on the locked pages (since it's faster than you unlocking them, me changing them, and you locking them again). If you can help, I'd appreciate it.
 
I've applied the changes. All that's left is to change the page name and the tags.

Besides changing dozens of links.
