Another week passed, another week without starting the training to become a Jedi…

Part of the whole Star Wars appeal for me was always the idea of a Jedi Knight. Having a lightsaber, becoming an expert in close-range combat, being able to deflect blaster shots, and controlling the Force sound like a terrific set of skills to have. They could also be useful for everyday activities if you find a way to apply them to them.

The idea of the Force was always fascinating for me, mostly because the way it works resembles telekinesis an awful lot. Moving objects with your mind was always a dream of mine. It would make everything easier. No more needing to tell your sibling to pass the salt, or having to climb on a stool every time something is too high up and we can't reach it. For us petite girls, being able to use the Force would come in handy really often.

There is also sensing other people's feelings, being able to implant ideas, convince them to do things with the Jedi mind tricks, and feel the disturbances in the world. The thing about the Force is that, no matter if you have a strong connection to it or not, it is part of you and all living things, so if you know how to use it, there's no need for anyone else to tell you how they feel, what they think, or what is happening. Things just fall into place, and you can feel them. It's primal, instinctive, but also really careful and technical, and it requires years to perfect it.

Being a Jedi is off the question for us. Those who grew up waiting for their Hogwarts letter to arrive and never did will understand me because it is the same feeling. At least we can go back and watch the movies to feel like we're there ourselves. In the meantime, we can laugh at these galactic memes!
