THE ESSENTIAL DOCTOR WHO
The mysterious, underlying concept in the Star Wars universe is the Force, the strange energy harnessed both by Jedi Knights and their sinister enemies. The idea was first outlined by Ben ‘Obi-Wan’ Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977). “The Force is what gives a Jedi his power,” he tells Luke Sykwalker. “It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.”
