I’m glad that this new series of stories hopefully extends the mysteries if the Force. You mentioned the conversation between Yoda and Windu saying “Our ability to use the Force has diminished,” It reminds my of the fantastic book series The New Jedi Order. There was one character, Vergere who was trying to teach a new belief that Jedi need to accept that the light side and dark side cannot exist without each other. I think the Jedi have spent generations of teaching to focus peace and serenity that it is they who blocked their ability to detect certain “disturbances” in the force

Ooo, that’s a really interesting idea! Very intriguing to consider the possibility that the Jedi created their own blind spot on this. Thanks for chiming in! –Allen
