    Hey, we’d like to guarantee your child a future of being one of the most important people in the galaxy, with all their needs met as we turn them into space wizards who fight evil.

    According to a lot of “not movies” media, many people who were trained to be Jedi didn’t make the cut. It’s one of those things that required a combination of remarkable effort and sheer talent and most people who were potential Jedi just lacked the raw skill to be considered one. As such, the Jedi had a large support auxiliary of force sensitive attendants and custodians who basically took care of the grunt work of the Jedi order. They weren’t true “Jedi Knights,” but they were a part of the order. They just spent their time scrubbing toilets and doing paperwork rather than banging queens and dismembering enemies of the state with laser swords.

      I would take any of those jobs over mine any day of the week. I get minor force powers but I gotta plunge a toilet and room and board is free? Yes please.

        Somewhere, there was some poor Force Sensitive who got just enough of a connection to the Force to get massive anxiety while in the Temple but not enough to leave his gardening job before Order 66.

      I feel that there is high potential for someone who is force sensitive besides combat

      Like force healers or a mechanic that can tell the internal structure of a machine and perhaps reattaching a wire without ever having to open it

      Stuff like that I thing would be so cool and I feel it’s highly underutilized
