Non-Jedi Force Users - Finn Following Dagoyan Practices?
for @finnappreciation Finn Meta/Theory Week. Day 2: Force-Sensitive Finn
The Star Wars universe is filled with people who actively use the force but are not Jedi, from sentient trees to groups like the Mandalorian Knights.
But the one non-Jedi Force User group that intrigues me in relation to Finn is the Dagoyan Order of Bardotta. They were unique in that they were very strong in the Force, but they never really used it to make a physical impact on the world, so no Force lightning, no Force running, no mind tricks. They study the Force for personal enlightenment and to make a “unique personal connection with the Force.” A bunch of their strongest Force users are artists and sculptors. Their study of the Force was a lifetime undertaking, and meditation was their main way of interacting with the Force.
I think that Finn has a type of Force sensitivity that is focused more inward than Rey’s abilities. I think he’d be someone who would use his Force powers intuitively. He’d make a great diplomat, but not by imposing his will but by being able to use the Force for balance and harmony.
I know that he heard those screams on Hosnian Prime. I know that it was Finn that awakened the Force in TFA. But I think that they will go in a different, almost mystical direction with him, rather than making him a Jedi alongside Rey.
