About this list

The Star Wars universe is filled with Force-sensitive characters. Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and other light-side Jedi are well-known. So are dark-side Sith like Sidious and Plagueis. Then there are those who walk the line, like Anakin Skywalker and Ben Solo. But what about characters who are Force-sensitive without being Jedi or Sith? Groups like the Dagoyan Order and the Nightsisters, and characters like Chirrut Îmwe, Maz Kanata, Chava the Wise, and Temiri Blagg, are just as intriguing. Let's explore the Star Wars characters who are sensitive to the Force without being tied to the Jedi or Sith.

    Queen Julia And The Dagoyan Order

    If the Force is the religion of the Star Wars galaxy,Star Warsthink of the galaxy, think of theDagoyan OrderThe Dagoyan Order acts as the monks of the Force. People often view the Jedi as warrior monks. Instead, the Dagoyans seek a personal connection to the Force through meditation and total nonviolence. This Order aims not to bring the Force to the physical world but to access its spiritual side. They are monks.

    JuliaJulia, queen of Bardotta, belongs to the Dagoyan Order. Julia and the rest of the Order star in the sixth season ofStar Wars: The Clone WarsDuring the two-part episode, “The Disappeared,” the queen calls Jar Jar Binks to help during a time of need. Why did she not call the Jedi? The Bardottans did not get along with the Jedi then, after they started bringing Force-sensitive Bardottans into the Jedi Order. That is politics.

    Finn

    Trigger warning: Now we talk about the DisneyStar Warstrilogy now. Some of you really don't like these movies, and that is fine! Like what you like. Let us keep things civil, okay? John Boyega, the star ofreallydoesn't like these movies, and that is fine! Like what you like. Let us keep things civil, yeah? John Boyega, star ofAttack the BlockandDetroitportraysFinn (or FN-2187, if you are mean) in the sequel trilogy. The First Order trained Finn from a young age to become a stormtrooper in their growing army. This is not the kind of childhood parents usually picture.

    If Finn had stayed a stormtrooper, he would likely be dead; we would not be discussing him now. Instead, Finn rebelled against the First Order inThe Force Awakensand met Rey as friends through screenwriting chance. Finn never trained with a Jedi or Sith, but he is Force-sensitive. He sensed Kylo Ren's presence once and felt Rey's death through the Force.

    Merrin

    Where are all theStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderfans at? The 2019 Respawn Entertainment game has many admirers, and for good reason. It is a solid game.a very solid gameJetsetting through the galaxy with Cal Kestis, Cere Junda, Greez Dritus, and the cute BD-1 is great.Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderalso showed usMerrin, a Dathomirian Nightsister who befriends Kestis on his journey.

    Merrin, though not a Jedi or Sith, has a large Nightsister power set. She teleports, throws energy blasts, and can raise dead Nightsisters. That is serious power.Throughout Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, she also shows ground manipulation and sensor-cloaking. Merrin does whatever Respawn Entertainment needs her to do. She rules.

    Maz Kanata

    Maz KanataMaz Kanata is one of the most interesting characters introduced in the Disney era.Star WarsShe is portrayed by Lupita Nyong'o, who plays the eternally underrated alien. The 4-foot-tall character is over a thousand years old by the time of The Force Awakens.The Force AwakensShe comes around in the Star Wars timeline.Star WarsKanata has existed through everything. She survived the High Republic, the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire, and the New Republic. Kanata stays in the background, always doing her thing. She is one of a kind.

    Maz Kanata is Force-sensitive. Centuries of galactic upheaval do not happen by accident. Kanata used her gift to sense changes before they occurred, making her a 'pirate queen.' If you skip a Maz Kanata-focused Disney+ series set before the films, you should watch one now. She senses people nearby; she knew Han Solo arrived at her Takodana cantina in The Force.The Force Awakens.

    Chirrut Îmwe

    Who is the best character fromRogue One: A Star Wars StoryDonnie Yen'sChirrut Îmwe, and it is not close. Diego Luna's Cassian Andor might get a Disney+ series. Alan Tudyk's K-2SO may become the fan favorite. Riz Ahmed's Bodhi Rook might be the dark-horse pick, but it has to be Îmwe. How many blindStar WarsSome Star Wars characters whip multiple stormtroopers at once. Stormtroopers are useless fodder for heroes, but they still are!

    The Ip Man played Chirrut Îmwe. Îmwe claims many times, “I'm one with the Force, and the Force is with me.” Who are we to argue? Îmwe joined the Guardians of the Whills.Guardians of the Whills, a group of warrior monks whose only goal was protecting the Temple of the Kyber on Jedha. Why need Jedi training when you use simple meditation and a wooden staff to beat enemies?

    Chava

    Seen in a few episodes ofStar Wars Rebels, Chava the WiseChava was a Lasat who revered the Force above all. Calling it “the Force” is too boring for Chava. She called the Force “Ashla,” which sounds cooler but is less descriptive.

    Chava always carried her Ashla Staff, which could affect parts of the Force. Seeing Chava, a small, old woman, was a pacifist. You do not need violence when the main character of Star Wars Rebels handles all the fighting for you!Star Wars RebelsChava found a narrative loophole there. Chava makes the main character of Star Wars Rebels do all the fighting for you!

    Temiri Blagg

    Will we get the Rian Johnson-directed Star Wars trilogy announced in 2017?Star WarsThe trilogy announced in 2017, following fan outcry after the release ofThe Last Jediand therecent “on hold” updateThis mysterious trilogy? Probably not. Lucasfilm acts like this now. They fly by the seat of their pants.Temiri Blagg.

    One core tenant ofThe Last Jedi(that was corrected byThe Rise of Skywalker) held that the Force was strong in anyone. Lineage did not matter. Rey's parents were not important, yet she was super-powerful. This was the old idea, before Palpatine showed up. A young stable boy, Temiri Blagg, helped Finn and Tico during the Canto Bight sequence. The end of that showed Temiri Blagg could use telekinesis.The Last Jedi. Anyone could become a great hero! Temiri Blagg could too. But the "Skywalker Saga" centers on bloodlines. That is the reality.

    Talzin (And The Nightsisters)

    Best known for being the mother of Darth Maul,Best known as the mother of Darth Maul,Talzinhas appeared in manyStar WarsDarth Maul: Son of DathmoirDarth Maul: Son of Dathmoircomic book to episodes ofStar Wars: The Clone Wars. Talzin was the Clan Mother of the Nightsisters. Since all Nightsisters are Force-sensitive witches who change the world, Talzin was also Force-sensitive.

    Most characters in Star Wars act differently.Star Wars, Talzin focused only on herself. Characters like Han Solo and Lando Calrissian claim to look out for number one before joining the good guys. Talzin did not act like that. Talzin and the Nightsisters found themselves on opposite sides of battles against both theSith and Jedithroughout their appearances.
