Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Force is a special energy field that exists in the Star Wars universe. It connects all living things and gives certain people amazing powers. Both the Jedi and the Sith can use the Force.

People who use the Force can do many incredible things. They can lift objects without touching them, move things with their minds, and even sense what others are feeling. Some can also shoot lightning from their hands or influence minds.

Understanding the Force

The Force has two main sides: the light side and the dark side. These sides represent good and evil, and they are used by different groups of people.

The Light Side of the Force

The light side of the Force is all about peace, knowledge, and helping others. It is used for good things like healing and protecting people.

The people who study and use the light side of the Force are called the Jedi. They are like guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. Jedi learn to control their emotions and use the Force wisely.

The Dark Side of the Force

The dark side of the Force is used by the Sith, who are the main villains in the Star Wars stories. This side of the Force is fueled by strong negative feelings like anger, fear, hate, and aggression.

The dark side can give its users powerful abilities that the Jedi do not use. For example, Darth Sidious can shoot powerful Force lightning from his fingertips. The dark side might seem stronger at times because its users do not hold back their emotions or powers. They use all their feelings to gain strength.

Famous Sith Lords

Many powerful characters have used the dark side of the Force. Here are some well-known Sith Lords:
