I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows

leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.

The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”

Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”

Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.

“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Because girl.

“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”

“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…”
“He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

this post is golden

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive 

Who TF thinks Leia isn’t force-sensitive???!?!?!??!?! It’s literally right there, in the original trilogy. She has just as much Force as Luke. I don’t necessarily think she needs to develop it, really, because she is just as badass as a General/politician, but she certainly has it.

I think she has developed it. Just not by following the path of the Jedi.

One of the things I think Star Wars should explore goes back to “Bring balance to the Force.” As much as the prequels sucked, what they did give us was the Jedi being messed up.

The Jedi having degenerated into this dogmatic, insular mess of repressing emotions at all cost.

They misunderstood the prophecy. Anakin did bring balance to the Force - by destroying the Jedi. Oops.

One of the things we see in the new movie is the character of Maz Kanata.

She is clearly Force sensitive. She is clearly not a Jedi.

Leia - strong in the Force, not a Jedi. Because she knows she can do more good for the Light as a general and politician - that’s where her skills are.

Rey is going to be a Jedi. She’s probably going to be the one who works out how to bring them back without it happening all over again.

But what is Finn going to be? There’s pretty solid evidence that Finn is Force sensitive.

Will he be a Jedi or something else?

Will we finally see that there are many ways to use the Force.

“That’s not how the Force works.”

Isn’t it?

Anakin joined both orders, Jedi and Sith, to learn how to protect what he loves, and then he burned both orders to the ground when they wouldn’t let him love.

The Jedi rejected love as being insufficiently selfless; the Sith rejected love as being insufficiently selfish. Anakin brought balance to the Force in two steps, tearing the dogma of each to the ground around him, for love.

The balance point of the Force is love.

Luke uses it, guided by love, to be a warrior, knight, and teacher.

Leia uses it, guided by love, to be a stateswoman, general, and visionary.

Rey and Finn will use it, guided by love, to be whatever they want to be.

The imbalance was everyone, Jedi and Sith alike, who sought out children, took them from their lives, and told them, because you have this power, this is the life you must lead.” Balance means keeping you life and keeping your loved ones, and letting your heart show you the proper path.

Also LEIA IS FORCE SENSITIVE AS FRICK.

People who aren’t force sensitive can wield lightsabers.

Greivous stole those lightsabers.

Han was borrowing Luke’s saber to use it as a basic tool in an emergency survival situation.

And Finn didn’t keep that lightsaber, he only had it a short time before it got passed on to Rey.
