Star Wars director George Lucas originally gave the Force a different name – one that is much deeper. When Obi-Wan Kenobi first explained the Force to Luke Skywalker, he called it "an energy field created by all living things" that exists everywhere and binds the entire galaxy together. The Force grants its users the abilities of telekinesis, telepathy, and even the power to trick minds. It also acts as a guide, helping direct a person's actions and path in life.
Every Jedi sees the Force in a different way. That has become particularly clear in Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The High Republic transmedia initiative, set centuries before Yoda's perception became dominant. Jedi Master Avar Kriss hears the Force as a song, the Wookiee Burryaga connects to the Force as though he is a single leaf on a gigantic tree, Bell Zettifar danced with fire and Loden Greatstorm with the wind. Because each person has a unique relationship with the Force, their relationship with it is unique and distinct. The Force's greatest nature is hinted in Lucas' original plans for it, particularly its name.
