A Padawan?s Journal Entry #18 finds author Maya Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff delving into the complexities of Force sensitives. See below for her intro and click here for the full entry.


"I used to think that only Jedi were Force sensitive. I guess I thought of the Force as something with an ON/OFF switch. You were either a one or a zero?sensitive or not. Jedi/Sith or mundane. End of story.

When I began to immerse myself in the culture of Star Wars, I realized that there was a lot more to it than that. Since the Force is something elemental that flows through everything, it also flows through all sentients and a person?s potential for it, was measurable in midichlorians. This took the Force from the realm of magic into the realm of science."


Bohnhoff will continue with the Force theme in her next entry as she examines, "Challenges in writing when the Force is with you."


Holostar from Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff is headed to bookshelves in 2011.
