Briefly

The Force Does Not Exist in 'Star Wars'
"In 'Star Wars,' the Force is basically presented as a religion. Or, as Ben Kenobi puts it, 'It's an energy field created by all living things.'"
May the Fourth is celebrated as Star Wars Day due to the pun between 'fourth' and 'Force.' The concept of the Force is examined specifically in the context of the 1977 film 'Star Wars.' In this original movie, the Force is portrayed more as a religious belief rather than a fully developed supernatural power. The first clear demonstration of the Force's supernatural abilities occurs in 'The Empire Strikes Back,' which is outside the scope of the original film's narrative.
