Can only certain species use the force?

I know that jedi and sith can be of many different species, but some you never see. For example, why no Wookie Jedi? They are a sentient species, so why not? BTW, Wookie+lightsaber=Awsome!!

One large example of this is the battle of Geonosis. A large majority of the jedi there were either human or human-like (Luminara, Ki-Adi-Mundi)

Definitely they were all humanoid species, I have only seen ~2 jedi that weren't humanoid.

There actually WAS a Wookiee Jedi, Master Tyvokka. He was on the Jedi Council shortly before the events of TPM, but was killed during a mission by pirates.

And then Chewbacca's cousin, Lowbacca, was trained as a Jedi during the rise of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order. Dunno much about him, though.

LOL that looks SO funny.

Rex changed his avatar!

Wookies are humanoid/humanlike in a way.

Thanks, i have never heard of Tyvokka.

Wasn't there an insane jedi that Starkiller killed that had 4 arms and a staff-saber?

I found a picture:
Sorry not 4 arms, but mechanical arms.

George has claimed there can be no more Wookie jedi. Also I read somewhere Ewoks and Vulpterens can't become jedi, becasue they don't have the mental apptitiude.

As for the most pathetic jedi is a the hutt jedi Beldorion.

BTW, wookie and lightsaber did = awesome
🙂

There was a Hutt Jedi. Or Dark Jedi.

Ares already said that.

Yeah like I read the entire thread.

it was the second-to-last post

Eh, don't bother...

The Aleena Jedi seen there is from The Force Unleashed; he has a pack on his back that allows him to use mechanical legs for mobility. There was also Master Choi from the earlier comics.

I can't imagine Geonosians being force sensitive?

Its probably possible... but i don't know.

they seem too reliant on hierachy. they seem to have a structure similar to ants...

I couldn't find anything about it online.

You're probably right, they are too hive-minded.

On one of the roleplaying threads i found a guy whose character is a geonosian jedi named Xeth. Ush didn't have any problem with it, but i dont know...
