First off: Keep this in-universe, please...
Second off: This is different from the "What would SW be without the Jedi" topic, since this is more of a "would it be better" thing as well as being more in-universe. No offense to anyone in the other topic, of course.
As we look at SW we notice that its plotlines are dominated by war. Out-of-universe we know that this is to make people want to watch/buy/read it, but in-universe we notice a startlingly different reason.
All, or at least most, wars are caused, in some way, by the Force.
It can be the Force itself manipulating people, or people using the Force to prolong wars, or people fighting because they have different views on the Force (e.g. Jedi fighting Sith). Every war seems to have the Force involved in it, and through this we can draw the conclusion that since wars make the Galaxy a worse place, the Force makes the Galaxy a worse place by being the cause of these wars.
So I pose the question: Was Kreia right?
For those of you that don't know, Kreia (aka Darth Traya) wanted to destroy the Force itself. I can't remember why, but she did. But now ask yourself: was Kreia right? Would the Galaxy be a better place without the Force? No Jedi fighting Sith, no Sith slaughtering scores of people through the Force, no Jedi lording their abilities over normal people? No Dark Side corrupting and killing, but no Light Side sitting around and waiting to be used either? Without the Force, the Jedi, and the Sith, would the Galaxy not be a much better, more equal, and above all, more peaceful place for people of all species to live their lives in? No killing, no mystic abilities, less wars, and above all, no automatic elevation of some people over others just because they are Force-Sensitive?
True, Obi-Wan said it held the Galaxy together, but we've found that he was saying that in a figurative sense. We've also found out that the Yuuzhan Vong, who, in a weird way, have no Force, also, although in their own twisted ways, can survive perfectly well without the Force.
So I pose the question once more: was Kreia right? Would the Galaxy be better for all without the Force?
Think deeply, then post your answers.
