Force users evolving into minor gods?

Would it be interesting if some of them could evolve into demigods with limited range? Let's say someone can be a God in one sector or they would get uberpowers and it would hundreds of Sith ot Jedi stop them...

Yeah, but you could pretty much take him out by yourself.

They're beginning to feel like a Force God (Force God).

Vitiate came close.

Personally I feel the setting is enough about force users as-is. Throwing gods in would further push stuff in that direction.

This sounds like a horrible idea. The more powerful the character, the more they are less relate-able. Imagine any Star Wars piece, from the movies to the novels. Replace someone with a 'god-like' character. Step back as the fun and anticipation shrinks away slowly.

I wouldn't say power necessarily leads to less fun, but it does mean there's only tense conflict with people of similar power, and there'd be almost none around in this scenario.


A lot of EU stuff *already* puts force users at high enough that it drains a fair amount of tension away.

I would like to see the power-scaling go down. I like the idea of Jedi/Sith not being able to solo platoons of soldiers and having trouble against crafty bounty hunters.

^ This. More power means things escalate, and then it gets goofy.

Indeed. It takes your Fetts, your Solos, heck, even your less-powerful force users out of the threat category.

IMO Solo was one of my favorite things about the OT. He was a space drifter, and a slight anti-hero.

Han, Lando, and Vader are the only reasons I watch the OT. I can't even remember the other guy's name, he just doesn't matter.

Only true for video-games that have no worthwhile story or characters. But enough about The Force Unleashed...

TFU is a Canon Stu wankfest, and I abhor it.

Ahem.

There are a lot of fictions with high power I like, but that's a lot different than ratcheting up the power of one class, or one character, within an existing one.

And one thing I look for in SW stories is a 'Solo' figure. KotoR comic has Gryph, Legacy 2 has Ania Solo (of course), Legacy 1 has Jariah Syn, etc..

I wonder if his story will be written out of canon with the new Rebels show. Since Starkiller created the Rebel Alliance in TFU, but that's ground the new animation is apparently going to cover now.
