14. Lack of Internal Consistency with "The Force"

The Force has shifted in definition across the Star Wars franchise. In the original trilogy, it was mystical and spiritual. The prequels added a biological element with midi-chlorians, which clashed with earlier portrayals. The sequels introduced Force abilities like healing with little explanation. This inconsistency confuses audiences and weakens the Force’s significance. A clear and consistent approach to how the Force works could have strengthened the saga’s mythology. Instead, it feels like a convenient plot device rather than a well-defined system of power.
