46m | May 2, 2026

Aaron and Matt break down one of Star Wars' most iconic elements — the Force — starting with a full rundown of every Force power from the original trilogy (Episodes 4–6), then diving into what The Last Jedi added, changed, and controversially expanded.

Topics covered:

  • All 15 Force powers from the original trilogy (force choke, Jedi mind trick, force lightning, force ghost, and more)
  • New powers introduced in The Last Jedi — force projection, force connection, elemental control, and Leia's survival moment
  • The shift from force-as-discipline to force-as-balance and tension between light and dark
  • Rey's dark side cave experience vs. Luke's — what does it mean?
  • Can the Force kill you? The Last Jedi's most debated new idea
  • Luke, Yoda, Snoke, and the yin-yang nature of the Force
