The citizens of a thousand worlds coined a name for this curious phenomenon, the Force, and recognized the Jedi Knights as the presiding experts in its use.
While the Jedi learned more about this energy field that binds together time, space, and living beings, the Jedi Order grew and spread, carrying the word of the Force to the galaxy's far-flung planets and cultures. Although the Force has always existed, it was first identified and developed by the group of 'wizards and mystics' who eventually formed the Jedi Order. The history of the Jedi and Sith is closely tied to that of the Force. For help fixing the article, feel free to visit the Writing Center. Star Wars takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” Therefore, historical past tense is required by the Manual of Style. This article is not written in past tense.
