Say what you will about the pacing and stuff, but this show FINALLY gave me a complete force muggle who had no mystical legendary bloodline of famous force space wizards behind her, no cloned mega-space-emperor midichlorian legacy shenanigans that made her the super-special chosen one and she STILL got to use the force through sheer grit and training and determination! Sabine Wren is what the broom kid could have been.

No, you don't have to be the spawn of the force-elite with a meticulous pedigree and breeding to get all forcey, you can do it all on your own! Go get that coffee mug, you can do it!

By “a force bloodline” do you mean “literally just the Skywalkers”?

Also doesn’t take into account that Sabine is, as a member of clan Wren/house Viszla, likely related to Tarre Viszla, the first Jedi Mandalorian. More of a force bloodline than most force sensitives we’re aware of.

Hey, it's not like the Skywalkers are the only family with noteworthy force powers. There's also the Palpatines. And in the end, only the Palpatines...

I wonder how common "had a force-capable ancestor a thousand years ago" is in terms of family history. Given the interconnectedness of family trees, it sounds like it should be unavoidable in the long run.
