Varför valde Lucas ordet "Force"?

4

Kraften är mer än telekinetiska förmågor hos en Jedi eller Sith.

Finns det ett officiellt uttalande som säger vad motiverade Lucas att välja namnet "The Force" för den centrala ideen om kanonen?

Den här beskrivs i boken Star Warss hemliga historia , i en analys av utvecklingen av de olika utkastskript som leder till den sista som vi alla vet idag.

Den relevanta sektionen i kapitel 2, "Star Wars" heter "The Force of Others" och fortsätter med att säga:

It is interesting to note that the Force is not existent in this draft—the phrase “may the force of others be with you” is used, but it is merely a generic “good luck” phrase, and is used casually by various people in the script, as are expressions such as “thank god.” Most agree that it is a playoff of the Christian phrase “May God be with you,” intended as a sort of ambiguous science fiction version of a theistic colloquialism. When Lucas began writing the second draft he would transform the samurai-inspired Jedi-Bendu of the rough draft into characters based on E.E. Smith's Lensmen, making them super-powered warriors. In determining the source of their power, Lucas took his “force of others” reference and turned it into a supernatural power, coupled with a crystal called the Kiber crystal which acts in a similar manner to the Lensmen’s lenses, increasing one’s natural abilities.
