So, you’re going to posit that people with a different lifestyle are evil? That’s pretty fucked up.

As a member of this particular group I have no issue with different relationship arrangements in my fiction.
I just don't want it to be the driving force of a whole group because romantic relationships are my least favorite aspect in Star Wars, with some exceptions.
And hard.Fallen?
serenity now
Insanity later!
They needed Force Using "Antagonists" post 35 ABY after "The Rise of SkyWalker" ended.
With Palpatine Gone, his cult followers defeated/arrested/destroyed.
The First Order is gone.
Where are you going to find "That Many Force Users" to write stories about?
I needed a Mafia Family like setting spread amongst the stars.
With the entire Family being filled with Force Users.
And I needed to mass produce MANY Force Users for my setting.
My new "Rule of 2" would very well over a short period of time to mass produce "Force Users" in secret.
They wanted something to be upset about, I gave them what they wanted.
Even if 99.99999% of the family never do anything "Bad/Evil" by traditional definition other than live a different life style.
Which the vast majority of people won't care about.
But for the tiny amount of Force Users who do something "Bad/Evil", we have a proper setting for it as to how they came to be, and how they managed to have so much power, seemingly out of nowhere.
It's the setup to get "That many Force Users" to exist within the Star Wars Universe moving forward.
If the vast majority of your Story takes place in the Known Parts of space, like Coruscant?
The Unknown Regions still work as a source.
At least for my purposes as I write.
Okay.
I wanted the Known Universe to have "Countless Force Sensitives" hiding in secret in plain sight amongst the existing populace.
Especially given what we know about "The Empire" & Order 66.
Keeping your "Force Powers" hidden is a matter of survival & a secret Advantage in life.
Like a Heretics of Dune kind of thing?
I am fairly certain they have been cooking up all number of antagonists via the novels and comics as setup for the Rey films. One seems to be a groups that is dead set against the return of the Jedi, in any form. A groups like The Path of the Open Hand, for example, believe the Force should not be used. That using it abuses the Force, and that every action with the Force causes a reaction elsewhere in the Force. Such a group, embedded in the new Galactic Government, would stand in the way of Rey reforming the Jedi Order. Likely siting all the Jedi and Sith as the causes of all the wars the galaxy endured for much of the last century.
Go for it.
Kind of.
I imagine a power that is trying to find Mortis, worshipping it and seeking it as a kind of promised land for their followers. To that end, they search the Galaxy for all Force related artifacts and add any Force sensitive beings to their number.
But that very much reads like the Sith. Both Qimir and Sidious have done that.
Do we know there will be Rey films plural?
Let's be fair. We don't know there will be ONE Rey film.
I hope we get one with her being a badass Jedi, but I'm not holding my breath.
i really got way ahead of myself there...
That's the obvious "Surface Level Interpretation" that the average fan will get figuring out that is happening.
That's by design.
I plan on subverting it.
