Enjoy your ‘research’ friend heheheh 👀✨✨✨✨
Hey everyone I am incredibly stoned and having a lot of feelings about our like fourth and most explicit canon confirmation that time is non-linear as far the Force is concerned in the Star Wars universe, and what this may actually mean for those who can sense it
Especially when it comes to how Force-sensitives experience memory (premonition as memory of possible future events) and experience their relationships to others (how much can you sense your future feelings about a person before you develop them?) and ESPECIALLY when it comes to attachment and what that implies/means if/when you are able to experience emotion in a non-linear manner.
I mean how many times when we see Force-sensitives fall in love they do it instantly hard and fast, bringing an intensity to the table their non-Force-sensitive partner often does not understand? When that pattern does not manifest, how often in its place do we see the Force-sensitive couching their feelings in terms of restraint or denial, hinting they feel an intensity that has to be held back?
What does it mean if through the Force you can sense the all encompassing love you will one day have for a person you may have only just met, or not met yet at all?
Or to use a truly and fully non-romantic example - when Leia tells Luke she always knew he was her brother somehow, could that have not been her sensing a biological bond, but rather her future relationship with him bleeding through into their past? Much as Padmé - who Leia never knew at all - could bleed through from her past in the form of visions/memories so Leia knew she was kind and beautiful and sad?
THIS IS SUCH A MIND BLOWINGLY FASCINATING THING TO THINK ABOUT.
That time is non-linear in the Star Wars universe, that Force-sensitives are tapping into this thing that is non-linear, which means they can be tapping into everything at once, all across the span of their lives (or possibly greater) and how that affects their (basically psychic) abilities.
How it affects these things that they just “always knew”, how Leia just always felt that connection to Luke, that it’s a little bit some part of her knowing what’s coming (and this puts Force users’ ability to know the future/past into a whole new light, that it’s the Cosmic Force’s non-linear nature brushing up against them) but also that she’s feeling her future feelings and her past feelings.
How it affects someone like Anakin Skywalker, who is already so overloaded with feelings and doesn’t want to do anything less than wholly embrace them–he’s piled on with all of his feelings for Padme over the entire course of his life, that he loves her instantly because he loves her in the future and all of that is jammed into him at once the first time he actually sees her?
What does this mean for Luke, who would be feeling all those terrible things Ben will do, but hasn’t done yet, but he still feels them and they’re still true? What does this mean for all those potential futures that Force-sensitives get a glimpse of, that Force Spirits can see and know would have been true?
I really love how massive and eldritch this makes the Force, how unknowable it can make the Force, because no mortal mind could really understand it, how this explores something new about the Force and yet seems to fit so well with everything else. Emotions in a non-linear manner, no wonder they’re always having to brace themselves, if you’re not only bombarded by what you feel in the moment, but occasionally the entire span of your life, the more you let those feelings run awhile, the more you’re hit with a mac truck of sheer emotions.
So, then, this is why no one on the Jedi Council trusts Anakin? They see what he is now, but something they can’t define shows them the monster he’ll become, but you can’t condemn a kid for things he hasn’t done.
And because they feel this dread, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and he commits the atrocities they were afraid of to begin with.

1. Ashanna is the archaeologist. She gets called in for investigation when during building for a new stadium for the city’s star sports team (The Chargers) they discover something odd.
2. She expects the usual odd dwarven artifact, maybe some dragon bones if things get really exciting. She doesn’t expect to find an honest to gods untouched temple of Fen’Harel. This literally changes everything they know of the ancient elves and their worship practices; it was never thought that they built temples or treated him as the same as the other Creators.
3. Before she can even begin any sort of excavation she’s caught up in legal battles with a private company that owns the land the temple is built under. The lawyer, Solas is quite irritating and adamant that she and her assistants are not allowed inside the temple under any circumstances until the matter is resolved.
4. The lawyer may be weirdly attractive but that doesn’t stop her and her assistant Cole sneaking into the temple during the night. The veil is so thin the deeper they go into the temple she starts to worry. There’s so many paintings of eyes it’s super creepy.
5. In the center of the temple is a single, shining orb

- The Liberal gov’t changed the Canada Child Benefit so that it’s actually helping people who NEED THE FUCKING HELP. (I am sorry if you are a six figure income you do not actually fucking need this make some fucking lifestyle adjustments for fuck’s sake.)
- Highway of Tears is finally getting some regular fucking bus service.

… . and this is just what I came up with in a pretty lazy google search in an hour, including distractions where I went down the research rabbit-hole for a bit because holy crap some of that stuff’s NEAT, guys!
And I know I’m missing stuff, because I wanted a citation for every single thing I put on there.
Yes, there have been some really bad things that have happened in 2016. There have also been a number of huge fucking miracles, and SIMILAR bad things have always happened, just about every damn year - maybe not to you, or maybe they didn’t make the news, and maybe you just don’t remember any of the good because of that whole massive Negative Bias problem that human brains have, but?
A lot of good shit happened. A lot.
And like I do actually get the sudden overwhelmed feeling of EVERYTHING SUCKS? but that mindset is, at this point, literally our worst enemy. “Everything is terrible somebody do something” helplessness is what will in fact consign us to everything BEING terrible.
Everything is not terrible. In fact there are new ways, every single month, wherein new opportunities and miracles are happening and no that does not balance out the bad shit but it gives every reason to FIGHT the bad shit, and to get past the bad shit, and to make sure the bad shit ISN’T the overwhelming stain.
So.
I want EVERY single one of my followers to read this. PLEASE I know a lot of bad things happened this year and it’s ok to be upset but all of this pessimism is only making things worse
More good things:
- Giant pandas are no longer endangered.
- Solar plane makes complete trip around the world without a drop of fuel.
- Mother to child HIV transmission has been reduced to zero in Cuba as of 2015.
- Ice Bucket Challenge directly contributes to gene discovery for ALS research.
- Volunteers in India smash a world record planting 50 million trees in one day.
- A hairdresser in New York offers free haircuts for the homeless, sparking the movement #DoSomethingForNothing.
- A permanent cure for sickle cell anemia has been found.
