Unfortunately, in 25,793 BBY, several Tythan scholars began using their knowledge of the Force to pursue power, leading to the beginning of the Force Wars. In 36,453 BBY, philosophers and scientists from several Star systems gathered on Tython to share mystical knowledge. Sometimes this ability was described as having a strong Force "aura."
Force-sensitive beings were able to tap into the Force to perform acts of great skill and agility as well as control and shape the world around them. Though the Force was thought to flow through every living thing, its power could only be harnessed by beings described as " Force-sensitive." This Force-sensitivity was correlated with, and sometimes attributed to, a high count of internal microorganisms called midi-chlorians that were found in a Force-sensitive's blood: the higher the count, the greater the being's potential Force ability, though there were some exceptions to this rule.

The light side of the Force was the facet aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, while the dark side of the Force was aligned with hatred, fear, covetousness, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence. The first two aspects were concerned with the moral compass of the Force, as manifested by the conduct and emotions of living creatures who were themselves part of the fabric of the Force. Known as the Way in ancient times, the Force was viewed in many different aspects, including, but not limited to, the Light side of the Force, the Dark side of the Force, the Living Force, the Unifying Force, the Cosmic Force and the Physical Force. The Force, known to the Kwa as the Power of Cosmos and referred to as the Breath of Gelgelar by the Gelgelar resident Wise Man of Kooroo, was a metaphysical, spiritual, binding, and ubiquitous power that held enormous importance for both the Jedi and Sith monastic orders.
