And people talk about 'following the will of the Force" and "let the Force guide you" all the time, and a distinct directing guide is noted on several occasions. There's a mind behind it, whatever it is.


For my Banestorm, that's pretty well what all of the religions are tapping into, although each of their mystics appear to be talking to their specific deity if they have any divinatory ability.
