Was there anyone who was force "immune"? - lemm.ee

Basically what the title says. There’s always discussions about someone being force sensitive and how they could use the force or not sensitive to it at all, but has anyone ever been completely immune to it? Like if Vader was doing a force choke and the person was just like “why are you holding your hand up like that? What are you trying to do?”

i vaguely remember that (in legends) there where some creatures on dagobah that created a kind of force void.

i think those where weaponized as anti force backpacks or something.

edit: their called Ysalamir and i was wrong about them steming from dagobah

They are a major plot point in the Thrawn books. They act as Thrawn’s ace in the hole to try and defeat Luke, and they are a precaution for the insane Jeedi master he has recruited.

Thawn used those in the books against Luke. They were pretty effective.

Sounds like you’re thinking of the ysalamiri.

Additionally, also only in Legends canon, there are also the Yuuzhan Vong, a species from outside the Galaxy that was entirely unconnected to the Force. They could not be sensed through the Force and were immune to most Force abilities that directly targeted them, though they could be affected by some abilities, i.e. telekinetically thrown objects or Force Lightning.

Ysalamir

Ysalamiri were lizard-like tree-dwellers about 50 centimeters in length native to the planet Myrkr, most known for their ability to repel the Force by creating a Force-neutral bubble. This ability evolved in response to predation by the Force-sensitive vornskrs. Many ysalamiri grouped together would expand their Force-neutral bubble by varying distances—sometimes by kilometers. Jaina Solo, complaining about the ysalamir's ability to repel the Force Adult ysalamiri grew up to 50 centimeters and h

I’d like to see someone be immune to telekentically manipulated objects…. Rock bounces off someone “sorry, you used the force to do that”.

Nobody mentions how dense the atmospheric air pressure on Tatooine must have been for those tiny wings on him to be enough to give him flight. The speed of Luke’s T-16 must have been fairly slow so it wouldn’t have burst into flames from just friction with that dense air.

Why are you making assumptions about the density of the alien in question?

For all you know his body it’s mostly made up of hydrogen gas sacks

For all you know his body is mostly made up of hydrogen gas sacks.

At least using Earth’s atmosphere and gravity numbers, his body isn’t big enough even if 100% of the volume was hydrogen and all his skin and bones were paper thin, that still wouldn’t be enough lift. He wears a leather harness and small satchel among other things.

Also I can’t remember a specific scene but I’m sure he picks up objects at some point, at which he’s have to provide lift from not only his body but the weight of the item being carried.

It’s space fantasy, not hard science fiction.

I know, I’m not upset or anything. OPs question asking about any “force immune” species is a question testing the limits of the fantasy universe. I’m doing the same here for fun discussion.

I don’t know about individuals but some species were immune to at least parts of the force. Watto was immune to mind tricks in TPM and said his entire species was as well.

Everybody talks about Legends canon but in the main canon Toydarians are not force immune but force resistant. There’s the line in ep 1 where Qui Gon is trying to convince Watto to take credits and Watto is all like “get the fuck outta here with that bullshit, it doesn’t work on us”.

I always thought that was playing on the “mind tricks only work on the weak-minded” thing. And thats why he was having none of Qui-Gon’s nonsense
Show threadPhil_in_hereSep 27, 2023
I think Watto saying “I’m a Toydarian! Mind tricks don’t work on me!” like that is a cultural pride thing, not a physiological thing.

Jabba resists Jedi mind tricks, too, doesn't he? Idk if that's just being strong-minded or a biological condition for Hutts.

The Yuuzhan Vong aren’t completely immune to force attacks but they are “outside” the force and can’t be sensed by force users

There was a multiplayer mode in Jedi Knight II, Capture the Isalamiri. Like capture the flag, but when you captured it you couldn’t use any of your Force abilities.
Fuck I loved those games.
