While the Force is known to many across the galaxy, there are also sects of followers who treat the mystical energy field as a religion, and the official site take a closer look at these followers who touch every corner of the cosmos.
Religions of the Force are dogmas that are devoted to the Force. The most common examples of Force religions are the Jedi and the Sith, where the Jedi follow the light side of the Force and the Sith follow the dark side. The two are antithetical, hence their long history of being enemies. It’s essential to understand, though, that just because someone is aligned to the light does not automatically mean they’re a Jedi, and just because someone is aligned to the dark does not automatically mean they’re a Sith. There is an abundance of other Force religions in the Star Wars galaxy, both for Force users and non-Force users, and some are even irreligious.
