”some force users can touch an object and sense the history in it” literally fucking insane. Do you have any idea what this would do to like. Eight scientific fields. Forensics. Archaeology. Military strategy. You have an instant - albeit finicky - replay button for anything from a crime scene to a 2000-year-old artifact used for “””fertility rituals””” what do you MEAN. How the fuck are they functioning in the temple when every stone has the souls of a thousand years of fellow Jedi imprinted on them. Nobody let them touch a mando, those armor sets are passed down parent to child and only barely reforged to fit. Thats the equivalent of 12d10 psychic damage straight to the prefrontal cortex. What does it feel like for them to touch a painting an artist did of their child? Would they be able to sense the love between photographer and their spouse by touching a photo they took? I wonder if that’s a whole other art form in and of itself in the temple, where artists have to spend the entire duration of the creation process meditating on one specific thing so that another Force user can pick up on the undertones in the force as they see/hear/watch/touch/taste it. “It was made with love” is an actual practical necessity in Jedi temple cooking, because otherwise the food can cause anything from a shit mood to an allergic reaction in the more sensitive younglings and padawans especially. Teenage padawans eating food from outside the temple for the first time on missions and developing a taste for “angry” food or “drunk” food (ie the cook was angry/drunk when they made it) the way some kids who grew up eating beans and rice get really into ghost peppers and shit when they get older.
