I've been deep in a rewatch of the entire Star Wars saga, and I'm fascinated by the fan theory that suggests the Force itself is a sentient, almost parasitic entity that manipulates events to maintain balance by creating perpetual conflict between the light and dark sides. This would explain the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of Jedi and Sith. For fellow lore enthusiasts, what are the most compelling Star Wars fan theories you've encountered that recontextualize the entire narrative? I'm particularly interested in theories that draw from the old Expanded Universe or newer canon materials to explain anomalies like the Force dyad or the origins of the Sith. What evidence from the films, shows, or books supports or debunks the idea that the Force has its own will beyond the users who channel it?
