Canon

The Force is divided into four aspects: the Light side, the Dark side, the Unifying Force, and the Living Force. The first two aspects are concerned with the moral compass of the Force in its various manifestations. The Light side of the Force was the facet aligned with good, benevolence, and healing, while the Dark side of the Force was the element aligned with fear, hatred, aggression, and malevolence.

The latter two aspects were defined by prominent Jedi philosophies. The Unifying Force essentially embraced space and time in its entirety. The Living Force dealt with the energy of living things. To some Jedi, "The Force was life, and life was the Force." Though the Force was categorized in this way, there were no specific abilities or powers that were only usable by a follower of a different path of the Force; the Force partially existed inside the life forms that used it, and drew energy from their emotions.

Some beings, especially the Sith, believe that the Dark side of the Force is more powerful than the Light. Others think of the Force as an entity capable of intelligent thought, almost as a sort of god.

Though the Force is described as flowing through every living thing, it can only be harnessed by a minority of beings described as "Force-sensitive". Force-sensitivity is attributed to a high count of internal micro-organisms called midi-chlorians that are found in a Force-sensitive's blood: the higher the count, the greater the being's potential Force ability. Force-sensitive beings are able to tap into the Force to perform acts of great skill and agility as well as control and shape the world around them.
