Seth Dickinson is the author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant,
the forthcoming Exordia, and many short stories. Seth has also
written lore for Destiny and Godfall and designed the open-source
space opera Blue Planet. The use of the Force to interfere in the
secular universe is inevitably corrupting, so all light-side Force
users either become petty police or withdraw into Taoist meditation
in search of absolute truth. This leaves the use of the Force as a
political power to malevolent dark-side adepts, who can only be
resisted by their light-side counterparts. The attempt to find a
just yet enlightened resolution to this paradox is the heart of
Star Wars. Seth dreams of becoming a muscular yet small-brained
deepwater fish.
