Star Wars‘ New Force powers are so incredible, they would completely break canon if they were brought into the main timeline. Let’s face it, no one can make mistakes Game Star Wars LEGO Stories like canon. For all that is the case, however, most of them have a loose connection to canon; They have familiar locations, or force powers that are well established.
All that has changed in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxywho introduced some powers that are completely unequaled. Jedi Builders and Sith Breakers possess the ability to manipulate the bricks of a LEGO-based world, shuffling them into any shape they want. Some uses of the power are familiar – Darth Dev tosses bricks in what is clearly telekinesis – but other uses are truly spectacular, with Jedi Bob redesigning a vehicle on the fly. That raises a fun question; What would the Force powers look like in canon?
Jedi Builders and Sith Breakers set up incredibly powerful Force abilities
We’re moving into the kind of powers you see in the MCU
The only way to visualize this is as some sort of reality manipulation. To get a sense of what this would look like, it’s best to go to the MCU, or to the comics that inspired the movies and shows. in WandaVisionScarlet Witch demonstrates the ability to rewrite reality itself when she traps the town of Westview in a sitcom reality. This was described as chaos magic, the raw stuff of creation itself, and the idea was drawn from the comics – where Wanda could do even greater feats. in House of MShe rewrote the entire story at will.
There were many powerful Jedi and Sith in there Star WarsBut no one has ever demonstrated the ability to affect reality at this kind of fundamental level. Now, to be fair, even the Jedi Builders and Sith Breakers of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy do not possess the power of Scarlet Witch in the comics; Their powers are clearly smaller-scale, limited only to their immediate area and not global or galactic in scale. The property belongs to the Cornerstone itself. But it’s chilling to imagine what a Sith like Palpatine would do with this power.
Only the chosen can possess the Force powers in canon
Anakin Skywalker is a living vergence in the Force
Just one Star Wars character could conceivably possess this kind of power in Star Wars; Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one himself. Last Star Wars TV shows have focused on the idea of ​​vergences in the Force, but Anakin is unique in that he is a living vergence, born of the will of the Force to restore cosmic balance. There is a sense of sheer weight to Anakin that is lacking in all the other characters, and It would make sense for him to be able to shape the reality around him.

What if Anakin did possess a power of reality manipulation, making him either a Sith Breaker or a Jedi Builder? Oddly enough, the idea actually works, because reality tends to shape itself around Anakin’s wishes and fears. He becomes a Jedi, as he always hoped, but his fear of loss means he loses his mother and later his beloved Padmé. Seen through this lens, the story of the Chosen One is even more tragic because Anakin created his own tragedy because of his fears.
This whole idea will obviously never happen in canon; Reality manipulation is simply too great a power for Star WarsBecause it would raise too many thorny questions. This power is better left on in the brick world of LEGO Star Wars. Still, it’s fun to speculate what such a Force power would mean for the galaxy if the franchise decides to do so.
