There are more questions from fans that he answers: What is the longest amount of time you've spent writing in one sitting while writing this series? What culture inspired the Horneaters? What’s your favorite and perhaps lesser known fantasy series? Since metal born siblings can end up with different powers, what about twins? What are the most surprising reactions from fans about the characters you've created? Out of all the characters created which one do you personify/relate the most with? How do you balance your already established series' with the new series you’re creating?

These concepts are mentioned throughout the Star Wars Saga, but unfortunately some are never fully explained. We do see how The Force is used by the Jedi and Sith throughout the Saga, things such as using the The Force to push things, pull things towards you, jump higher, run faster, use the Force to help someone relax or fall asleep, and to use the Force to mentally trick someone to do what you wish them to do. *Formerly known as "Arguments As To Why The Phantom Menace is a Great Star Wars Movie".
