There was an interview of him warning people about not delving into 'black magic'.
The interview said that christopher reads a lot and has heard that he has several books on the occult. Lee didn't elaborate much into that but says that people usually go into these sort of stuff for escapism, but that is a slippery slope. ["You'll not only lose your mind, but you'll lose your soul"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRVQD4FKPrY)
Edit: [Also, I just remembered. He talked about escapism here. It's an older interview of him going into more details about the occult. He certainly knows a lot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-ouQJD05yM)
Rasputin is like one of those guys who is obsessed with the Sith Lords and their dark mysteries. Seeking old temples and black magic to overthrow the Czar.
But the real Sith Lords are lurking in the shadows and manipulating important events in history.
February 2002, after threatening his family with a gun, Kim's father was shot to death in his attic by police.[5]
Woah, he would have been 17 at the time.
You'd think he was a raised in a well to-do family. He was not.
You would be shocked how messed up of a background some of the kindness and strongest willed people come from .
Its a sad thing in the world that trama or messed up childhoods sometimes makes the best people and spoiled childhoods often make the worse people.
If a hero was listed as having these accomplishments in a movie it would sound like complete horsesh*t. This guy is a real life hero. He must have an insane amount of willpower and determination to go with his obvious mental and physical prowess.
He just wasn’t as smart as Palpatine. Palpatine understood war much better and knew you win some you lose some. Hitler refused to negotiate from a position of weakness and his hubris got a million Germans killed in Russia.
Palpatine would never. His vision of the long game was so profound.
I mean not exactly, his takeover was pretty classic, and also legal (winning multiplr elections). As soon as he took power he cemented it but before that was a lot of political games in which he was seen as the weakest player. Big war was going great until it didnt lol. He had some succesful gambles in 1933-39 but then some disastrous mistakes in the war that Palpatine would never do. Also he never really controlled both sides in the war lol.
His charisma and anger and proper circumstamces (post-ww1) brought him to power and it just happened to be amazing army structure of Prussia that he inherited.
Palpatine had more of a sleazy, manipulative takeover of power.
By these standards Hitler is waaay more force sensitive than Palpatine who didnt make any major success based off his charisma. He was considered as a good solid grandpa-type person and a bit sleazy/not trustworty but his moves seemed to benefit the Republic... thats why nobody suspected him to be the Sith Lord.
If Hitler was in his position he would be attacked by the Jedi council as the OBVIOUS Sith Lord as soon as he stepped foot into the Senate lol
“That Palpatine would never do”.
The OT and Prequel version would definitely do those. It’s in the EU and Legends that he suddenly becomes a Machiavellian Force God.
>had some succesful gambles in 1933-39 but then some disastrous mistakes in the war that Palpatine would never do
Palpatine at the end of his reign had the imperial fleet over Endor, and didn't use them instead opting for the death star almost exclusively. The imperial fleet would have obliterated the rebels fleet, but in his arrogance didn't use it. He could have wiped out the rebellion's entire military might but wanted to taunt them with his big planet gun.
Also he invited the guy that blew up the first one onto the second one.
Yes, but these were parliamentary elections. The Nazis never received more than 1/3 of the vote. But the conservatives joined them to form a coalition government. That’s how the Nazis took power.
I'm convinced Hitler has an entire wing of time cops dedicated to his protection. WW2 was inevitable and with him gone far more effective leaders could have won the war for the Nazis before the US got involved, which would have been way way worse.
Naaa… I see where you’re coming from, but people seem to underestimate the involvement of the USA before they entered officially (bankrolling Russia) and how desperately hitler tried to find a path back to the negotiating table after he took France so scarily easy. After England refused, Spain stayed neutral and Italy turned out to be… not that efficient, Germany knew it would be very, very close to impossible to win this thing.
Idk 1-2 big wins vs England and it certainly could have forced England to negotiate. Without Germany losing so many men in Russia the way in the east could have dragged on for much much longer.
If The Force is the equivalent of God, he would basically be Anakin minus the whole war crime and dark side stuff.
Literally concieved by The Force/God on a virgin woman to carry on its will.
George Washington. During the revolutionary War he had like 4 horse shot from under him, and after battle, his coats would have bullet holes where they missed.
I always prefer "Get the F out of my house" by Han Solo himself

I think, if the caveat being that they could be latent and not knowingly force wielders, some candidates could be:
otto the great of germans (his combo of unbelieveable luck against magyar warriors and in the duke's rebellion and multiple close calls, also he had many apparent lucky strokes outside combat like in his government building strategy)
Adrian carton de wiart (was a soldier who survived boer war, ww1 and ww2, also survived many wounds, plane crashes and was even once shot in the head and yet lived until 83 yo)
Alexander the great
Leonardo daVinci
Mozart
I'm going to go with Jimmy Carter as a Jedi Master. All politics aside, he's done nothing but help people most of his life and he's as old as Yoda. He'll definitely disappear into the force when he passes.
I think that’s the wrong question to ask. The question shouldn’t be who would be Force sensitive? The question should be “which historical figures would be Jedi and which would be Sith?”
For my money, here’s a short list off the top of my head. And I make these without necessarily all of the Jedi being good or the Sith all evil. We are dealing with real people who actually existed and have complicated legacies.
Jedi:
-Aristotle
-Nelson Mandela
-Leonardo Da Vinci
-Bruce Lee
-Confucius
-Florence Nightingale
-Mother Theresa
Sith:
-Niccolo Machiavelli
-Julius Caesar
-Napoleon Bonaparte
-Vlad the Impaler
-Henry VIII
-Genghis Khan
-Mao Zedong
George Lucas stole the idea of the force from the near east
The Jedi are dressed like Sufi Mystic
Also, may the force be with you is just the English version of Salamalaykum
With Napoleon and Julius Caesar might be. Great generals, charisma, etc. The same can be said to Hannibal, Sargon, etc but why Yasuke? What part of his story makes him stand over the others to think that might have something else?
Napoleon is a good one. There’s a strong argument that I subscribe to which suggests that he’s the greatest military commander in the history of humanity. The man was so absurdly successful and leagues ahead of his counterparts that it almost seems magical.
Adolf Hitler. To this day, I struggle to believe how he convinced so many people without the use of mind control and judging by what I see on the Internet these days.....somehow he returned.
Assuming the force was real, id assume all of them.
Going by the original Star wars, where the force surrounds us (no Mitochondria bs), anyone in power would have had a significant connection to the force.
Sir Christopher Lee...wait a minute...
He's been looking forward to this.
Twice the force, double the power

I love that he answers five–word questions with entire essays.
I believe he had a large library on the occult. It makes sense, given the roles he played early in life.
That moment you realise they didn’t need special effects and he was holding back…
Houdini... (I meant : UTINIIIII !)
Angry upvote
Rasputin is definitely a sith lord
A Sith Lord?!
And the one we’ve been looking for.
Fair warning, anyone who correctly uses an interrobang gets put on my crush list.
Crush as in "smash", or "*smash*"? Which is it‽
Ok but aesthetically it looks better the other way around
‽ Perfect
I’ve heard he had a big lightsaber
Rasputin seems like the real life version of darth jar-jar
I don’t remember jar jar getting laid all the time by his cult
Well he nailed the princess/queen. Kinda like Rasputin.
Rasputin is like one of those guys who is obsessed with the Sith Lords and their dark mysteries. Seeking old temples and black magic to overthrow the Czar. But the real Sith Lords are lurking in the shadows and manipulating important events in history.
Same with Aleister Crowley.
Possibly the most correct take I’ve ever seen.
Nah, he's one of those sith-looking high EQ Jedi masters.
My mom, she’s able to hit anything or anybody she wants with her sandal while having her eyes closed.
She has midi-chanclians
😂😂😂
Your Mom: “I’m one with the Force, and the Force is with me”
*proceeds to throw the sandal at someone
This is a normal thing on brazil all of the moms know how tô do that kkkkk
Who’s that kid who was a navy seal, then an astronaut, then went to Harvard and became a doctor?
Jonathan yong kim?
It has to be him. Not a lot of doctor astronaut trained killers out there.
[Yes, that 40 year old big balls and big wrinkly brain having badass, Jonny Kim](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Kim)
February 2002, after threatening his family with a gun, Kim's father was shot to death in his attic by police.[5] Woah, he would have been 17 at the time. You'd think he was a raised in a well to-do family. He was not.

Damn, thought this would be the top answer. 2nd Mr. Rogers.

Fred Rogers
Even if he wasn't force sensitive, he'd still get a seat on the council just out of principle.
Hitler Guy managed to Palpatine his way to the top of Germany, his big war didn't quite go as planned though.
He just wasn’t as smart as Palpatine. Palpatine understood war much better and knew you win some you lose some. Hitler refused to negotiate from a position of weakness and his hubris got a million Germans killed in Russia. Palpatine would never. His vision of the long game was so profound.
You can say a lot, but hitler was pretty Intelligent. Which is why he was so dangerous. The empire was modelled after nazi germany.
I mean not exactly, his takeover was pretty classic, and also legal (winning multiplr elections). As soon as he took power he cemented it but before that was a lot of political games in which he was seen as the weakest player. Big war was going great until it didnt lol.

“That Palpatine would never do”. The OT and Prequel version would definitely do those. It’s in the EU and Legends that he suddenly becomes a Machiavellian Force God.
>his takeover was pretty classic, and also legal (winning multiplr elections). So this is how liberty died?
The force = tons of meth, coke, and opiates.

He could have wiped out the rebellion's entire military might but wanted to taunt them with his big planet gun. Also he invited the guy that blew up the first one onto the second one.
Well it could be said, that it was smart to have him outside of any Star fighter :)
He went from being an Austrian in jail to leading Germany in a few years. That’s not a classic rise to power.
Yeah more classic is Napoleon and Caesar. Military leader wins many great battles then performs a coup to 'save' the country and becomes a dictator.
Yes, but these were parliamentary elections. The Nazis never received more than 1/3 of the vote. But the conservatives joined them to form a coalition government. That’s how the Nazis took power.

Aleister Crowley was definitely some sort of Dark Side user.
I doubt it. Crowley was such a loser irl

If The Force is the equivalent of God, he would basically be Anakin minus the whole war crime and dark side stuff. Literally concieved by The Force/God on a virgin woman to carry on its will.
He healed people and even brought back loved ones from death. I wonder if it is possible to learn this power?
Not from a jedi
Well that sucks, bull I'll take your word at face value.
As a christian, I agree. Some saints might be force sensitive if they were in Star Wars
Keanu Reeves duh
The most Reddit response ever 😭
Wake the F*** up Jedi, we got a citadel to burn.

Used the force to stay alive while having gotten shot
George Lucas. The maker would have to be, right? 🙂
Can't believe this isn't higher lol
Historical figures : Joan of arc, Einstein, Current living people : Sigourney Weaver, Sebastian Vettel,

I dunno when they win they try spinning as that is a good trick.
Seb is the chosen one. But somehow, Horner returned.

I'm going to go with Jimmy Carter as a Jedi Master. All politics aside, he's done nothing but help people most of his life and he's as old as Yoda. He'll definitely disappear into the force when he passes.
There's probably some unattractive guys using the force to hook up with women.

Messi, Federer, Luka, and Jokic are definitely in the “see things before they happen” tier.
Stephen Hawking was Yoda
The force would be the Holy Spirit so all saints would be force sensitive.
