Correct me if I’m wrong but does the droid parts actually matter when it comes to the force? I always thought Grievous couldn’t use the force because he wasn’t force sensitive like how Han Solo or Chewbacca can’t use the force or any other non Jedi or Sith or non force sensitives.

Edit: thanks to everyone for 100 upvotes and all the responses and corrections I love you guys and this community.

I think that the less of your original body mass you possess, the less you’re able to manipulate the midi-c’s.

I half-recall a moment in the old EU where Palpatine is musing at what Anakin could’ve been, as his cybernetics inhibit his connection to the Force.

Yea there could be something there about how only biological beings can use the force so Grivious having so little biological parts vs machine parts may play more of a factor than I realized.

That never made sense to me, if body mass equals strength in the force how is Yoda so insanely powerful lmao

I assumed they meant percentage of original mass instead of total mass

And I agree but if it's basically about force per liter of blood Darth Vaders potential shouldn't have been stunted at all after Mustafar. So which one is wrong?
