The points made in this message are rather intriguing and lead me to a
slightly strange conclusion: Solo does have some mastery of the force,
but has obviously never had any training in it and doesn't seem to
have any deep mastery or understanding of what he does - he is an
'idiot savant' wielder of the force. I think he instinctively uses
parts of the force which are sensible enough to believe in - he is
incredibly 'lucky', but remember 'in my experience, there is no such
thing as luck', so luck is probably just an everyday manifestation of
the force, which some people happen to be blessed with an ability to
control (well, sort of...). What do others think of this slightly
off-the-wall conjecture?
