Leebo and guri are as well and they have focus actions, heck guri is the most focused pilot in the game at range one

Yeah, I know, so does chopper. I guess it's an old decipher game mantra where droids had no ability. Since focus was sort of like the force (Use the focus Luke) but due to mechanics it is well very general. There really is no force in X-wing which is odd for a Star Wars game.

Well, the force users have abilities that reflect it, Ashoka uses the force to pass someone an action at the last minute, Kanan uses the force to weaken enemy shots or calm down his friends, Ezra and keyan both embrace the dark side for their abilities, Luke uses the force to evade, Vader uses the power of the dark side to get a free PTL, palp uses battle meditation, etc.

Yeah, you can "force" the theme into the mechanics and just say it is the pilot abilities and upgrades, but it is not exactly like there is a literal force mechanic or rule as there are many upgrades that can do either the same or similar without the yoda fluff. Speaking of which, is atani mindlink a fore attuned EPT?

From what I've heard people discuss on the forums, it has something to do with manaroo's species
