If you take a pilot with force ability at has a way of using it on the card and you can add a force upgrade = 2 Force abilities.
Surely taking a non Force pilot and adding a Force ability crew should also allow an extra Force upgrade.
E.g. Fat Han with Luke should allow Sense or Heightened Perception allowing the expensive Luke upgrade to be used in an alternative way.
Kannan on a U-Wing etc is another example.
