Rules say that droids and some other species (named in species description) can't be force sensitive. But try as I might I can't find it in core book. Probably just me so can anyone help.

Rich.

I don't have a copy of the core rules yet, but presumably it means that species added in later supplements might not be Force-sensitive, like droids are.

Are any species in SW lore not force sensitive (besides Vong)?

Well, King George himself said that the Vulptereen are too stupid to be Force-sensitive, which seems to go against everything we know about how the Force works, but hey, that's Star Wars for you sometimes.

EDIT: My bad, apparently they're "not smart enough to be Jedi," which isn't the same thing.

Also, the Rakata eventually lost their ability to be Force-sensitive after the Infinite Empire, so there's that.

IIRC, previous editions of the SWRPG did mention that as he is mostly cybernetic Vader could not use certain force powers.

The core rule book stats that droids cannot be force sensitive..but wasnt Grievous a droid?..or was he a cyborg..hmmm

We'll probably see species that can't be Force-Sensitive in later releases.

The big one in the EU are the Yuuzhan Vong, and at least for the d20 systems they were the only species aside from Droids that were outright forbidden from taking the Force-Sensitive feat.

There might be background fluff that "Force-users amongst Species X are incredibly uncommon," but I doubt we'll see very many organic species that are outright forbidden from being Force-Sensitive. And we never see official stats for the Vong, I'm perfectly okay with that.

Grievous was indeed a cyborg, not a droid, but he wasn't Force-sensitive; he just used lightsabers.

Cool. Just checking to see if my Wookiee can be

Yep, Wookiees can be Force-Sensitive.

In fact, there's been at least two Wookiee Jedi in the EU. Lowbacca from the Young Jedi Knight series, and Kirlocca, a Jedi Master that served as the resident battlemaster for the Almas Academy in the Cularin system (part of WotC's Living Force campaign for OCR/RCR Star Wars)

As Jedi mind powers don't work on The Hutt race I would also venture that they are not able to take Force Sensitive as well. Not, that that effectives PCs in the game.

Nope, there have been Hutt Jedi before in the setting, just not many.

And I think there have even been Toydarian Jedi, though again not very many.

it seems just about any species can be Force-Sensitive, and even become a Jedi with enough time, effort, and focus. But since in-universe becoming a Jedi is a lot of hard work, not every species is going to bother, particularly if they have their own homegrown Force traditions, like the Kel Dor or the Gand.

Yep, Wookiees can be Force-Sensitive.

Although apparently George put an end to any more Wookiee Jedi at some point, after some stuff in the NJO series or Dark Nest or something. Still, from what I can remember its just even more rare among Wookiees than other species.

And, apparently he reversed the decision later on. The Clone Wars cartoon featured a story arc with a number of Jedi younglings under the care of Ahsoka. One of them was a wookiee.

Ok, got to say thank you. I just did a web search for Hutt Jedi and found a pic of Beldorion dueling with Leia Solo, and it was the funniest thing I've seen in about a week . Man, I know GL is really open to writers expanding on his universe (really a great idea), but the concept of a Hutt Jedi should have been stopped at the door. Not in my games, that is for sure.

Not all Hutts are lethargic slugs. Hutts as a species are incredibly strong and passably fast. Getting lazy and fat is a sign of distinction--the fatter you are, the more power you have.

A Hutt who hasn't been caught up in the search for more money or who is sufficiently motivated could become a hell of a fighter. And if that Hutt is one of the rare Hutts who are Force-sensitive, then s/he would be just stupidly powerful.

That's true, I forgot about that episode. I stand corrected

Why not? Just because a Hutt is force sensitive and a jedi doesn't mean he has to be a spry Lightsaber user. Heck, his anatomy practically prohibits lightsaber use at all, but he can still contribute to the order in many other ways basides combat.

Actually, couldn't he learn to use the Move ability to make himself lighter? It wouldn't be a common use (i.e. not in the base tree), but it should be possible. After all, isn't that what Yoda was doing riding Luke around in the backpack?

Hutt's have some pretty awesome battle armor available to them that makes them far more mobile. Take a look here for the Star Wars wiki link.

Anyway Hutts are luminous beings too, not just crude matter. They can be Jedi even if they can't leap about like a Kowakian Monkey Lizard.

One of the biggest surprises my Saga edition crew ever got was when the Hutt they went in to assassinate turned out to be a Sith. When he pulled out his lightsaber, you could have heard a moth sneeze in our game room.

That's amazing. A Sith Hutt. I've never even fathomed such a thing before.
