The phrase was first used inStar Warswhen Qui-Gon Jinn described his discovery of Anakin Skywalker inThe Phantom Menace.

Their full potential together has yet to be explored.
Theyve been separated too long.
Its like when youre doing an experiment and its the first round of it.
They are maybe not the first, but one of the first experiments of this particular use of power.
So the twins are weaker than Anakin, for sure.
They are going to fall short of what will eventually become the Chosen One.
Shes not powerful enough to create one person.
About the fact that they must stay together.
The Nightsisters utilize magic exclusively.
With my witches, its a bit of a hybrid.
Theyre definitely dabbling in the Force and calling the Force by a different name.
Theyre trying to cultivate their sensitivity to it without having to be trained by the Jedi, Headland added.
So we never sort of go, Theyre using magic the way that the Nightsisters are.
Theyre using the Force even though theyre not Jedi.'
That they Jedi werent going, Oh, well, thats magic.
Oh, well, thats the Force,' Headland concluded.
Thats one of the reasons they get so thrown off by what theyre seeing.
Its so unpredictable, and its difficult for them to categorize and then report back to the Council.
