Basically what the title says. There’s always discussions about someone being force sensitive and how they could use the force or not sensitive to it at all, but has anyone ever been completely immune to it? Like if Vader was doing a force choke and the person was just like “why are you holding your hand up like that? What are you trying to do?”

The Yuuzhan Vong aren't completely immune to force attacks but they are "outside" the force and can't be sensed by force users

Everybody talks about Legends canon but in the main canon Toydarians are not force immune but force resistant. There's the line in ep 1 where Qui Gon is trying to convince Watto to take credits and Watto is all like "get the fuck outta here with that bullshit, it doesn't work on us".

I always thought that was playing on the "mind tricks only work on the weak-minded" thing. And thats why he was having none of Qui-Gon's nonsense

I think Watto saying "I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't work on me!" like that is a cultural pride thing, not a physiological thing.

Jabba resists Jedi mind tricks, too, doesn't he? Idk if that's just being strong-minded or a biological condition for Hutts.

i vaguely remember that (in legends) there where some creatures ~~on dagobah~~ that created a kind of force void.

i think those where weaponized as anti force backpacks or something.

edit: their called Ysalamir and i was wrong about them steming from dagobah

There was a multiplayer mode in Jedi Knight II, Capture the Ysalamiri. Like capture the flag, but when you captured it you couldn't use any of your Force abilities.
Fuck I loved those games.

Flying blue guy in phantom menace comes to mind.

Nobody mentions how dense the atmospheric air pressure on Tatooine must have been for those tiny wings on him to be enough to give him flight. The speed of Luke's T-16 must have been fairly slow so it wouldn't have burst into flames from just friction with that dense air.
