Overview
Based on the character of Luke Skywalker, in SWG, Force Sensitive are individuals that feel a connection to the energy that surrounds all living things and binds the galaxy together, knows as the Force. They are, in other words, highly attuned to the flow of the Force. Force-sensitives can, with training, learn to sense and manipulate the Force.

The Jedi of the Old Republic took Force-sensitive children at a young age to become a part of their Order. Trained Jedi could sense high levels of the Force in persons. The presence of those persons in a vicinity could also be sensed.

Force Sensitive characters can use ranged weapons, but are more of a melee weapon profession with the weapon of choice being the Lightsaber, and all Jedi are trained almost exclusively in Lightsaber combat. Only Force Sensitive characters can wield and eventually craft their own Lightsaber.

The ultimate rank of a Jedi character is Master Jedi. Master Jedi are Force Sensitive beings that can use their Force powers to over-come and control their enemies and can master the art of fighting with a Lightsaber. A Master Jedi may embrace the Light or Dark side of the Force. a Jedi may choose to join either the Rebellion or the Empire.

Roleplaying
Given that SWG takes place after Episode IV and before Episode V, declared Jedi are very rare and usually hunted down by the Galactic Empire. Those few surviving Force Sensitive and Jedi are often regarded as outcasts, witches, or just plain crazy for belief in the Force. Veteran players are encouraged to take new Force Sensitive players "under thier wing" in an almost Master-Apprentice type of relationship. Force Sensitive are also encouraged to choose a Light or Dark side and to follow that path. For more information on what it means to be Force Sensitive and a Jedi, please refer to this Wikipedia entry. For a player-driven idea behind roleplaying the master-padawan relationship, see this Friday Feature at the Star Wars: Galaxies webpage.
