 | Yuuzhan Vong I |
 Clearly the Yuuzhan Vong have a problem accessing/being accessed through the Force. To me, this indicates that the problem with the Yuuzhan Vong is midichlorian-based. That theory is substantiated by a brief mention in the New Jedi Order that the Yuuzhan Vong have an "extra" piece of DNA, common to all Yuzhaan Vong life thus far examined, but not found in any other life form.
As we have seen, midichlorians are the connections between the life form and life. Between the body and the Force. Just because the human eye only sees a tiny fraction of light spectrum does not indicate the non-existence of other wavelengths of light. It is possible, nay probable, that the spectrum of the Force that the Jedi can sense is similarly limited. Indeed, as the Force is sensed differently person to person, is it not also logical that the Force would be sensed differently species to species, further strengthening the argument that the Force is not limited to what a Jedi may sense. The Force is greater than any one being can sense or encompass.
With that statement as a basic tenet of my argument, we begin. Like any other life form, the Yuuzhan Vong must have midichlorians. Without midichlorians, life is not possible--another basis for my argument. In that case, all Yuuzhan Vong must have some amount of midichlorians, correct? Therefore, the problem is that the Force presence of the Yuuzhan Vong is somehow "blocked."
I think that somehow what that "extra" piece of DNA acts as a midichlorian blocker. If midichlorians emit in wavelengths, then it is theoretically possible to block them. This would be either by replaying the same waves perfectly out of phase (i.e. the additive property of sound waves), or to polarize the waves by passing them through a filter which only allows certain wavelengths in certain directions to pass through (i.e. polarized sunglasses).
Those wavelengths that are left, are in a direction are not prone to detection by Jedi, or other Force users. Therefore, it required a redirection on the part of the Force user to try to pick up something that normally isn't detected. It's like straining your ears to hear the screech of a bat. For some, it was easier with something to focus on. (Anakin and the lambent)
How did this come to pass? Well, next my next blog will cover that, according to my POV, anyway.

I have to agree again Mei. Possibly the extra piece of DNA is created by the Force itself. As in when the Vong's homeworld made it's move to block them from the Force, it created the extra DNA with the Force.
Mei I must say you should have been blogging much sooner girl!

I would, however, tend to disagree. Not that her point is invalid, but my ideas are different. I warn ahead of time that I've not ready the New Jedi Order books, but I've gleaned a good deal of information from the database here. And let me give my thought, if I might.
The Yuzan Vong are from another galaxy, correct? So, perhaps they just do not have midiclorians?
I can already hear the fanboys howling for my blood, but let us consider this for a second, hmm? All life on Earth is carbon based. We dont have any silicon, or boron, or lead-based lifeforms. Most of your creatures on Earth will bleed read, not green... ^o_o^

Er... Wrong scifi, sorry.
Anyhow, is it not possible then, that lifeforms from another galaxy could have evolved so differently as to have a biological system totally outside the scope of the understanding of anyone from that galaxy far, far away? It's been said that midiclorians are -nessicary- for life to exist, but that could just be a lack of thinking-outside-the-box. If the only form of life you know is a form of life with the midi's, then you -cant- think of life anyother way.

Heck, if giant sponge-like plants started growing in a Kansas cornfield tomorrow, how many folks would start asking it intellectual questions? Or would we just poke and prod and dissect it thinking it was an alien fungus when it -really- could be an extraterrestrial Einstien?
Well, that's my lengthy discourse on a reason -why- the Yuzhaan Vong might not be Force-sensitive. Take it or leave it, my young padawn.

I would have to agree with Mei Siu, I have read the entire series (New Jedi Order). The Extra DNA the Yuuzhan Vong have does block the Force. Fact is that in the last book (Unifyed Force). The Living World Zonna Sekot takes the remain Yuuzhan Vong, as its own, and promises to change them into Force senitive beings. In another book (one I can not remember), Luke and his family find the Living world. The Story is told, by the plant of it birth, in the Gaxley, were the Yuuzhan Vong came from. It was said, there race were evil and conquered other specis. The Parent World of Zonna Sekot, kicked them out of the Gaxley, made took there live Force from them. As they were no long sentian beings.

Perhaps this extra DNA is similar to that of Ysalamiri found on Myrk, that repels the force creating force bubbles. Im surprised that in teh whole NJO series no-one made the connection. (if they did i dont remember)

This is a slight spoiler. Do not read if planning to read the entire NJO

No,no,no young padawan. Ok you admited you hadn't read the series so I'll give you that. The Vong are indeed from this galaxy. It says so towards the end of the NJO in the Final Prophecy of The Unifiying Force.

This is a contiuation of my last comment and is also a spoiler. Do not read if planning to read the entire NJO!!!
The Vong are the indigenous people of the parent Zonoma Sekot. The Vong some how became spacefaring and began invading other races. In this manner they managed to slowly disconect themselves from the force. Not entirly just to a certain level and frequency as has been discused in this blog. Some how (I'm not sure) the parent Zonoma Sekot died/disapeared/ceased to be, I don't really know. But before it did id spawned the child Zonoma Sekot and drove the Vong from this Galaxy.

So the Vong wandered the Intergalactic void for multiple generations and began to forget their homeworld. Then the events of the NJO take place.
Feewh, I'm done with setting things straight.

Now I'm setting my self straight. That should read:
It says so towards the end of the NJO in the "Final Prophecy" or "The Unifiying Force."
