Q: What would war and diplomacy look like if keeping secrets were effectively impossible?
A: Telepathy & mind-crafting, which is right up Jedi Street from Sith Row and the corresponding corridors of control and power. I believe The Force was a game being played on a much bigger scale than was originally presented. A story arc in The Clone Wars series covered a small patch of it: The Force is presented as a transcendental element behind the creation of Life, the Universe & Everything and manifests on a macro-universal scale, which common society and technology have yet to take seriously (much like this society's approach to Pyramid Power & such). Those who really know what's going on; i.e., the Jedi & the Sith; are effectively playing with the galaxy's control rods and having effects beyond what their physical presence would suggest in six movies.
To Anakin & Obi Wan it was all just a dream they had in a crippled spacecraft. But Anakin was given a preview of his future (which was since wiped) and Obi Wan conferenced with the reconstituted essence of Qui Gon Jin.
