One idea I have is that aura is unlockable for anyone and that Jedi powers are a form of aura that only a certain percent of people can unlock that allows them to have multiple "semblances" at once but without the specialized semblance and the constant energy shield. Basically, Jedis are jacks with multiple abilites and no protection while aura users are specialists with protection. Cyrania, we ought not. If you want help with your fic, then you will receive it. But we don't "ought to." Saying we "ought to" is a demand, and a faux pas. Just so you know.

Now, I think I already explained this to you, but the way Force and Aura work are quite different in a fundamental level. However, the way you explain it now is a bit more concrete and logical. Having some people develop their power to use the Star Wars' Force to the point it becomes RWBY's Aura/Semblance makes sense. However, you need to correct your concept of the Force.

Jedi, individuals trained in the Force, have a set of abilities that can be listed very quickly:


 * Feeling the prescence of living beings.


 * Danger and general precognition.


 * Suggestionate weak minds.


 * Levitate objects, themselves, and push enemies.


 * In some, exclusive cases, lightning generation.

A Jedi can't absorb damage to boost their strength; can't create a copy of themselves as a decoy; can't manipulate matter to instant-freeze their surroundings. Jedi are not jacks-of-all-trades.

In your story, you can make Specialists do that. But Jedi can't and shouldn't.
