Went back to playing KotOR 2 and discovered that you can train practically all the characters to be Force-users. The first time I played through the game I was kinda burnt out on KotOR so I hardly talked to the other characters, which is half of the game in the second title, and just saber'ed my way through.

You have to painstakingly build a relationship via the influence system (either pandering to them with words, or having them tag along during the main quest where they witness you performing deeds of daring-do) between the main character and the other characters to get the option to train them in the Force. Every so often they'll refuse to talk about a key subject until you've gained enough influence. Most of the interaction is interesting the first time around, and after so many years of not playing this game it's fun to work my way through the maze of dialog to subdue them to the main character's will.
