Your post here said nothing about "actual combat". Using the force on that drone is still using the force.

I know, but my point was to counter whoever said something about the fight being unfair to the PC if they go against Force users, and I meant that throughout ANH none of the "good guys", except Obi-wan, used the Force against their foes.
In other words, ANH proved you can have a story set in the SW universe where none of the main good guys use the Force to fight or defeat their enemies.
