How is it possible to use the force through prosthetic limbs?

0

You’re not generating the Force through your limbs. Jedi make gestures out of habit–as the Force is like an extension of your body, extending the body toward the object in question is often practiced. But Jedi do not have to use such gestures to levitate things, as it is their minds that do the “moving”: that very point is made in Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson, when Luke is teaching telekinetic tricks to Streen and Gantoris. Force Lightning is an exception, as it springs from the body to the target like any electrical loop–it takes the path of least resistance. One would not want to do it with prosthetic limbs, however, as they would short out when the lightning is generated, which is why Darth Vader never uses Force Lightning, since his suit and prosthetics are paramount to maintaining his health.
