Some of these examples don't seem to be equivalent in meaning to 'If one is a Jedi, then one uses the Force'.
A number of them seem to treat using the Force as equivalent to being capable of using the Force, which are clearly not equivalent. (2), (3), (4), (7), and (8) at least all merely assert that all Jedi can or are capable of using the Force. This is weaker than the original, which says that all Jedi actually do use the Force.
For my examples I did the following: 1.) If one does not use the force then one is not a Jedi. 2.) If one is not a Jedi one does not use the force. 3. All Jedi's use the force 4.) All Jedis are force users. Are these incorrect?
Is there a way to know what the superset and the subset is from the if...then language? For the Star Wars example, it seems logical that the Force is the superset and Jedis are a subset, but that is because of outside knowledge. For questions on which we do not have as much context, how can we tell what is what?
I'm not necessarily the greatest fan of 'Lawgic'. I'd prefer a method to break down the massive questions on the LSAT quickly without having to take time to draw up maps or scientific notation. Unfortunately, I have no alternative ideas than shortening the general idea down currently.
How is "Only force users can be Jedi" the equivalent of all those statements? Is it because "can" denotes possibility, but not necessity? I am confused. If I put the a dot outside of the Jedi circle, but inside the Force circle, then "Only force users can be (something else that isn't Jedi)," right? Can someone clarify this one statement for me.

I have a huge problem with using the / rather than the classic negation symbol ~

examples
all jedis are force users
those who are not force users can't be jedis
if someone is a jedi they must use the force
‘.’ Lightsaber is spelled wrong

(6) Only force users can be Jedi. can someone explain the logic behind the statement
"The only Jedi are the ones who can use the force".
Cant you use the force without being a Jedi.
Now I need 7Sage Chinese

y'all complaining about the star wars reference are only exposing yourselves for being uncultured. watch them!!!

#feedback I have never seen Star Wars. Another example would be GREAT. Maybe not a movie example.. something with animals or idk.
haven't seen Star Wars before but have some form of an idea of it luckily, feel like maybe we coulda used a different example
THE FORCE IS STRONG MOFOS
LOVE the fact that I very recently watched the entire star wars series LOL
Who knew that LSAT prep would make me want to binge Star Wars!
I wish yall would use some new examples, the Jedi example is now boring me!
respectfully, i do not like all the star wars examples.
I came up with a hunger games example: For one to be from panem then one can be from district 12
P →12 If one is not from Panem then one is not from district 12 /P → /12

Is it fair to say that conditional arguments are just "if then" arguments? Is that the easiest way to spot one in a passage on the test?
Enough with the Jedi example...execute Order 66
