Eternal Father
I like space wizardry.

Could someone perhaps put up a "no preference" option?

Force Users - Just because it's ALWAYS been this way. I didn't even start writing NFUs until 2006, but I do still enjoy NFUs very much when I write them.

I enjoy Force Users simply for the fact that there are more options for my character to pursue. And, I like the added mysticism of it. I've always been a fantasy writer, and a lover of science fiction's technical detail, so Star Wars Force Users offers the best of both.
Hal Terrano
Prince of Porridge
Non-Force users.
I've always felt that there's a certain poetry about writing with the Force, and I'm not at all poetic, in fact I'm a blunt blunt spoon.
But I'm also awful at technology, which requires knowledge and common sense and technology is an NFU's best friend.
I should just be a rock.

Fabula Caromed
Belle of the Brawl
Despite how my main on this site has been an FU, most of my characters for the last several years have been NFU. And Fabs barely counts as a Forcie, since she only uses the Force to turn into a raging Wookiee.

I like NFUs...but I can play them in any genre and setting. The Force is unique, so whilst I like playing a character with no wizard powers, those wizard powers do make the characters somewhat more unique.
Coolest Wookie
I can settle with none force users but the Species plays a Huge role honestly.
Darth Imperatus
Character
Force users. Star Wars would just be science fiction if not for the force--that added fantastical element turns it into something far deeper and more wholesome. The force is the central concept of Star Wars.
The Force is everything. I didn't come here to play with a typical person. I could do that in any other RP board. But the Force is what makes Star Wars for me. That is the reason. Also, I have never liked playing typical people.
EDIT: A few more. I am a person who prefers having "the ladder". You know, progression. Force Users have a cool rank progression and that is what I love about them. They are more than just somebody who have too much freedom as NFUs have. I don't like playing with a character who can't advance. And since NFUs don't have a set rank progression, I don't feel like they can advance in any way.
Rank Progression = Character Advancement

Moira Skaldi
Paperclip Maximiser
Well, out of my two mains, Moira's the one I actually consistently like, whereas Sio annoys me a lot!
On a more relevant level, I like playing an overpowered space wizard. Then again, when it comes to Sio there's no mystical element, she mainly uses the Force to turn into a force of nature and crush opposition.
NFUs are fun as well, especially since there's more of a challenge involved writing them. I'd be happy if there was an NFU major faction other than the Mandos that can hold its own against the forcer-dominated ones. Of course, my one NFU main, Moira, is not exactly 'normal'.

Overall I prefer non-force users because they allow me to play with the technology more, feels wrong being too reliant on technology as a force user. That said it is satisfying waving around a lightstick and severing a few heads from their bodies. 
Evasion Studios
I prefer a hodgepodge of characters of both natures. However I find a difficulty in actually training my characters in the Force Usage. So I try and be unique with the Force in my characters, not really sticking to something traditional.
Val`Sion is my Order-less wandering Force Warrior - allowing me to write the Force like a guiding presence without delving into the details of it.
Blitz combines drugs with natural force affinity - thus making him blithely unaware he's using it, and can only access it with custom spice, that unlocks the potential for hazy visions.
Harland is a former Jedi who had turned his back on the Force, and barely has a glimmer of it. This method gives him a rare usage here or there, rejecting it's necessity.
Nazo is the only character I am working with in a training fashion. Though his learning will come discovering all the new facets and abilities he's never witnessed or seen before.

I like to play whatever get's me the highest chance of RP. In my case that means neither as far as SWRP is concerned.
Darth Armyss
Nobleman, Sith, and Womanizer
Actually I don't really have a preference. Sure my only character here right now is force sensitive, but I've played "badass normals" elsewhere.

Look what they've done to my dream
I like posting as a FU simply because I feel it gives you more to work with, that and the majority of others are FUs and I find playing a NFU agains them sometimes results in dead-ends.
BUT I prefer a NFU as I can play a character more to how I would feel and think as a human with no powers - just the tools on me and a brain and that's it.

Garith Darkhold
Dark Kashi
I write both and I truly do not have a preference but I had to vote for when since I do lean more in one direction. I have just written Garith for to damn long. Hell I even tired to retire him once and killed off. That did not work out so well because I missed the grumpy old bastard and I brought him back.
