Recent relevations about the Anima Mundi and the nature of divinity in-canon have made the Anima seem a lot like what I know about the Force (except the midichlorian stuff. Are you pro- or anti-midichlorian? :P ). It's sort of why I went exposition mode on you and nearly spoiled canon. Ha!

I'll have to research things a bit but I'll edit my tag when I make a decision.
