Part of me thinks that Baylan Skoll still harbors a lot of sentiment towards the force and its influence. You can see it in the way that he never seems to try and control the ways events unfold. He still (for the most part) seems content to allow events to play out as they will, or as the Force directs.
He claims that he no longer abides by the Jedi teachings, and claims that he no longer has any faith, but I’ve grown up religious, and even though I no longer believe or practice, it’s still difficult to completely extricate that sort of influence from my decision-making.
I imagine that it’d be more difficult to separate for Baylan Skoll, for whom the existence of the Force is irrefutable, even if he professes to no longer believe in it, as he continues to wield it.
