In Paris I essentially edit those who use the Force (4)

I believe the answer is:

jedi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'those who use the force' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'in paris i essentially edit' is the wordplay.
'in paris i' becomes 'je' ('I' in French).
'essentially' means to look at the middle letters.
The centre of 'edit' is 'di'.
'je'+'di'='JEDI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jedi that I've seen before include "Forceful knight" , "Forceful people in films" , "Star Wars warrior" , "Star Wars knight" , "Legendary crimebusters" .)
