Lucas came up with the idea of midi-chlorians right from the start, and he intended certain races to be more powerful in the Force than humans. "Their brains are different," he explained in his notes. "They have more midi-chlorians in their cells."
High Republic Era, has introduced one new race whose Force-power would have been envied by even Anakin.
The book introduces a character named Udi Dis, whose race, the Talortai, are all strong in the Force. They evolved in a star system plagued by meteor storms, and as a result, as they began to explore their star system, they developed a unique talent known as "pathfinding." As the novel explains, "All Talortai had an innate sense of direction, feeling the vibrations of the cosmos in their bones, but Dis's navigational skills were off the chart. Thanks to his talents, he could feel the location of every asteroid in the field. He didn't need maps or even a navidroid. All he needed was the Force."
Udi Dis was one of the few Talortai to embrace his factions they chose in the Star Wars saga would have had a massive advantage.
What's more, it's easy to imagine the ways in which Anakin Skywalker would have used this power when he became Darth Vader. In The Empire Strikes Back, for example, he'd never have lost the Millennium Falcon when Han Solo flew his ship into the asteroid field, and Han's trick of hiding his vessel against the hull of Vader's Star Destroyer would have failed. It's a good job Darth Vader didn't possess the power of the Talortai - because the greatest villain of Star Wars would have been impossible to defeat.
