EmperorDragon is correct. I'm just following up with some comments since I've noted a bit of misconception about this in character thread comments recently.
It can be confusing with all the ways that characters can gain or spend Force points from other characters, but a character is not considered to have a Force rating unless it *has* or *gains* Force # as a Force power. This goes back (at least) to Champions of the Force: (Yoda of Dagobah)

That's how it works.
