There is a mix that makes sense and it’s somewhere between “Does it control your actions?/Partially, but it also obeys your commands”. The Force is on the one hand guiding but on the other it can be influenced, again there’s the idea of a Sith so powerful he could manipulate the midichlorians. With that in mind I’d much rather free will and its cosmic consequences be the thrust of the conflict over the Jedi being in the wrong about how they observe the force, with grey being the actual balance. Once selfishness is not considered a moral bad I think the mythos gets too muddied to follow. The Jedi are not infallible but they are in tune with the force to the extent that they can commune with Jedi from the other side and still exist in death, I think that lends some credibility.
