[Star Wars]Does the Force exist in our galaxy, today, and could Earth humans use it?

I've only seen the main 9 movies. I've never read any books and haven't watched the other films or TV series yet.

Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a distant galaxy. Obi-Wan describes the Force as "an energy field that surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds **the galaxy** together." He didn't mention whether he believes the Force extends beyond the Star Wars galaxy to the entire universe. I'm not even sure if the Star Wars characters believe there is life outside their galaxy?

If the Force exists in the universe, could Earth humans use it today, being light-years apart from the Star Wars galaxy and probably millions of years later?

I don't know whether the prequel trilogy's idea of midichlorians is restricted to the SW galaxy and whether the organisms could exist in Earth human blood?

At the peak of the most widespread Force-using tradition in Galactic history, there were around 10,000 Jedi in a galaxy of quadrillions.

So odds are that our planet, with its less than 8 billion inhabitants, may not have even *one* person currently living on it that's strong in the Force.
