(Star Wars) How sentient is the force, if at all?

I've always hear the argument for Sith rule being that the Sith use the force, while Jedi's let the force use them. Does the force ever use people? Does it have a will with wants and needs, or is it just a cosmic, spiritual well of power to be drawn from?

Nobody can really answer this, not even the Jedi of the Old Republic. It's clear the force directs some things, but it seems to be more of a grand direction than influencing individual events. Everyone that deals with the Force has a different interpretation of it, but nobody really understands everything about the force (except maybe the Celestials).

The Light and Dark Side interpretation of the Jedi and Sith Orders are the most widespread. There are others that make this view seem narrow-minded. For example, there are the Aing-Tii Monks, who view the Force as a rainbow-like spectrum rather than two sides. There are also the Fallanassi, who call the Force the White Current and see it as a river that runs through everything, and cannot be diverted except as much as you would change a rivers course by sticking your hand in it. Both of these groups have Force abilities that Jedi can't begin to understand because of their separate philosophy.
