Plenty. This is, in fact, a subject which will be explored in various upcoming bits of the Symphony.

Force sensitivity can be viewed as a sort of psionic ability, I suppose - the ability to tap an ambient energy field, possibly extradimensional, and manipulate it for various effects which mimic innate psionic powers (empathy, limited telepathy, telekinesis, various biofeedback tricks, electrokinesis if you're a really powerful Darksider). Force telepathy doesn't work the same way as innate telepathy, so the abilities interact, but not on a 1:1 basis. It's sort of like trying to read a Portuguese newspaper if you're fluent in Spanish.

Someone who is sensitive to the Force and an innate telepath would be quite a formidable individual.
