ST What Force Powers/Representation of the Force Would You Like To See In The ST?

I don't remember any new abilities in the EU. Zahn gave Luke that memory rewind thing, but it didn't suit in my opinion.

New abilities would be good, but I can't imagine what they could be.

What about Maul? He stayed alive despite being cut in two** - I'd say that qualifies as "cheating death".

Plagueis will not be a part of the ST in any way. I'd be surprised if he was even mentioned in dialogue.

** I wonder if we will get to find out what happened to Maul's legs post-TPM. Did they fare better than the top? I can see the novel or comic book series now - Darth Maul: How the Other Half Lives

 

if i could double like this i'd do it. there's really enough mind numbing action movies out there with so much powers and light rasy zinging out of peoples hands it gets silly. in fact, once the plasma balls of light start flying around in any movie my mind starts to shut down. remember luke in rotj, quiet, serious, purposeful, in jabbas palace. he was bad ass there and he didnt have to do much.
yoda in esb with the music swelling up moving the x-wing did far more than him hoppin around in the PT for me, but then again, it was the first time seeing it. and it was also all practical. the animated yoda effects made it seem cheaper to me in my head.

 

They should aim for subtle yet powerful if they want to have escalation in force powers. A good example I think would be Sidious force-choking Dooku half-way across the galaxy and Sidious hitting Yoda with ancient dark arts of illusion in TCW S6. These two things are far more memorable to me than any of TFU over-the-top stuff. In fact, I think I would like to see more illusion/glamour force powers in the future as opposed to brute force.

 

Except when he is revealed as Luke's grandfather, Rey and Ren's great-grandfather...

 

The emoticon heavily suggests that you are joking, but I'm not certain ...

 

I always wondered what this meant. Its still a WTF did he say thing for me. I think George should create and talk in his own language...all the time.

 

Personally, I've always felt, and I think the PT reinforces it, that the moral power is greater than any physical prowess in STAR WARS ethos. Obi-Wan's 'You can't win Darth' speech, Leia's sacrifice and Luke's insistence on death in preference to a life of dark side existence is really the driving force (figuratively) behind the story, especially the OT. The PT is all about the consequences of life lived in the service of one's self. Anakin's dilemma changed the spirit of the story into a pathos, or the tragic quality portrayed through Anakin and his situation. So I hope the story returns, more than anything, to the power of moral judgement and character as the greatest force in the universe.

 

Apparently force visions to see into the past.

I love the idea of that. Projecting visions to other individuals is a cool thing to see used in the new movies. I hope it's explained as the force.

 

I understood it to mean "the Force is very powerful"

 

I know what he meant. Was deliberately (and jokingly) taking it literally, ala Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

I was actually responding to DarthBane93 but I was too lazy to cut your quote out of the post

 

the memory rewind things is huge. also It was the eu that showed Jedi like Luke bringing up gale force winds and whirlwinds into the picture, that is EU folks, and there was more than that. Electric judgment, a force disguise that fools anyone that sees you, force flashing holocams, elaborate illusions, etc. none of this is in the films. best force powers are in the eu by far.

 

See, a lot of the EU powers would be okay with me if it's something that was always mental, and whether if it's a dark side power or light side ability, any Sith or in a Jedi's case should be able do it too.

I never liked how Aleema Keto was able to creat actual illusions that people could see. How Tott Doneeta had this special Force ability that allowed him to communicate with animals. How Nomi Sunrider could control the outcome of a battle with the so-called Force Meditation. And how she was able to remove the Force ability altogether from Ulic Qel-Droma was just ridiculous. Not to mention, the Emperor's ability to bestow the Dark Side in his adepts was just another example of why the EU felt so detached from GL's vision.

 

Jacen Solo being able to hide his presence in the force.

Force Healing/Jedi Healers (I don't believe they talk about any of them in any of the movies, but they have in the EU can't remember from where though)

Pretty much anything Galen Marek/Starkiller was doing in TFU and it's sequel.

More force jumping and speed

Didn't Darth Nihilus siphon the life force from people

i'm sure there are other examples in the old EU.


As far as new stuff.......

Maybe something like an advanced version of mind tricks that amount to force illusions

Expand on force lightning and make it an actual bolt

Somebody in an earlier post said something about force fire......expand on it maybe and use force elements (Maybe........... this is Star Wars and not Avatar)

Force teleportation

 

The Clone Wars: Wild Space, and the Clone Wars Gambit novels (all by the same author - Karen Miller) tend to give the Jedi Healers a bit more time in the spotlight. Also the Medstar duology by Michael Reaves (with Barriss Offee as the healer in this case).

 

If they do a new force power or two I prefer that it is a big reveal like the Emperors sith lightning was. It makes the power more special when it is not overused.

 

Avada Kedavra!

 

Just what has already been established in the movies. Don't turn it video game-y by making millions of new force powers.

 

- Masking Force Presence
- Jedi Mind Tricks are always a hoot
- If Ren has one human arm, he should be allowed to use a weaker version but effective Force Lightning
- Force Grip/Crush
- Force Telepathy
- Force Tapas (Remain warm in a cold environment, like a Buddhist monk that have steam come off them when meditating in the mountains)
- Force Morichro (The ability to suspend Life support while dealing with failing organs
- Force Fear/Trance (Hynotize and make the victims hallucinate their dread

 

I agree....

....I just want it to expand in some way for both the light and the dark side, or all-together. As we're moving forward in this universe I think force powers have to expand/evolve IMO, albeit, gracefully.

 

I know people want new things, but I only want to see the known abilities from the films...but in different ways. e.g., Force choke a whole group of people in a room, mind blast a person or persons with excruciating pain until they die, or Force mind control a person or people to do things, such as forcing them to kill others, as well as themselves. And last but not least, Force mind controlling a whole room of people where they lose the ability to think and move, much like how Prof. X did in X-Men.

 

Telekinesis - "moving objects" is one that can be done lots of ways - if you allow it to move really small things (atoms, molecules, etc) in vast numbers at once.

 

To be fair the balance between light and dark is canon due to Clone Wars

 

Force Puke.
