Which Force Powers exist in the Film Canon. Also known as the only canon, these days. What are examples of the various Force Powers exhibited in the Saga? No Legends stuff like Force Storms, those are...legends and nothing more.
Telekinesis (Force push, pull, etc...) Speed Mind trick Lightning Scream (?) Sense There are probably more, but those are the ones that I can easily recall.
Yeah, I know that TCW is canon, but since this is the PT Film Board, I thought I wouldn't mention it. Besides TCW has some of the more esoteric Force powers, like the Nightsister's magic.
Well let's catalogue all the Force Powers that we see in the Saga. Force Pull-Used by Luke to summon his lightsaber on Bespin Force Choke-Used by Vader to strangle Motti on the Death Star Force Lightning-Used by both Count Dooku and Emperor Palpatine on numerous occasions Force Push is an interesting power that we first saw in the PT. No Jedi or Sith used that in the OT, but it's something that was used very often in the PT. It's interesting that we see a lot more Force usage in the PT, whereas the Force use in the OT was fairly limited.
Force... Grip (Grip is like choke but levitates the body upward and allows you to manipulate the body in mid air, choke only affects the throat) Choke (subtle difference between Grip and Choke) -Darth Vader in ROTS (on Padme), ANH and ESB (on two Moffs). Push (TPM and ROTS) -Darth Maul, Anakin and Obi-Wan on Mustafar Pull (TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ESB, and ROTJ) -Pull is used often with push. Anakin uses pull when Obi-Wan throws his lightsaber to Anakin in the duel with Dooku on Geonosis (EPII: AOTC) Jump or Leap (TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ROTJ) -Obi-Wan uses it to reach the bridge/catawalk Gui-Gon and Darth Maul are fighting on. Mind Trick (ANH, TPM, AOTC) -Most famously used by Ob-Wan on Tatooine "These are not the droids you are looking for." Lightning (ROTS & ROTJ) -Palpatine uses it against Mace Windu in EPIII and on Luke Skywalker in EPVI. Scream (ROTS) -Palpatine uses Force Scream when he uses the Vapaad attack on the Jedi Masters Speed (ROTS) -Anakin in the duel with Dooku in EPIII. Shockwave (ROTS) -Yoda uses this when fighting Palpatine in the Senate in Episode III.
Some form of healing as Ben is doing with Luke after the Tusken Raider attack. Telekinesis which covers everything from chokes to throwing objects to jumping. Mind Trick. Lightning Scream Speed Absorption, Yoda deflects lightining without a saber, Mace does but with the help of a saber. Ben and Anakin have to use this to some degree so as not to be burnt to a crisp so close to lava. Sensing, Vader senses Luke on Endor, Ben the death of billions of Alderaan. Also Luke has to get a feel for the right shot that destroys the Death Star, and this again has to be used whenever a blaster bolt is deflected, and I suspect whenever Force users battle each other it's not just a sword skill at work but a sense power as they do battle. Also, an awareness of surroundings as Luke and Obi Wan are doing with Padme int he other room on Coruscant. Sending? Whatever you call it when Luke calls to Leia from underneath Cloud City. Some kind of Super Stealth, or cloaking one's self from the Force as Palpatine is able to do against the Jedi for decades.
1. Precognition. Makes the Jedi so quick to deflect blasters and sabers. 2. "Seeing things" that aren't visible to the eyes. Anakin naming objects to the Jedi Council in TPM.
Telekinesis Telepathy Force Lightning Tutaminis Force Speed Force Stealth Living Force Force Ghost Dark Side Deformation Precognition
Can we forget this ever happened and strike it from canon? Lol. This was one of my biggest complaints of TPM. The whole reason Obi-wan couldn't save Qui-gon was because he couldn't run down that hallway fast enough. Yet they show off this speed ability in the first five minutes of the prequels?

Would you elaborate on the circumstances? And I'm not a PT basher. I love all the movies. But this is just one of those things I think of every time I see this part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think we are forgetting Foresight as in seeing into the future through visions or what have you. Or is that included in Telepathy? Also, conversely you could say that Palpatine used some ability like Shroud or whatever you'd like to call it to block the Jedi's ability to sense the future. Also, I think some kind of Persuasion power (I'm obviously not very good at naming these powers... Lol) can be seen whenever Palpatine speaks in the senate to lend more weight to his voice. Also, I've always wondered about Luke being able to balance his entire weight on one hand in ESB. Is that a separate power?
One explanation could be that Obi-Wan was very tired after dueling with Maul. As opposed to the other scene when he is comparatively rested. Plus he didn't know when those doors were going to close.
Yeah I'm not going to disagree with that because it is after all a movie and anything goes. But I just always wondered why we never see that ability again at any time during the movies. Seems like at some point it would have been useful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have a non prequel force use question, in a new hope during the scene where Obi-wan turns off the tractor beam and has to get the two man storm trooper patrol to go the other way was he using telekinises to make something move or mind trick to make them think they heard something? Scream (ROTS) -Palpatine uses Force Scream when he uses the Vapaad attack on the Jedi Masters?- not doubting you but I do not remeber this can you point out a source source that states Palps does that in the scene you are mentioning?Now Vader at the end of ROTS with the NOOOOOOO! and the med droids being destroyed may be an example of this power and in the old now non canon EU Anakin legit brings down a building with a scream in Labyrinth of Evil.
He used up all his Force Points using the jump to get on the catwalk On a serious note, shouldn't this thread be in the saga section?
I don't know that there are really separate push, pull, and choke powers. Can't we just call it telekinesis? Vader uses the Force to operate some carbonite chamber controls on Bespin if I remember correctly -- are we going to add Force Button Push to the list? Or a Force Lightsaber Boomerang from the Death Star 2 duel? Also...
In general principle, I see your point. However, Jedi and Sith seem to have limits on what they can do with telekinesis. That's why I'm citing specific uses of the power. For example, a Jedi can't crush a steel door with the Force, but that does fall within the bounds of telekinesis in non SW media.
