Top 5 lesser-known abilities of the Force

Star wars meme

May the Force be with you! Star Wars has introduced the fans to the concept of the Force and its usage. Technically, it is a field of energy among individuals which are manifested by Force-sensitive users to use for various purposes. However, there are other uses of the Force than the ones shown by the franchise. 

The concept of Force even if its abstract, still piques the interest of the fans even to this day. There are also other uses of the Force which are not mentioned, but they are equally powerful if fallen into the correct hands. 

Eager to know what they are? Let’s dig in!

Star Wars: The coolest abilities of the Force that fans don’t know about 

5) Dark transfer

In the movie Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo Ren brings Rey back to life through a power transfer. This is known as the Sith reverse Dark Transfer and is used by many Sith Lords to gain powers from their opponents. 

Dark Transfer helps the Sith Lord to pull out the life force from their opponent to themselves and emerge more powerful. The usage of Dark Transfer was also seen when Cade Skywalker used this particular power to kill Darth Talo in Star Wars: Legacy. This power used by Cade was later revealed to resurrect Morrigan Corde and Deliah Blue from the dead. 


4) Crucitorn

In the entire Star Wars franchise, Jedi master Eeth Koth used this technique to inflict weakness upon his enemies. This technique of the Force used by the Jedis lowers the pain threshold of their opponent. This Force ability has the power to make even the slightest cut seem like a mortal wound. 

This ability aims to make the fight seem easier and finish it faster without killing their enemies. However, the Siths use this to torture their enemies and give them a painful death. 

Crucitorn also can increase someone’s pain threshold as well. In Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker failed to do this trick to himself when Obi-Wan Kenobi had “high ground” in the Mustafar system. 


3) Battle meditation

This Force ability was used by Qui-Gonn Jinn during the Star Wars I: Phantom Menace when he engaged in battle with Sith Lord Darth Maul. This power allows both the Jedi as well as the Sith to increase their stamina, enhancing their battle skills and weakening the morale of the enemies simultaneously.  

Qui-Gonn Jinn used this power to separate himself from Darth Maul, which gave him additional power. Even though it didn’t work out for the latter, it is an unmatched power when it comes to a close-quarter combat. 


2) Deadly sight

This power is generally used by the Sith Lords to weaken their opponents. With this one nasty look, the Sith can channel their anger and turn this into pure energy. This energy would destroy the person’s physical being with just one look. Sith Lord Darth Maul and Darth Sariss have this ability. 


1) Flow walking

This ability was seen to be only mastered by Jedi Master Yoda and Emperor Palpatine or Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Flow walking is a Force-sensitive technique that both the Jedis and the Sith use to see past, present, and future. It can also alter the future course of events and also can make changes in history. 

Jedi Master Yoda used this power in Clone Wars Season 6 to predict Anakin’s future where he found the fall of the Jedi Order and Anakin turning to the Dark Side
