5 Jedi With the Most Unique Force Powers (And George Lucas Only Created 2 of Them)

by

In the Star Wars universe, the Jedi Masters are renowned for their profound bond with the Force. However, not all Jedi possess powers beyond the common abilities such as telekinesis, mind manipulation, and precognition. While each Jedi varies in skill level, a select few have a unique and extraordinary connection to the Force that sets them apart. These exceptional powers, often inherited or developed through extensive practice and rigorous training over a lifetime, distinguish these Jedi from their colleagues and offer a tantalizing glimpse of the immense, untapped power of the Force.

Here are five Jedi characters known for wielding exceptionally uncommon and scarcely observed Force abilities, some of which were even envisioned by the esteemed George Lucas.

5. Luke Skywalker — Force Projection

As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I can’t help but be in awe when recalling the electrifying moment on Crait. In a desperate bid to protect the Resistance from the First Order, the once reclusive and aged Luke Skywalker, who had retreated into seclusion on Ahch-To, amazed us all with an unprecedented display of the Force’s power.

From his remote exile, he miraculously projected a lifelike likeness of himself across the galaxies straight to Crait. This projection was so authentic it appeared tangible to others, engaged with the physical surroundings, and even engaged in a formidable lightsaber battle with Kylo Ren – all without actually being there! Truly, the Force still remains strong with this one.

Though the intense effort of a single act drained Luke significantly, as he poured all his energy into the Force to craft a deception so convincing it would deceive his nephew. The immense concentration and power demanded for Force Projection underscored a Jedi’s genuine strength in their connection to the Force. By making this selfless sacrifice, he not only safeguarded his friends and sister but also etched an indelible legacy as Luke Skywalker with a fitting final heroic act.

4. Cal Kestis — Force Stasis

Cal Kestis possesses an exceptional talent that enables him to momentarily immobilize both foes and objects. This extraordinary ability, referred to as Force Stasis, is an advanced version of telekinesis that demands a Jedi to exhibit near-impeccable focus and concentration. With this power, Cal can halt incoming blaster shots or freeze several adversaries simultaneously. The Force Stasis proves to be incredibly useful in providing Cal and his team with a strategic advantage during combat scenarios.

Instead of the typical telekinesis, where one only pushes or pulls objects, Force Stasis requires Cal to instill his will onto his target at a molecular level, causing the target’s movement to completely stop. This power, combined with his psychometry ability, establishes Cal as one of the most powerful Jedi in his time, understanding the Force’s connection to all life forms and inanimate objects alike.

3. Qui-Gon Jinn — Immortality

In a different perspective, Qui-Gon Jinn wasn’t typically regarded as possessing a unique power. Yet, he was the pioneer among Jedi who uncovered the secret to surviving death by merging with the Force. After being slain by Darth Maul on Naboo in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”, he became the first Force ghost. Initially, he manifested only as a disembodied voice, guiding his former pupil, Obi-Wan Kenobi, from beyond the grave. But the finale of “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi” revealed Qui-Gon’s spectral form for the first time.

Previously, the Jedi Council thought it impossible for an individual to continue existing in the physical realm via the Force. They held that true unity with the Force required complete submission. However, Qui-Gon’s proficiency in the Living Force was the secret ingredient enabling him to maintain his unique persona even after death. This skill was then imparted to Yoda and Obi-Wan, empowering them to appear as Force spirits following their demise.

2. Avar Kriss — Song of the Force

During the High Republic period, Avar Kriss was renowned for her extraordinary talent of perceiving the “Melody of the Force.” This skill, sometimes called “lightsaber music,” enabled her to detect the subtle ties that bind the Force among all living beings, experiencing them as a captivating musical composition. She could then harness this distinct perception to find an individual precisely or, on a grander scale, establish a harmonious link between several Jedi through their minds using her unique insight.

Avar Kriss’ distinctive talent set her apart on the battlefield, for she could perceive the Force as a symphony, using its melodies to anticipate danger and coordinate her allies in flawless unity. Her understanding of the Force as a grand orchestra allowed her to identify individuals who were discordant with the Force, be it dark-side users or those with malicious intentions. This extraordinary ability, resembling the real-life condition known as synesthesia, was exclusive to Avar Kriss in all of Star Wars legend.

1. Quinlan Vos — Force Psychometry

With just a simple touch, Quinlan Vos’s extraordinary talent, psychometry, would reveal to him the recollections and feelings of a person from their past. This distinct type of ‘Force-sight’ was not common, but made him an exceptional detective within the Jedi Order. He could trace memories by handling a lightsaber once wielded by another, or reexperience incidents at a crime scene where he had merely touched.

This power wasn’t always advantageous for Quinlan (and Cal Kestis), as it frequently required them to shoulder the emotional and mental burden of past memories, some of which were distressing or tragic. Unlike other Jedi who could sense a person’s emotions in the present, Quinlan had the ability to perceive their feelings as they occurred in the past.
