Star Wars Chat Pack: What one Force ability would you choose and why?

All/Other, Sequel Trilogy 1 Minute

First of all, Happy New Year friends! With the new year, I have a slew of new plans, goals, and ideas, including post ideas for the blog. I’ll be blogging more and testing these ideas out, so stay tuned.

I thought I’d start with going back to the Star Wars Chat Pack and do a question once a month, just because it’s fun. Today’s question is: What one Force ability would you choose and why?

Hands down, my choice would be Force Healing. Maybe not as cool or sexy as lightsaber skills or telekinesis, but I can’t think of anything more satisfying than being able to heal someone’s injuries or illness or take away their pain. I think it’s a rare ability, but it would certainly be a valuable one.

Rey had healed a vexis, a monster snake in TROS. It’s a bit of foreshadowing, as she calls Kylo Ren a “snake” and then heals him later in the film as well.

I feel like we don’t see too many examples of this ability before Rey in the Sequel trilogy. Maybe in Clone Wars or some Legends books here and there, but when I saw Rey heal that big snake, I thought, Wow, Jedi can do that? Now we see Grogu with the ability. But it makes total sense. The Force is life energy itself. Why shouldn’t someone who can influence the Force be able to transfer some to an injured or sick being?

There’s nothing worse than watching someone you love (or just anybody, really) suffer in pain and not be able to do anything about it. So that’s why I’d choose Force Healing as my Jedi ability.

What about you? What one Force ability would you choose? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!

  1. It’s a hard choice, and your pick is honestly is the most altruistic. I seem to remember a sttory somewhere in Legends wherer a Jedi was denied their connection to the Force and they felt physically weaker, so I assume that they must get some level of force-imbued extra strength that helps them with Force speed and their huge jumping, so I’d pick that

  2. For me, it would be the sensory elements — read other people’s intentions and perhaps even anticipate their actions. It’s sort of the biggest ability the Force gets in dealing with other people, and as a person who isn’t always all that good at reading people, I don’t know that I could imagine anything better.

    Sure, being able to Force choke people who irk me would be nice, too, but I wouldn’t be able to use that more than about once before I’d hate myself for thinking about it.

    1. Good choice, though I’d like to think I can read people pretty well. I can see where it would come in handy for others. Yeah, the Force choke would be so satisfying in the short term, but not so much long term, lol. That’s the dark side for you.
