What would it be and why? I would have to go with the Mind Trick. Only works on the weak minded but still. Imagine what you could do with it. :twisted:

I'd be very tempted to choose Force Lightning...

but being able to use TK powers to lift, pull, etc. would also be very nice.

Mind tricks would be nice, depending on how stupid the target must be. TK would kick ass too.

Telekinesis, it seems to be the basis of a lot of "Jedi" powers.

i.e. the super speed, the TK, combat skills etc.

While i am tempted to have the voice of james Earl Jones, i must pick telekinesis because of its vast amount of uses.

Telekinesis. There are many things you can do with it, perhaps some profitable ones. Or, perhaps the super speed so I can become a star athlete. If some high school basketball player can get 90 million from Nike, just imagine how much money they'll give a high schooler that can outrun a cyclist.

The ability to crush my oppents skull with the motion from my hand. Pretty tempting :wink: However I would rather be able to enhance my Strength

TK. But lightning and mind trick are close seconds. Mind trick more so because I like the gesture.

Definately TK. I would be bitch-slapping people like nobody's business, WITH MY MIND! Oooh. So, yeah, TK.

Mind trick.

"You will give me your wallet."
"I will give you my wallet."

Pre cog. With as much sight foward as possible.

Mind Trick. By Mind Trick I mean total, unleashed control-mind power.

For starters, anyone within 1 km will be rendered incapable of killing me. Then I can take advantage of people, and wipe their memories of it. Invisibility (they can't see me). Just messing people's minds up.

Fun fun.

It's a toss-up between TK, combat sense, precog, and farsight.

TK has the obvious benefits, including an apparent strength increase. Most of its uses would be novelty, though. I won't have to worry about missing anything on TV while getting another drink.

Combat sense would rarely be used, but the times it does would be where its needed most. Seeing the immediate future and having time slow down for me means I won't get in a car accident.

Precog can help me to make the the best decisions by seeing potential outcomes. I won't have to worry about making wrong choices when I have time to prepare.

Farsight would also be pretty novelty, unless I want to use it for dishonesty. I'll never lose another game of hide-and-go seek or have to pay for a movie again.

I'd probably try to get some kind of generalized awareness sense. Something that can activate automatically like combat/danger sense, but allows for some standard pecog as well. And farsight seems to be somewhat incorporated into that, as well.

Def the mind trick powers. Way better to con and blackmail people than move stuff around. But TK is 2nd.

Hot babe -- "I will have an orgasm n---- :shock: :D"

For dreams of power and wealth, nothing beats Jedi mind powers. The more you think about what you could accomplish with the ability to read and/or manipulate minds, the more you realize how it borders on limitless influence over government and society in turn.

For combat purposes, Force TK would obviously be the best power. But that's ultimately thinking small. With Jedi mind powers, you would never need to get into combat, because you would have eventually be able to manipulate circumstances so that you have underlings, bodyguards, and eventually whole armies to do that for you.

I agree with that thought. For instance, you could try manipulating the people that decide on TK...

However, I'd probably have a few qualms about that (and manipulation in general), and would probably choose TK instead. Not that it can't be used for good purposes. "You will shut up and get a real education."....

I don't imagine myself to be some kind of genius (hell, I have trouble remembering things that happened merely a week ago), so Mind Tricks (particularly for world domination) is out. While TK is pretty awesome, you're also likely to attract too much unwanted attention too easily. So I think Pre Cog, used in ways that just seem to be almost-freaky luck, would be the way to go.

The Jedi mind trick seems to just be a usage of force induced telepathy so I'll go with just force telepathy and the various mind tricks I can pull from that.

Not to mention the potential with chicks. :twisted:

You don't have to be a genius. You just have to mind-trick a genius into helping you. :D

Which is basically nothing more then what Palatine did.

Precog/combat sense.

Though TK is up there. Make alot of money at pool halls. And I garuntee you that the bears and bulls would win the championships this year if I had it.
