The more obscure Force powers in the EU?

What are some of the more obscure and powerful Force powers in the EU? I am specifically curious as to what powers Exar Kun had and what Kun's limits were.

Well he wiped out the entire Massassi population of Yavin 4 to preserve his "essence" in the place (with limited powers still) for thousands of years.

Just go find 'Power of the Darkside' and look up Exar Kun, he's all in there

I always like the force storms that Palpatine could muster whenever he wanted.

This was a variant of the Transfer Essence (WOTC)/Life Transfer (WEG) Force skill; by draining the life-essences of many minions, a darksider can bind his spirit to an inanimate object or location. Palpatine used the regular version to transfer his spirit to a mindless clone body each time he died. Callista used this on the voluntary Cray Mingla (spl?) who chose to remain with her lover Nichos aboard the Imperial battlemoon Eye of Palpatine to escape imprisionment in the Eye's computer core.

Reportedly, one jedi could walk through walls
(and no, I'm not referring to the kids walking through the force field in the Corellia Trilogy)

Also, the monks in the 'Hand of thrawn' duology can teleport objects, and by implication people

That power was great. He could also create worm holes too.

What was the Crystal Star all about? I have blocked that stupid pile of shit from my memory retention, but wasn't it about opening a 'porta' to another plane using the Force?

A creture from another Universe come to to feast off of people strong in an energy source it liked, the Force.

Just bad in so many, many ways.

Well wouldn't it feel like an arse? I mean coming into the SW Galaxy after the Great Jedi Purge trimmed down all the Force users to a handfull of people!

Fucking hack writers.

Vergere knew how to manipulate substances at the atomic level to create any kind of poison or cure she wanted. This technique was eventually passed on to Jedi healers.

The Dark Side skill Doppelgänger. I mean...cool.

We know the Emperor, and Luke Skywalker both knew this skill. It is probable that Dooku did as well (to explain his "death" in the GBA The New Droid Army game).

Could a Jedi or Sith use the force to tear a person inside out? Since they can manipulate the force I was wondering if they could be able to do someting like this. Or make something implode or explode at will?

Application of telekinesis. The Bpfasshi Dark Jedi Master recalled by former criminal Jorj Car'das in The Hand of Thrawn: Vision of the Future used the Dark Side to physically tear one of his late crewmates into shreds of gore and offal.

Getzerion used her force-powers in CoPL to play havoc with Han´s teeth.

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-02-28 06:13pm

another force power that seems to be fairly rare is one nomi sunrider (i don't recall the name exactly, she used this on ulic qel droma), displayed that effectively blinds force users to the force itself, rending them unable to use any force abilities whatsoever.

She also used this fine TK to cause Luke to have a brain hemorage.

Luke then used the force to repair the damage to his brain.

If I remember correctly, the Jedi council used this to blind people forever to the force, when they were thrown out of the order.

Nope. The Force Witch gave him a cerebral hemorrage. As Luke was dying he remembered Yoda saying all things created the force, at this point he sees the force as an aura arround the wildlofe arround him and he drawns on this to repair the damage done to him.

It was more than that. She was going to systematically and slowly do all the damage to Han that his thermal detonator would have done to her, and she was starting with the bones. In order to distract her from the Falcon flying up behind her, Han said the first thing that came to mind, and it was "You're not going to do this to the teeth, are you?" Man, what a moron.

Han cursed himself for giveing her nifty Ideas you know.

Depending on how you interpret the gameplay, Kyle Katarn may have known a limited version of this skill. He was able to create an illusion of himself, but it didn't do much, and only served as a tactical distraction rather than a full-blown doppelgänger.

I know a lot of people would scream "game mechanics!" at that, especially since people think Katarn is too wanky, but I think we can attribute this power to him (keep in mind, it's a very limited application of the power; this doesn't make him some kind of god).

Him having this power is especially unobjectionable because the only time he is known to have had it is during his time delving into the dark side while training Mara Jade (Mysteries of the Sith). This is when he was at the peak of his power; after almost falling completely to the dark side there, he gave up the Force almost entirely for a while, only to pick it up again at the urging of Luke Skywalker (Jedi Outcast). He's never been as powerful again, and I think this is due to his personal restraint, out of fear of falling to the dark side.

I just thought of one of the force occurences in the EU that bothered the heck out of me. When the trainnees at Luke's Jedi academy were able to push back 17 (?) ISDs (Darksaber). It always bothered me

A cool power I thought of is to superheat someones body, and cause them to explode (blood vapourizing and expanding, skin popping, etc). I'm going to use this power in my fanfic.
