Sense Force

Sense Force, also known as See Force or in traditional High Galactic as tactus otium,[2] was a Sense-based Force power. It allowed an individual to sense the ambient Force in a given area. It could not be used to detect sentient beings, but allowed an individual to sense the magnitude of Force in an area or object, and even if that Force was aligned with the dark side of the Force, or the light.

Practice

To practice and hone this ability, Padawans of the Jedi Order had to relax their perceptions so that everything surrounding them becomes a blur. With a lot of patience and practice, the Force would reveal itself and let the practitioner see an area's Force signature and revealing whether it is sickly, beneficial or malevolent.[2]

In some places where the dark side of the Force is quite strong, this sense provides the Force-sensitive with a bit of a warning before approaching the site.[2]

Examples

During his Jedi training on the swamp-planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker used this Sense-based Force power when approaching the Dark Side Cave on Dagobah. He later commented on it in the The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.[2]

Being guided by the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, Master Yoda also came across the Dark Side Cave where he had a vision of the future Great Jedi Purge and an illusion of Darth Sidious telling him to join him.[3]

Qui-Gon Jinn has been practicing this ability on Coruscant and appeared amazed by the amount of life at the planet.[2]
