Force Dash, alternatively referred to as Force Speed, represented an ability within the Force that granted the user the capacity to enhance their velocity for a short time. As a result of the heightened pace, the Force-user experienced a perception shift, observing the surrounding environment and its inhabitants in a decelerated manner. This facilitated effortless evasion of assaults and accelerated, more precise offensive maneuvers. Despite its potency in concentrated bursts, excessive utilization of this power could lead to a rapid depletion of the Force-user's energy reserves for a short time. Adept practitioners of Force Dash could momentarily traverse vertical surfaces, a skill demonstrated by Jedi such as Cal Kestis and Jocasta Nu.
While situated aboard the Trade Federation starship known as Saak'ak, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn alongside his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi employed Force Dash as a means of evading droidekas. Kenobi also leveraged Force Speed to shorten his reaction time, a skill he used to quickly assess a situation and briefly escape capture while undergoing business on Cato Neimoidia. Darth Sidious, a Dark Lord of the Sith, also possessed the capability to harness Force Dash. The Second Sister was able to accelerate to greater speeds, allowing her to evade incoming blaster fire. Luke Skywalker made use of Force Speed during his training on Dagobah, and later to cut through Boba Fett’s blaster carbine with his lightsaber.
