Force Dash

Force Dash, alternatively called Force Speed, represented a Force ability that granted the user enhanced velocity for a short time period. The augmented speed provided to the Force-user allowed them to perceive the world and surrounding entities in what seemed like slow motion, making it easier to evade attacks and strike with greater speed and precision. Despite its power in quick bursts, excessive use of this ability could rapidly deplete the Force-user's energy reserves for a short time. With enough mastery of Force Dash, practitioners could briefly traverse vertical surfaces, a skill demonstrated by Jedi such as Cal Kestis and Jocasta Nu.

During their time on the Trade Federation starship named Saak'ak, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi employed Force Dash to evade droidekas. Kenobi also possessed the ability to use Force Speed to enhance his reaction speed, a skill he utilized to quickly analyze a situation and briefly avoid capture while conducting business on Cato Neimoidia. Darth Sidious, a Dark Lord of the Sith, also had the capability to use Force Dash. The Second Sister was able to move at increased speeds, allowing her to evade incoming blaster fire. Luke Skywalker used Force Speed while training on Dagobah, and later to cleave through Boba Fett’s blaster carbine using his lightsaber.
