Certainly, if used with malintent, the Jedi mind trick can be assertive and damaging, all from a simple phrase and gesture. In some cases, if a Jedi is so strong, they needn't even speak a word. They could just wave their hand, and their victim could be at their beck and call.
The Force can have a powerful effect on the weak-minded, a phenomenon Jedi sometimes take advantage of in pursuing their missions. An experienced Jedi can use the Force to implant a suggestion in the minds of those they encounter, encouraging them to comply with the Jedi's wishes.
Description. A mind trick was the use of the Force to alter a target's perceptions or to plant a suggestion in their mind. It usually worked on the weak-minded. There were some species that were particularly resistant to mind tricks, such as Hutts, Toydarians, Falleen, Geonosians, and Dashade.
The mind trick was said to work only on the weak-minded, and there were certain species, including Toydarians, Geonosians, and Hutts, that were either highly resistant or immune to it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Anakin Skywalker once interrogated legendary bounty hunter Cad Bane in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Failing in getting any answers from Bane, the three Jedi used their Force mind powers to look insidethe hunter's mind and make him reveal where he had placed a stolen Jedi Holocron.
The Jedi council would probably be 125 and up, with Yoda the highest at about 145–160, and Windu 135–150. Dooku about 140–150, too. Palpatine/Sidious would have the highest of all. Probably at least 170.
Usually, Jedi employed telepathy only to read the states of minds or engage in silent communication. Eye contact, in part, allowed a user to have less difficulty in focusing on a target's thoughts.
If a Dark Jedi or Sith Lord was being beaten and frustrated by his foe, he might let out an enraged scream (amplified through the Force) that triggered shock waves that rippled through the Force.
The Jedi mind trick is an iconic power in the Star Wars franchise, but while Jedi use the ethically-dubious power sparingly, Sith Lords like Darth Vader employ the ability unscrupulously.
So, unlike the Jedi's use of the ability, the Sith use it to command people rather than just plant simple suggestions in their minds. And the restriction of a Jedi mind trick not outright controlling the target appears to be a choice.
Estala Maru, a Jedi Master and the head of operations on the space station Starlight Beacon, frequently used levitation while coordinating and monitoring the station's numerous tasks and departments.
Jedi Mind Tricks only work on the Weak Minded. It doesn't work for Strong Minded nor other aliens with Non-Weak Minded like the Hutts and Toydarians (Watto's species) for example.
In 2011 Stoupe left the group because "his heart wasn't in making JMT records anymore". In 2013, Jus split from the group indefinitely, and Stoupe returned in 2015. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. U.S.
The Force enhanced physical qualities such as strength, stamina, and agility. Fast reflexes were the more immediate effects of a Force-sensitive's precognitive senses; even without formal training, an untrained child was capable of developing Jedi-like traits.
The Jedi Generals Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Aayla Secura, were all known to use the Force to enhance their speed in battle. Anakin Skywalker's Padawan Ahsoka Tano was also capable of this technique, using it to outrun podracer Kidd Kareen in a foot race across a bridge on the planet Mon Gazza.
One power Vader was shown to be especially adept at was Force crush. One way in which Vader has been shown to use this is the same way other Star Wars Force users have done so, by crushing inorganic material.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.
Darth Vader uses a Force push to throw Chelli Lona Aphra back and remove the Spark Eternal from her body. Force push was used to repel objects or people, moving them away from the user.
Technically, yes. The Jedi have been shown to block bullets, but due to their small size and large quantity, they are far more difficult to block than a standard blaster. In Star Wars we see blaster fire is slow and easily repelled with a lightsaber.
In some cases, such as those of Fionah Ti, Vaner Shan and Theron Shan, children of Jedi and other Force-sensitives were incapable of using the Force, a rare and unexplained phenomenon that occurred in random generations.
That made sense because all of the Jedi that used a Force choke did so when they were afraid, angry or desperate. It was simply too easy of a path to reaching the dark side, so the Jedi consciously chose to avoid using the Force to choke their adversaries.
Tsui Choi wisely urged patience, knowing the time for the Empire's downfall would come, unlike Jedi consumed by thoughts of revenge. Yoda's responsibility as Grand Master clouded his foresight upon the Jedi Order's fall, making Master Tsui Choi arguably the smartest Jedi in Star Wars lore.
Deeply spiritual, Chirrut Îmwe believes all living things are connected through the Force. His sightless eyes do not prevent him from being a highly skilled warrior.
Tl:dr - We know Jedi can leap great distances (as demonstrated by Luke in ESB, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in TPM, and Sidious and Yoda in ROTS), but can't actually 'fly', presumably because the effort in maintaining persistent flight over a long distance would be too great.
