Force Wave



Force Wave is one of the most powerful forms of Force Push. It was more widespread, like a wave, hence the name, and could push multiple opponents at once. It was very useful in tight, cramped quarters when the Jedi needed room to move, since Jedi could damage their opponents by pushing them into the walls. It could also be used as "crowd control," when overwhelming numbers of enemies immediately swarm towards the user. Using Force Wave gives the Jedi time to rethink their strategy and cast more Force powers, or they could also attack fallen opponents as they are stunned. Mace Windu and Yoda used this power against Super Battle Droids during the Second Battle of Coruscant. Mace also used this power when he lost his lightsaber on Dantooine in Clone Wars.

It is similar in function to Force Repulse, although it is unclear which of the two is more powerful.

Behind the Scenes

 * Force Wave can also be used to destroy an entire droid squadron like Mace Windu showed in the Battle of Dantooine when he was without his lightsaber.
 * Darth Vader seems to use a very powerful Force Wave in the computer game Star Wars: Empire at War, not only pushing enemies at a great distance but also kills them.
