Plant Surge

Plant Surge was a light side Force power that was based around the channeling of life energy into plants, allowing the user to improve the plant's rate of growth and even affect the manner in which it grows. In battle, the ability to control a plant's growth could be used to cause plants to grow with incredible speed directly under the user's control, causing plant life to grow and twist around opponents, ensnaring anyone who wasn't quick enough to avoid it. Once ensnared, the victim would find it difficult to dodge and fight, and nearly impossible to move unless they escaped through force or finesse (such a feat was by no means easy for most).



The long-term effects of this sudden growth on plants were unknown, though smaller and more controlled applications of this power could be used in day-to-day gardening, nurturing the growth of strong and healthy plants. This power was rarely seen among Jedi, though it was common among Force-Sensitive Ithorian ecology priests who could use this power to tend to their trees or as a non-violent means of stopping a foe.

Though the most common use of this ability was to ensnare foes, when one considers the enormous variety of plant life found in the galaxy, it is possible that the ability to alter and control the growth of plants could be used for even more creative means by a clever wielder.

The Dark Woman used this power on Cophrigin 5 to restrain Darth Vader in order to strike him down. Unfortunately for her, Vader proved too difficult to contain, and cut himself free in order to kill her.

Twi'lek Jedi Shado Vao used this technique against Cade Skywalker on Ossus.

The Sith Darth Maladi used a dark side-tainted form of this power to greatly accelerate the growth of Yuuzhan Vong coral seeds implanted in Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue.

Jedi knight Valek Ardess used this move when he killed all the australian sith because they epicly spammed him.
