Force Crush



Force Crush was possibly the darkest Force ability known to both the Jedi and the Sith. It was a more devastating form of the Force Grip ability.

This deadly ability lifted the opponent into the air, and as he/she was floating, his/her body literally imploded as it was crushed from within by the Force.

Common among followers of the dark side, by 3951 BBY many Force users (even Jedi) could use the ability.

During the latter part of the Clone Wars, Mace Windu used Force Crush on General Grievous as Grievous was attempting to capture Palpatine, thus crushing one of the few organs he had left: his lungs. This was in part responsible for his constant choking and coughing throughout the rest of his life. His lungs could be repaired with surgery, but he didn't live long enough to get it.

Darth Vader, who would not hesitate to use Force Crush and similar techniques on Imperial personnel that he deemed incompetent, might possibly even have been able to Force Crush entire light class vehicles on the battlefield.



Although the Halcyon family is usually deficient in telekinesis, Nejaa Halcyon was able to employ Force Crush against Nikkos Tyris after absorbing the energy from the Anzat’s lightsaber.
