Force empathy

Force Empathy was a Force power related to Force Sense, but involving picking up impressions and traces of information about the object touched and the events that have surrounded it. The Kiffar were able to use this power, and, particularly, Quinlan Vos was skilled with its use.

Master Yoda exhibited force empathy during the Battle of Geonosis while sensing the tension between Obi-Wan and Anakin during their pursuit of Count Dooku. The argument between the two resulted from Padmé's fall from an LAAT gunship. After experiencing the situation from afar, Master Yoda decided to intervene.

Years later, Luke's infant son, Ben Skywalker was able to use force empathy and as a result Ben shyed away from the Force.
