Battle meditation was a Force ability, rare among Jedi, that could be used to form connections to those around them.

During the Valo Atrocity, Porter Engle used a form of battle meditation to unite the minds of other Jedi in order to fly their starfighters in formation with him.

During the Clone Wars, Adi Gallia used battle meditation whilst in an engagement piloting her Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor alongside a V-19 Torrent starfighter over a planet. During his training on Dagobah, Luke Skywalker used battle meditation while lifting several rocks telekinetically using the Force.

Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Oppo Rancisis were skilled in battle meditation.

Behind the scenes

Battle Meditation was first mentioned in canon through the Star Wars: Legion Core Set. It later made its first appearance in the novel The High Republic: The Rising Storm as performed by Porter Engle, but Engle's actions were not outright confirmed to be a form of Battle Meditation until Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia.
