Force Enrage,^[2] also known as Dark rage,^[1] was a dark side Force ability.^[1] The Force-user would tap into their innermost fears, pain and hate, and convert them into an intense rage. The user could then channel the anger to increase their own strength, speed, agility, endurance, stamina and ferocity. However, the body could not handle such rage for long periods of time, so the user became greatly weakened for some time after the rage subsided. If light side Force-users wielded Force rage, it could disrupt their connection to the light side unless something happened to interrupt the rage and bring them out of the dark side's grip. Therefore, the rage could give the wielder an instantaneous physical and mental response, but pull them into deep depression, physiological harm and the endless void of the dark side.

Users[]

Very few Jedi were capable of using and mastering Force rage without falling to the dark side. One of the few examples is Jaden Korr.

In 40 ABY, Luke Skywalker used the power of dark side rage against Darth Caedus. While this increased the potenital amount of harm he could do to the Sith, it also made him focus more on vengeance by causing pain rather than simply slaying Caedus and ridding the galaxy of the Baneite Sith.^[3]

Behind the scenes[]

Users of Force Rage also experience a moment of exhaustion, slowing the player's movement and attack.
