- "You're resisting. He can sense it."
"He can sense it? What is he, like a Padawan cat? Oh!"
"You don't seem to be getting this."
"I get that this furball's trying to kill me. Give me your lightsaber and I'll make the connection."
"Excuse me?" - ―Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger, as Ezra tries to tame a loth-cat
Taming beasts was an ability of the Force that allowed its user to connect mentally with a wild animal.[1] During the Battle of Geonosis, Anakin Skywalker used the Force to tame a ravenous reek in the Petranaki arena.[6] At one point during the Clone Wars, on the planet of Ryloth, Obi-Wan Kenobi used that ability to tame and control a pack of voracious gutkurrs, luring them into a trap.[5] Many years later, Ezra Bridger also used it with a dangerous fyrnock at Fort Anaxes. Bridger, however, connected with the dark side of the Force in summoning such a powerful creature and the experience left him drained. Taming a creature in such a way required letting go of one's inhibitions and opening oneself to the power of the Force.[2] Later, Bridger mastered the skill, connecting with tibidee[7] and purrgil alike.[8] Bridger however was unable to connect with the krykna of Atollon.[9]
