Force Cloak
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Force Cloak, also known as Force Camouflage, was, unsurprisingly, a rarely seen Force ability.
Force users with this rare ability could use the Force to photokinetically bend light around themselves, rendering them invisible to others. Since it physically bent light like a cloaking device, this power could be used to hide from beings such as droids and the Yuuzhan Vong, beings normally immune to Force-based illusions.[source?]
An alternative form of the Force Cloak ability hid the user by affecting the minds of those around them in a way similar to the Jedi Mind Trick or Force Persuasion. The user could remove all traces of their presence from the mind of observers and move completely unnoticed while in plain sight. Because this form of the Force Cloak ability relied on the user's power to affect the mind of the observer, it was ineffective against droids or larger groups of observers/opponents.
Juhani seemed to have a natural talent for this skill, though she much preferred to stand against an enemy than hide from them. It was also a favored technique of Kreia, who saw perception as but another tool for manipulation. By controlling the perception of others by hiding her presence, she would sometimes hide among friend and foe alike. The former Nightsister Lomi Plo utilized a unique form of the power during the Dark Nest Crisis, using other's doubts and fears to mask herself from view.
