Force Sense
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Force Sense was one of the most basic Force abilities for a Jedi. It could be used to feel another being's feelings, the future, ripples in the Force caused by momentous or traumatic events, impending danger and the presence of the dark side. A more concentrated, more directed form of this ability was likely how Jedi were able to see others without relying on their physical senses. When many beings died, Jedi would often feel their deaths through the force.
