Force Jump
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "Impressive... most impressive."
- ―Darth Vader regarding Luke Skywalker during the Duel on Cloud City[src]
Force Jump used the Force to augment the user's natural leaping ability. Force users adept in this technique could perform awe-inspiring vertical/horizontal leaps with impunity. The user could leap tremendous distances when combining this technique with that of Force Speed.
Force Jumps were most widely employed during lightsaber battles. This ability was essential for practitioners of Form IV lightsaber combat, like Yoda and Darth Sidious.
[edit] Behind the scenes
In Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, the player suffers from damage when jumping high and then falls again in the ground (for example, whenever he fails to reach the high step he intended to climb), like if falling from a high level. However, in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast this is not the case, signifying that the user performing the jump also had some immunity of gravity while using this power.
In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the Jedi Guardian class has a special ability, Force Jump, which allows users to attack an enemy from afar instantly by jumping, plus bonus roll at high level.
