You have the same Force powers as the original Starkiller. In fact, you even have Force powers that he didn’t! Read on to learn more about all of your Force powers and how to use them more effectively.
Force Dash
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Dash | LB | L1 |
Force Dash isn’t a typical attack. In fact, it doesn’t have to be used as an attack—it’s also a very handy way of covering a lot of distance in a short time. However, you can use Force Dash to barrel through small groups of enemies!
Force Lightning
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Force Lightning |
Y

This is one of your most powerful Force powers. You use Force Lightning to power many other attacks, such as infusing saber strikes, creating Lightning projectiles, and charging objects to create explosives. It’s also a very powerful weapon.
At lower levels, it can stun most enemies and electrocute weaker stormtroopers. When upgraded, it can bring down even large war droids with sustained Lightning blasts.
Force Push
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Force Push | B |
O
|
Force Push is one of the most effective powers against all enemies. Use Force Push to bully foes around and shove them off ledges and high platforms. You can also add Force Push to the end of saber combos to blast enemies away.
In addition, Force Push is necessary for bringing down large obstacles, blowing down doors, and moving objects out of the way quickly.
Force Grip
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Force Grip | RT |
R2
|
| Move gripped object | Left and right thumbsticks | Left and right thumbsticks |
| Throw | Hold RT, move object toward target, then release | Hold R2, move object toward target, then release |
Very few enemies have a suitable defense against Force Grip. Once they’re in your grip, they are helpless and at your mercy. You can move enemies and items around or even toss them aside.
Force Grip enemies and hurl them over ledges or into lethal objects such as flame jets, fans, and explosive objects. Force Grip is also useful in moving objects, opening doors, and grabbing enemy vehicles like TIE fighters.
Saber Throw
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Saber Throw |
Hold LT, then press X
|
Hold L2, then press ■ |
Saber Throw is a great power that can dish out decent damage from afar. Many enemies, such as war droids, are far too dangerous to take on hand-to-hand. When in combat with these large clunkers, keep your distance and use Saber Throw to slice them from afar.
Saber Throw is a great ranged attack, but keep in mind that while your lightsabers are in the air, you are defenseless to blaster fire and other enemy attacks. You can also use Saber Throw to solve environmental puzzles and chop down structures.
Force Repulse
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Repulse | Hold RT, Then press B |
Hold L2, then press O
|
Force Repulse isn’t just another Force attack—it can also be used as a defensive maneuver against enemies. Charge Force Repulse to gather your Force Energy around you like a bubble, then release it to cause a Force explosion that radiates 360 degrees around you.
While it may not immediately destroy most enemies (though it is very effective against lower-level enemies like terror spider droids), it is very useful in repelling foes as they surround you.
Mind Trick
| Action | Xbox 360 | PS3 |
|---|---|---|
| Mind Trick |
Hold LT, then press Y
|
Hold L2, Then press O
|
Mind Trick is one of your sneakiest skills. It allows you to fool your enemies into thinking what you what them to think. In some cases you can convince them that life is not worth living so they’ll throw themselves over a ledge. In other cases you can convince enemies to turn on their comrades, turning them into temporary allies.
This skill is especially useful when facing several different types of foes at once. Use it to turn a few strong enemies on weaker ones, or use it to turn many weak enemies on a few stronger ones.
