- "He moved so fast… Where did he go?"
"Up." - ―Mother Pran and Anakin Skywalker, on Obi-Wan Kenobi
Force jump,[1] also known as a Force Leap,[3] was an ability of the Force that allowed its user to leap huge distances.[1] Some untrained Force-sensitives, including Ezra Bridger and Leia Organa, were able to instinctively perform the feat despite their lack of training or knowledge of their Force powers.[4][5] Moreover, Force-users could use this Force-falling power to endure great falls and decent.[6][7]
This power was helpful for Jedi to learn since they fell off things frequently. During the High Republic one form of Jedi training was flinging a student off a cliff to impel the Padawan to lean the technique.[6]
The Jedi Tarados Gon, Nicanas Tassu, and Kanan Jarrus were all noted users of the Force jump.[8] When Luke Skywalker dueled his estranged father Darth Vader on Cloud City, he made use of the ability to escape from the carbon-freeze chamber.[9] The action made him feel like the air itself was moving him. Skywalker's jump was as high and fast as those of Gon, Tassu, and Jarrus.[8]
