Star Wars 10 Most Powerful Uses Of The Force

10. Bastila's Mass Battle Meditation (KOTOR)

Battle meditation was an ability introduced in Bioware's masterstroke, Knights Of The Old Republic. Originally a technique that only the young Jedi Bastila Shan could use, it is a force power that provides a sense of moral and inner strength to the soldiers on the user's side of a battle, and reduces those same things in their enemies.

Throughout the game you don't ever really see battle meditation in action, and it wouldn't become an active force ability until the second game. But when Bastila does whip it out, you immediately understand why the Jedi sent a girl barely into her 20's up against the most powerful Sith lord of his day. Sure is a shame that she does this while a Sith lord herself.

When Darth Malak tortuously converts Bastila to the dark side and steals away into the ancient, massive battle droid factor known as the Star Forge, the Republic launches a full scale invasion against him. However, the minute YOU land on the Star Forge, things immediately go south, as Bastila uses her battle meditation on an entire space fleet. While the folks on her side are droids and thus have no morale to increase, she saps the hell out of the Republic forces, almost winning the battle entirely before you stop her. And if you spare her (which you should Bastila is awesome) she proceeds to turn the battle right back around for the Republic.

And this is why Bastila is Bastila, and everyone else is everyone else.
