10 Scariest Uses Of Force Power In Star Wars History
6. Sith Thought Bomb Destroys An Entire Planet
The Sith Thought Bomb was a weapon of last resort, one so powerful that it could only be created by a combined group of strong Dark Side users.
It was a shimmery silver orb that, when detonated, sent a wave of Force energy outward from itself. The wave destroyed everything in its path in a most unpleasant way and stripped the souls from any Force-sensitive creatures in the area. To make things worse, the lost souls would be trapped at the spot where bomb detonated, causing a rift in the Force to forever exist there.
A Thought Bomb was most notably used by Sith Lord Kaan to kill hundreds of Jedi Knights, the Sith Brotherhood, and himself in a last stand. That he was destroying his own army didn't matter to him, as long as the hated Jedi died.
The use of the bomb left the planet Ruusan a desert wasteland, forever haunted by hundreds of Force users whose souls were doomed to a millennium of purgatory.
In a somewhat happy ending, five years after the Battle of Yavin, Rebel agent Kyle Katarn freed the Jedi trapped in the Thought Bomb, allowing them to pass into death as Force ghosts.
