Star Wars: 10 Insane Force Powers That Literally Make No Sense

This power has been seen several times in Star Wars, in both canon and legends. The Rise of Skywalker liberally used Force Heal throughout the film's runtime, first on Pasaana, where Rey used it to heal a vexis, then on the ruins of the second Death Star, after Kylo Ren was mortally stabbed, and once again by Ben Solo to save Rey on Exegol. Force Healing was not a Disney addition however, and had been used somewhat frequently under Star Wars Legends, such as in the Knights of the Old Republic games.

Even so, the power was used differently in legends than in canon. In legends, the power was used mostly to cure yourself and others, with a far lesser focus on being able to fully resurrect the dead. In canon, the power seems to only be used to prevent death, or to outright revive the dead, as seen in the Mandalorian, where Grogu uses the power on a dying Greef Karga.

Not only does this power merely get a vague explanation of transferring "Force energy [from me to him]" in The Rise of Skywalker, but it breaks Star Wars. With the introduction of this power into canon, suddenly a myriad of questions present themselves to keen-eyed Star Wars fans, such as why this power wasn't used by Obi-Wan Kenobi to save Qui-Gon Jinn after Darth Maul had mortally wounded him, and whether Luke Skywalker could have used this power to save his dying father, after Anakin Skywalker betrayed and killed his master, Palpatine.

Now that Force Healing has made its way into canon, suddenly, dead is mostly meaningless, as anyone and everyone can now be fully resurrected, as long as there is a Jedi on hand.
