• For the 1994 thriller film, see The Force.
• If you're looking for the Applied Phlebotinum that's central to the Star Wars universe, we have several tropes that might fit:
  • The general trope for stuff that allows funky stuff to happen is Applied Phlebotinum.
  • An energy field that can be tapped into to do magic is a Background Magic Field.
  • If the Background Magic Field also has a will of its own, that's a Sentient Cosmic Force.
  • Moving things with your mind is Telekinesis.
  • The Jedi Mind Trick (manipulating the minds of the Weak Willed) has its own trope.
  • "Force Lightning", using The Force to shoot lightning out of your hands, is a form of Shock and Awe and a type of Agony Beam.
  • The idea of having a Dark Side and a Light Side is mostly covered by Balance Between Good and Evil.
