Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Dim Other's Senses was a Force power that combined both Alter and Sense disciplines. Targets affected by this power suffered a reduction in their perception of their surroundings, allowing individuals to hide or sneak past the affected target.

The Jedi Aces held as part of their way of war that they would not use this power on the pilots they fought.

While on Ambria, a group of Sith Shadow Assassins used this power to dull Darth Bane's perceptions, nearly catching him off-guard and slaying him in their attack. Nine hundred and ninety-nine years later, Luke Skywalker used this power during starfighter combat against Thrawn's raiders over Nomad City, after the battle Luke wondered if such mind-dulling powers were perhaps at least a bit dark sided; and C'Baoth, the insane cloned Jedi Master, used this power against Luke Skywalker, keeping him too dimwitted and tried to realize his brutality and madness were not of the Jedi way, then nearly making Mara Jade go to sleep and crash her ship when she came to collect Luke.
