Force-bond

A Force-bond, also known as a Force connection or simply a bond, was a powerful connection that existed between two Force-sensitive individuals. At times, the Force allowed a living being to connect and communicate with another across great distances. On rare occasions, such a bond was even capable of being used to teleport matter. Despite its advantages, a bond could be manipulated by those using the dark side of the Force. A strong Force user had the power to initiate secret bonds with others in order to manipulate them. Even if the unwanted bond was detected, it could still be extremely difficult to break.

During the Clone Wars, the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus performed a dark ritual targeting Grand Master Yoda of the Jedi Order. As a result, the bond that once existed between Tyranus and his former mentor was restored but it broke again because Yoda's will proved too strong for the Sith to break. After the Galactic Empire rose to power, Padawan Ezra Bridger became psychically linked to the former Sith Lord Maul, a side effect of the fusion between a Jedi holocron and a Sith holocron. Bridger consequently experienced a series of aural hallucinations and visions that lasted until Maul's death.

A unique bond existed between the dark warrior Kylo Ren and the Jakku scavenger Rey during the First Order-Resistance War. As the maternal grandson of Darth Vader and the paternal granddaughter of Darth Sidious respectively, both Ren and Rey formed a prophesied Force dyad. Due to their innate connection, they were able to communicate with each other across light-years. After the death of Supreme Leader Snoke, Ren and Rey fought as one against the Elite Praetorian Guard, causing their powers to become amplified as the bond between them grew stronger with every passing moment.
