Force jump

Force jump, or Force Leap, was an ability of the Force that allowed a Force-sensitive to perform an extended leap across extensive distances. Some untrained Force-sensitives, including Ezra Bridger and Leia Organa, instinctively demonstrated this skill despite their lack of training or knowledge of their Force powers. Moreover, Force-users could use this Force-falling power to endure great falls and decent.

The feat was helpful for Jedi to emply since they may frequently fall off surfaces. During the High Republic one form of Jedi training was flinging a student off a cliff to impel the Padawan to learn the technique.

The Jedi Tarados Gon, Nicanas Tassu, and Kanan Jarrus were all noted users of the Force jump. When Luke Skywalker dueled his estranged father Darth Vader on Cloud City, he made use of the ability to escape from the carbon-freeze chamber. The action made him feel like the air itself was moving him. Skywalker's jump was as high and fast as those of Gon, Tassu, and Jarrus.
