A Force punch was an application of the Force where the user would augment their striking strength, in the form of a punch or blow in close hand to hand combat. Vestara Khai while fighting the red-haired female assistant of High Lord Ivaar Workan; grabbed her by the chin and used a Force punch to the throat to kill her in 44 ABY, and later Saba Sebatyne delivered a Force-enhanced double punch to an avatar of Abeloth, striking her in the mouth and through both sets of her fangs shortly before killing her. Mace Windu was a master of this ability, using lightning fast jabs to decimate an army of Battle droids during the Battle of Dantooine, and punching apart war robots while defending Coruscant. Darth Plagueis during his fight against Maladian assassins used Force-enhanced blows to snap necks, smash skulls and windpipes, and plunge his fists through armored torsos in blinding motion.
Cade Skywalker used this power in 138 ABY against a Zabrak thug.
