Legends

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

Force Sustenance was a Force power used to replace normal needed intakes for life that was employed by the cloistered Mind Walkers and others.

Darth Bane used this power to no longer have to eat food, instead using his deep connection to the dark side to sustain himself. A thousand years later, Luke Skywalker would learn a similar way of using the Force by the time he became a Jedi Master.

It allowed users to sustain themselves with nothing but the essence of the Force. The forsaking Jedi Knight Qwallo Mode used this technique to fire a missile launcher at the Jade Shadow, without wearing a helmet, while floating in the vacuum of space. The technique's power could be amplified through the exercises of Mind Walking, as evidenced by Rhondi and Rolund Tremaine's combined usage of these Force powers.
