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

Possession was an ability where a spirit, usually a malevolent one, took over a living being's body and directed their actions.

Vitiate demonstrated the ability to share his essence with many individuals, transforming them into extensions of his will (known as Children of the Emperor) and embedded these individuals within the enemy ranks to serve as his eyes and ears on a galactic scale. In addition, during the Ziost massacre he was able to possess nearly all sentient lifeforms on the planet.

Mother Talzin Proved being able to use this ability when she possessed Dooku to fight Darth Sidious, though Sidious remarked that even if she had possessed Dooku's body she lacked all of his skill, Talzin was defeated easily.

Marka Ragnos possessed Tavion Axmis in 14 ABY in his bid to return to the material world. While possessing Axmis, he was able to use his powers through her.
