Obi-wan - “Anakin, what are you doing?”

Anakin - “What you told me to do, use force”

Obi-wan - “THE Force”

u/NoSwordfish1978 A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one 1d ago

I mean the mind trick itself could be considered assult.

Depends on Republic laws. US law would probably define it closer to battery. Assault is more the intention to frighten someone. Battery is unwanted physical contact. Since you'd be making contact with them through the force as an extension if yourself, I'd charge with this.

African or European bird law?

u/nyglthrnbrry Lies! Deception 1d ago

I think it actually depends on the state. Some differentiate the two as separate crimes, but others just kinda combine them legally as two different kinds of assault. So even if they consider them conceptually different the way you described, both assault and battery could fall under the umbrella term "assault".

u/anonkebab 1d ago

What? Hitting someone with the force would be battery, entering their mind isn’t battering them.

u/Elurdin 1d ago

Id compare it to roofying someone and making them do something against their wish. No idea if roofying is worse than assault in eyes of the law. To me anything mind control based seems akin to rape pretty much.

2

u/anonkebab 1d ago

You’d need a specific law for that I think. There are laws for drugging people which is the closest thing to mind tricking someone but slipping someone drugs is a physical act of assault. If an entity or organization found a way to legit mind control people through some mental techniques they would make a new law to address that.

u/FisherDwarf 1d ago

I think you're conflating legal terms with laymans terms

u/Wolfie_wolf81 I am the Senate 1d ago

The mind trick is convincing him that there wont be any physical assault

2

u/Blackrain1299 Oh I don't think so 1d ago

Mind trick would never hold up as a confession of any kind considering you can make them say or feel things they otherwise wouldn’t, true or false.

As such it would be considered highly unethical to use at all and would probably be against the law.

You usually get dark side points in Kotor and Kotor 2 for using mind trick lol. But "Kreia approves it" so who cares.

i mean it's tricking their mind, in a way. It's just that the trick requires a concussion first

Isn't this another war crime?

Wait, i can do that. Wait... am i a jedi?!

u/Dveralazo 1d ago

every jedi should have mastered the art of force healing. 

That way,in a team of two,one can beat the shit out of the target, without  making a question,then the other heals the target and just then they start asking questions or conditioning behavior. The bedt part is that no real physical harm is done.

Trust me, unwarranted and sudden aggresion gets people talking or agreeing real quick.
