What are the limits of the force?

I always wondered why force users, especially advanced ones cannot fly.

They can float around if they want, but leaping is faster.

But flying the way Superman does is beyond their ability.

Maybe not like superman, but at least some sort of flying.

There is an ability called force flight which is a branch of telekinesis, and many force wielders have displayed it.

Indeed, Dooku flew in the miniseries,

Anyway, the answer is: whatever the author at the time wants. You can have Darth Vader being capable of little more than choking muggles, or Palpatine being capable of tearing holes in the fabric of space time creating hyperspace wormholes that can kill worlds.

It's not really consistent.

Pretty much.

I wish there was more consistency.

Including one of Jerec's minions, Maw, who could literally fly.

Is this in the books, if so which one?

It is assumed that the Cosmic Force have no limits. However, Force-users have a (biological) cap vis-a-vis Force-sensitivity. Still, powerful Force-users can do wonders with advanced understanding of the Force.

Some Force-users managed to defy their biological limitations and can actually compete with some Marvel characters. Examples include Darth Sidious (Legends), Valkorion and Darth Nihilus.

Darth Sidious (Legends) and Valkorion became entities. However, Darth Nihilus was in the middle-ground (I perceive him as an anomaly).

Other then the aforementioned, there are some other super-strong entities in Star Wars who can do crazy stuff.

Some Force-users could traverse space and cover vast distances ; like move from one planet to another. They are entities (more or less).

Some mastered teleportation and could teleport from one location to another (even from one planet to another) while retaining their corporeal form.

That is pretty badass

Here.



And then there's this other quote from one of the Dark Forces Saga articles stating Maw perfected Force Flight.

Thanks for that, especially the second part.

Kaox Krul and Crian Maru could fly as well.

Wrong section.
