Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi heavily expounded on a lesser-known dark side Force ability that Luke Skywalker made use of. Anyone who is Force-sensitive has the ability to feel others’ thoughts and emotions on the surface level. And they also have the ability to interact and suggest ideas within weaker minds, which Obi-Wan Kenobi explains to Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. This is commonly known as a Jedi mind trick and is usually exercised as a last resort for the peacekeepers in tight situations. But the ability to sense and interact with others’ thoughts can also lean into some dangerous dark side abilities.
