Question: what are jedi mind tricks star wars?
Answer: Obi-Wan Kenobi in "A New Hope" explained it as, "The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded." With a mind trick, a Jedi can implant a suggestion in some else's mind and have them do as the Jedi wishes, often avoiding a potentially violent confrontation. It's also known as "affect mind" or "alter mind."
