According to the tome, a mind touch is more indicative of what the technique actually is, as the Force is, apparently, used to alter a mind by reaching out and touching it.

This simple gesture is enough to make the recipient to feel or think anything the Jedi wants, as fans have seen countless times in the past.

The technique was of course used to help Rey (Daisy Ridley) out of a bind in The Force Awakens when she was captured by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), and Obi-Wan Kenobi again in Attack of the Clones.

As The High Republic novels continue delving into the deeper parts of the Star Wars lore, will fans learn more about the nature of the mystical warriors?
