I always figured those were all examples of telekenetic abilty applied
in the appropriate manner. Similarly, a lot of thier abilties are based on
sensing (including the telekenetic ones- can't do much moving to things you
don't understand). I guess you could break them down into lots of little
catagories, but I doubt that is how they are taught; I've never read any
Starwars novels or nothing, but I just can't see them teaching "the flip
force", "the run force", "the lifting force", etc.
<Miyamoto Mussashi>When you must move an object or yourself, it is only
necessary to let it do so, using the force. This is the way of Jedi. There
is little more that can be said on this subject; one must study
diligently."</MM> [Man, talk about the worlds most famous book of vauge
