ForcePull-Convergence — Kylo Ren pulls Dopheld Mitaka across the room with the Force

Dopheld Mitaka was a human male who was a member of the First Order. He graduated at the top of his Academy class and earned a prestigious placement aboard the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer about thirty years after the Battle of Endor.^[3] Mitaka took part in an operation to capture a BB-series astromech droid called BB-8, who was carrying the fragment of a map containing the location of the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. After BB-8 escaped Jakku with the former stormtrooper FN-2187 and the scavenger Rey aboard the Millennium Falcon, Mitaka informed Kylo Ren about FN-2187's role in the droid's escape.^[4]

In a fit of rage, Kylo Ren destroyed a nearby computer terminal with his lightsaber, with Mitaka bracing himself beforehand, initially thinking Ren was going to lash out at him. When he had calmed down enough to inquire if there was anything else in the report, Mitaka then informed him about Rey's involvement. Ren then used the Force to pull Mitaka towards him and grabbed him around the neck. He then demanded to know more information about the girl.^[4]
