"The dark side of the Force can be utilized to cause great physical anguish. The Jedi squandered the Force, using it only for defense. But, for a disciple of the dark side, the Force is a weapon fueled by unbridled aggression. Through the dark side, foes can be lifted into the air, thrust against walls, or held in place to await their inexorable punishment."
―Darth Sidious[1]

Focused rage, also known as Physical Force,[1] was a dark side Force ability that temporarily increased durability in battle, as well as overall aggression and potency of one's attacks. It was utilized to great effect by Kylo Ren during the First Order-Resistance War.[2] Ren's grandfather, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, also made use of focused rage in battle. Deriving power from their inner conflict and anger, both Vader and Ren could draw power from the Force, focusing their rage to magnify their hate and maximize their fighting prowess, bolstering their aggression and durability.[2][3]
