Card Text

Cancel one Effect (or Utinni Effect) by drawing a destiny < ability of your highest-ability character on table. OR Cancel one Sense card just played.

Lore

A user of the Force can subjugate the will of others or alter the environment at a distance, as when Vader 'disciplines' those whose lack of faith disturbs him.

Joke

The quotation marks around "disciplines" stand for Darth Vader's Force choke: in Star Wars he chokes Admiral Motti, whose "lack of faith" he finds "disturbing". It is part of the running gag of cards where Vader chokes his own officers. See Jokes.
