Force clone technique (Earth-2356)

Force clone techniques are Force techniques that create copies of the user or their tools. Though the standard Clone Technique is considered the most basic of jenjei, these techniques are highly versatile, often used to distract enemies or fool them into thinking they have landed a hit on the user. Corporeal clones can aid the user in physical combat, and even use techniques independent of the original. There are varying methods of creating clones, some techniques using only the Force while others require some sort of medium to give the clones form and substance. There are also clone techniques that transform another person or animal into a clone of the user, such as the Beast Self Clone, as well as genjei which create illusory clones, such as the Mist Servant Technique.

Clone techniques can also be applied to material objects, such as the Lightsaber Shadow Clone Technique. However, such a feat is on a far higher level than using the technique on oneself.
