Line 54:
* In the ''[[New Jedi Order]]'' series, teenage Jedi apprentice Tahiri Veila is kidnapped by [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Yuuzhan Vong]] [[Mad Scientist|Shapers]], who attempt to rewrite her memories to convince her that she was a warrior of their species, as part of an attempt to create Jedi-fighting Force-sensitive Yuuzhan Vong. She's rescued before they finish, but there are still [[Split Personality|lingering consequences]] for the rest of the series.
* In ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]'', Joruus C'baoth goes far, ''far'' beyond the [[Jedi Mind Trick]] by mind-raping General Covell ''to death''- reducing him to a state of such mindlessness that, when their link was broken by an [[Anti-Magic]] field, he didn't have enough mind left to survive.
* Remember ''[[A New Hope]]'', and the scene where Vader brings in an interrogation droid? In the novelization, and in the [http://www.youtube.com/user/StarWarsAudioDramas#g/c/FC7DB8AFA5900D5E audio drama], he dismisses it in favor of what starts as a [[Mind Probe]] but, as she resists, quickly becomes this. It even gets to the point where he's able to make her believe that she is being burned alive, and that [[Irony|he is her father]] and needs to know what happened to the Death Star plans. Somehow, even this doesn't get her to talk. While she needs a medic after, she's also able to recover remarkably fast, shunting aside any effects just [[Angst? What Angst?|like all the other trauma she suffers in that film]].
* In ''[[Luke Skywalker and The Shadows of Mindor]]'', the [[Big Bad]], Cronal, wants to [[Grand Theft Me|take Luke's body]], but he has to soften up Luke's mind, first. He does that by forcing Luke to endure The Dark, [[And I Must Scream|an eternity of nothing but watching the stars go out]]. Luke's able to find a way out, but he couldn't take much more and for most of the rest of the book he is disturbed and nihilistic. Later, Cronal decides that Leia would be [[Squick|an even better choice]], and when he does it to ''her'' he closes that avenue of escape, and cuts away her senses, her awareness of her body, and all of her memories. She takes much more than Luke did without breaking, and it's an open question whether she would have broken even without the interruption, though she too is in poor shape later.
* In [[Timothy Zahn]]'s ''[[Quadrail Series]]'' series {{spoiler|the main [[Big Bad]] is a parasite that infects people's brains and brings them unknowingly into a group-mind. It can also take full control of the body at will once the infection is advanced enough.}}
