Example sentence(s):
  • «-Què estàs fent? Fer servir un truc mental Jedi? -demanà en Baltke-. Serà culpa teva si haig de tornar a fer-li mal al capità Solo». - Llibres Start Wars en català (blogspot)  
  • Així és: Craig és un d'ells, concretament el que (alerta, 'espòiler', deixin de llegir els que no hagin vist el film) vigila l'ostatge Rey (Daisy Ridley) i és víctima d'un dels seus trucs mentals jedi; un de bastant divertit. - El periódico  
  • No us enganyarem: utilitzarem trucs mentals de Jedi per tal que acudiu TOTS als assajos. - Xiqüelos i Xiqüeles del Delta  

Explanation:
Les referències en línia no abunden, i moltes de les que hi ha són de fonts poc fiables en el camp lingüístic. Ara bé, sembla un terme traduïble sense problemes, i tant "truc mental de jedi" com "truc mental jedi" són les opcions que jo escolliria si em sortissin en una traducció.
