Effect
As an Action, you reach across distance toward a person or place you know well. While you concentrate (up to 10 minutes) you perceive their immediate surroundings as though you stood nearby — the sights, sounds, and emotional currents of the moment. You cannot act through the vision, only witness it, and a Force-sensitive subject may feel your attention. The Force shows what it wills, not always what you seek; the clarity of the vision is the GM's to describe.
At the Table
The party's slicer goes dark mid-job, so the level-7 Jedi sits down, spends 3 FP, and reaches toward her — someone she knows well — as an Action. For up to 10 minutes of concentration she's "standing" in a smuggler's hold three systems away, watching the crew haggle and feeling the fear curdling off her friend. She can't shout a warning or lift a finger through the vision; she can only witness, and report what she sees once she opens her eyes. The catch: the room's own Force-adept enforcer suddenly glances over his shoulder, sensing the attention — and the GM decides exactly how clear the rest of the scene ever gets.
In the Lore
Farseeing is the classic Sense-discipline art of perceiving distant people and places across the galaxy, long a staple of Jedi practice and equally accessible to the dark side — hence its Universal flavor. In Legends lore it's a textbook application of "telepathy" and "Force sight" used to spy on far-off events or watch over loved ones from afar. Luke Skywalker's anguished sense of Han and Leia suffering at Cloud City — felt light-years away across the galaxy — is the most iconic on-screen echo of reaching out toward known people across vast distance. The power's hard limits mirror canon's recurring warning that the Force "shows what it wills": such visions are partial, easily misread, and famously fed Anakin's premonitions of Padmé and Luke's premonition of his friends in pain, both of which the Force revealed without ever showing the full truth.
