DESCRIPTION
The galaxy contains thousands of Sith. Jedi don't kill prisoners. Freezing everyone in carbonite isn't a portable solution, and other Force-negating restraints tend to use rare and unusual substances or even living creatures.

Jend-Ro Quill's approach was to imbue handcuffs with the Force in a specific and difficult way, a variant on the classic Wall of Light. Any Force-sensitive who wears Jedi restraints will not be able to touch the Force. Due to their huge potential for misuse, Quill has not made very many restraints, and has only shared the art with a handful of senior Jedi Masters.

The secret of making them is deceptively simple. One Jedi Master wears the cuffs, and another Jedi Master applies a Wall of Light to the first Jedi Master over and over, with the cuffs as the focus point for the ability. A couple of hours of this, and the cuffs will retain the ability to seal someone away from the Force. It's a taxing, time-consuming, and uncomfortable process.

Gets mad PTSD from the words "Wall of Light"

I'd say "add in a weakness about Force Severing negating the effects of these cuffs," but that would be pointless because the cuffs only sever the intended wearer from the Force anyway.

The only thing I might point out is that the wiki says you'd have to have like five Masters to make a Wall of Light, but the scale on this is so small that I'd be nitpicking needlessly.

I love this take. Jedi aren't murderers. Their primary goal should be to preserve life, even if that life is a Sith's.

Go forth and enjoy your new fuzzy handcuffs, Master Quill.

Approved.
