Lucasfilm's first adult novel in The High Republic era, Light of the Jedi, subtly confirmed a new name for the Jedi mind trick in Star Wars canon. Over the decades, dozens upon dozens of Force powers have been introduced in books, comics, video games, and especially on-screen in the films and in TV shows, but one of the most recognizable will always be the Jedi mind trick, which was first shown in George Lucas' original Star Wars film.
In that movie, Obi-Wan Kenobi famously tricked a Stormtrooper into believing R2-D2 and C-3PO weren't the droids the Empire was looking for, and from then on, the Jedi mind trick has been a cornerstone of the Star Wars fandom. It's a power that has not only appeared in every era to varying degrees - even Rey used the Force power before she knew how to control the Force at all - but it's also an ability that has generated considerable debate among fans; after all, is tricking someone's conscious thoughts invasive and against the ways of the Jedi?
Star Wars has never answered that question, but it's something that has briefly come up in the High Republic era. In Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi, two Jedi discuss the mind trick, but it's revealed that most members of the Jedi Order refer to it as a "mind touch" and only Jedi Master Avar Kriss calls it a "mind trick," which goes against what fans have known about the Jedi. According to Light of the Jedi, the mind touch/trick is a power in which a light side Force user lifts two fingers and touches another person's mind with the Force, thus making them suggestive to whatever the Force user says next.
In one way, the term "mind touch" is more reflective of the act of using the power, whereas "mind trick" refers more to the result of the action; the person is tricked into doing whatever the Jedi wants, but that's only because the person's mind has been touched with the Force. What's more, the fact that Light of the Jedi name-drops this power as mind touch means the actual mind touch Force power from Legends is no longer a viable option to be reincorporated into canon; there's no reason to have two wildly different Force powers with the same name.
One of the many stories in Legends included the Jedi Rayner Thul being absorbed into the Yoggoy hive mind (comprised entirely of Killiks). He appeared to be fatally wounded but eventually recovered, thanks to the Killiks' help, and he later became UnuThul, the leader of a new hive mind on the planet Unu. Since he was Force-sensitive and now attached to a hive mind, UnuThul could use his powers to enhance his communication with Killik from all over, which was known as the mind-touch. The mind touch in Light of the Jedi is nothing like that one, but it's fair to say UnuThul's abilities won't make an appearance in Star Wars canon anytime soon.
