As a Sentinel at launch I got two moves: Opportune Strike and Pommel Strike (these have since been removed from the game). These can be used on immobilized (and slowed) and incapacitated targets respectively. Initially I was able to use Pommel Strike on droids I had CC'd, but that no longer seems to be the case. As well, one of them lights up when I'm holding an enemy still with Force Stasis, but I can't actually use it since the moment I click it the enemy is no longer held and it fails. This is all pretty confusing.
When can I actually use these moves? In other words, what's the difference between "immobilized" and "incapacitated" and how do I put enemies into those states?

An incapacitated enemy is any enemy which is controlled (CC'd), stunned or knocked down.
Because champion enemies and above are not able to be controlled, Pommel Strike cannot be used against bosses in most operations / flashpoints.
The big deal here is that you can use Pommel Strike if someone else incapacitates the target, which makes it much easier to use for Knights/Warriors.
