Why Does No One Use This Lightsaber Technique?

Not kinky that but all do it only for a phew seconds it takes time to reactivate the light saber and in those phew seconds any strong Jedi can end you

Airsoft man

You know since the light saber is.... Super light the best way using the weapon is not treat it like a sword. Let me explain all you do is start wiggle it or shake it really fast. Nobody can stop you.

They could have said shutting off the blade was slow

Oh dont burn the 🛌 lol

I agree with both

So you either live as an unfair pussy, or destroyed by an unfair pussy.

[Emotional Damage Taken]

Also it leaves you vulnerable if the opponent can attack fast enough

And Rey did it when she stabbed Kylo, so she's a dishonorable little b***h

That is the clearest and simplest explanation. Couldn't have said it better.

At least they agreed on something.

It logically doesn't really work either, if you're blocking a swing and then use it you either get hit by the swing since you're no longer blocking it or you dodge the swing and land your hit but you could've just dodged in the first place no?

If Darth Vader approaches you, he'd kill you before you'd be able to use that technique🤣

@@xrtd_kobi yes but lets say he wants a duel without using the force

I fight without honour, and I will fight without honour again tomorrow.

Exactly 😂 I don't care what any of them says if I'm in light saber duals I'm spamming that shit infact I'm developing an entire fighting style around it

Just logic through it... you'd get cut in half if you tried this morentyan once. Get your hand chopped off at leadt. Do da Dooku

Brave words for the dead guy.

​@@mitchmorrison791 only if you get predictable with it. Course if you want true unpredictability you need a phase saber

​@@mitchmorrison791honestly I think the best way of utilising this style is with a double-sided lightsaber because once you turn off one side you then be able to use the other side to attack with you can also be tricky with it and attack with the side that you just turned off in order to trick them honestly I feel like you just have to be creative to make it work well

@@Calijay707 Best kind of man.

That's...not really how momentum works. The style relies on turning it off right before your blade would connect while also avoiding their's. The effectiveness therefore depends partially on the opponent, partially on your ability to avoid a slash, and partially on whether you're foolish enough to become predictable when using it. A phase blade can take care of the predictability to a point but since you don't actually control when it turns off you'd need a lot of skill to compensate.

@@DarkEcho32 Hm. I mean, I guess that makes sense. I keep forgetting that a lightsaber wouldn't really weigh anything, nor would it require good force put behind it to cut anything. Therefore dodging and attacking would be much, much more effective than with a normal sword.

Wow...... The only time I see both Jedi and Sith agree on something

So effective lol

Bro if it’s me or them which one y’all think I’m choosing lol 😂

So basically this technique is you either do it right thr 1st time cause you will never get a second chance

I prefer this explanation, since morality has little to do with actual tactics in combat (just look at history and you will see a lot of underhanded crap being used by every group) and in reality the usage of something is determined on practicality

Only if you're not smart enough to move when doing it

@@DarkEcho32 you have to keep in mind that no matter how smart you are, you are voluntarily putting yourself in a situation where your opponent has a weapon trying to hit you and you don’t. Not to mention, force users have precognition, your opponent will always know what you’re trying to do before you do it. Turning your lightsaber off is the Star Wars equivalent of spinning in a sword fight (all though Star Wars certainly makes this mistake often as well), you are pretty much always in a better position if you don’t turn your back on your opponent and you don’t turn your lightsaber off.

@@josephthomas8714 the point to master with the style would have is parallel thinking. You can't stand in place if you're going to shut your saber off, which is what causes them to be caught off guard. There's also predictable that has to be kept in mind though, as stale moves are more lethal when your swords are as hot as the sun. That one could be countered with a phaseblade, but the problem with phaseblades choosing when they falter is rather obvious. I can't say I fully disagree or agree with it being a bad style as it comes down to both the wits of the user and how they can improvise as well as the opponent's own wit at seeing through it... I suppose that's something it has in common with throwing a sword and switching to a secondary one, if on a more lethal scale. When it works, it's devastating. Mess up, it's devastating in a different way. Also not directly related, but I'm almost shocked to see a proper discourse with actual points being made. Too many people act like petulant children when debating pros and cons online

its more like the Trakata user s dead, because this stuff was imagined by people who never had a sword in hands or trained with one.

@@zhufortheimpaler4041I mean, yeah. Most Star Wars authors don’t practice sword combat. That being said, nothing about this particular style is uniquely unreasonable. All it appears to be is disabling your blade and reenabling it (without using your hands). It’s basically just an advanced form of repositioning and counterattacking. If the ENTIRE style is: turn off blade->step forward->press hilt against chest dramatically->ignite like we see in the clip, it clearly sucks and you’d die. As a tool to be used tactically as part of existing lightsaber combat, it’s pretty reasonable and would be super good for faking people out. People practicing HEMA or even Fencing would get FUCKED UP if you could make your sword disappear and then instantly reappear directly pointed at their chest at will. Especially when a single touch is a knockout with lightsaber combat.

@@ChunkyTheClown That's if your opponent, in their parry, isn't aiming at you, but your sword. If they're aiming at you, Trakata is worthless--if they're aiming at your sword, Trakata is amazing. If you're good, you aim to riposte in your parry. Trakata would be good against novices, and not masters. I feel it would make sense that the Jedi and Sith look down upon it as unskilled for that reason, and not just because it's "unfair".

**flick-flick, flick-flick** "...no opponents."

Sith don't use it either

It's easy to counter if you pay attention, which is why he didn't start off with it and instead pissed off the Sith to keep him distracted long enough to pull it off. If not, he could have been struck down and countered I'm the brief delay between turning it off & on

For real. Also you could argue that it’s too risky to use as you’re relying on your enemy blocking you in order to open them up. If the enemy blocks in a way that would cause an attack and you’re saber isn’t there to stop it because you think you’re fancy… Congrats you played yourself

Reality, its dumb. Every block in fighting should be a blow that didn't land. If you pull in your saber when they are about to clash their blow will injurw or kill you.

Dishonourable*

I'd rather stay with the theory that they don't do it because the timing for the last to come out again is not fast enough to protect you from your opponent's reaction

Honestly they could have made a much simple explanation : when you turn off your lightsaber, there's a short moment when you can't ignite it back Might be good for confusing the enemy, but you can't just re-ignite it and kill him, and for two seconds (roughly) you have no weapon against one of the most powerful ennemy in the galaxy So, yeah, I feel like this explanation is much simpler and would work better

Using cowardly methods are dishonorable, so same thing.

Facts

​@@abangjago7119in reality militaries use any edge they have to win battles as easily as possible. Its called economy of force. Trakata is no different. The fact that jedi and sith hate it is because they know it could destroy them much easier as it adds an element of unpredictability.🎉

Not quite a Sith not quite a Jedi… it’d be more than in keeping with his personality.

Not really. It leaves you WIDE open, and is ONLY viable if the opponent ONLY defends, because if both blades are coming at each other and yours turns off then nothing's stopping THEIRS. It's suicide, and the last thing you want to train muscle memory for is turning the saber OFF during a fight.

Underrated comment lol

Lmfao that about sums it up

Yet there are some Trakata masters who use it. The big issue with Trakata is that while it can give you a huge benefit if you're going for a killing blow if your opponent is unaware, it also is a huge detriment if your opponent can react quick enough. Basically, either you kill, or you get killed. There is no middle ground. Its only really worth using if you're already losing in a death battle, because in a winning battle, you wouldnt need it. This is where the "weakness and having a lack of power" and "dishonorable" comes from. Similarly to "stabbing a swordsman when his back is turned". It's admitting you lost and gambled your life in a last ditch effort to win. This mindset is ofcouse a bit useless if you care about living a lot more.
