Fight Like a Jedi

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Join the stunt team behind the scenes to dig into an epic Wookiee Jedi lightsaber clash, the Khofar forest massacre, and more.

By Kristin Baver

There’s an elegance to the brutality at play in the lightsaber battle that leads to the Stranger’s unmasking in episode 5 of The Acolyte, “Night.”

From the start of the battle, we’re thrust into the clashing sabers of the visiting Jedi on Khofar meeting the masked foe in the forest. Each moment had to be carefully choreographed and shot in a way to accentuate the ferocity and peril for the characters while keeping the production perfectly safe for the dedicated cast members and stunt doubles. The shoot was the culmination of months of training and careful planning all leading up to one heartbreaking moment.

“I came up with this shot reveal where Jecki is right in front and you just see these three sabers sort of poke holes through her,” action director Christopher Clark Cowan reveals. “And we cut to Jecki like ‘What just happened?’ And she wipes and reveals Manny [Jacinto as the Stranger] for the first time in all his evil glory. Goosebumps, for sure, when that moment happens.”…

Who’s Who on the Jedi Council

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

If you don’t know Eeth Koth or Saesee Tinn, this cheat sheet to the Jedi Council is here to help.

By Kelly Knox

It’s been 25 years since we got our very first look at the Jedi Council in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The 12 Jedi Masters on the Council oversee the thousands of knights, Padawans, and younglings in the Jedi Order in their service to the Galactic Republic. A simple matter for Jedi who have spent lifetimes mastering the ways of the Force, right?

You’d be surprised.

In John Jackson Miller’s new novel Star Wars: The Living Force, readers find out firsthand that red tape can be just as formidable as red-bladed lightsabers in the galaxy far, far away. Set just before the events of The Phantom Menace, the Jedi Masters on the Council handle Republic matters that are more bureaucratic than scholastic. Meetings, inventories, meetings, doling out knight and Padawan assignments, more meetings… the list of their responsibilities goes on and on…
