The defensive Form III — minimizing offense while outlasting opponents through flawless deflection. Regarded alongside Mace Windu as one of history's finest practitioners.
Jedi technique to influence weak-minded individuals. "These are not the droids you're looking for" is its most famous application.
The unique Jedi path of merging with the Force at death. He learned the technique from Qui-Gon and used it to guide Luke across the original trilogy even after dying.
He doesn't hide emotions behind his calm — he acknowledges them and chooses to channel them. Losing Anakin was the central trauma of his life, yet he converted it into fuel for the next generation. He is a Jedi Master who sees people before rules — the most important lesson Qui-Gon ever taught him.
