Teras Kasi...

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

I'm doing a little research into the Teras Kasi, an ancient form of martial arts long forgotton in the SW universe. Any information you could provide would be more than adequete, considering I only know minor details at the moment. :)

[Pierce Tondry]

AFAIK, there are only minor details available. The entire Teras Kasi art was generated to fill the plot void in a Star Wars player vs. player game. The art was supposed to be a way to focus the Force into one's blows during combat, making fighting more efficient and attacks more deadly. However, AFAIK (again) there has been no use of it beyond the game.

PS, the game was weak.

Anoon Bondara
this Twi'lek Jedi Master was a contemporary of Qui-Gon Jinn, and was a master of the teras kasi martial arts. Master Bondara was also the teacher of Darsha Assant. When Darsha was ordered by the Jedi Council to retrieve Oolth the Fondorian from the Crimson Corridor of Coruscant, Master Bondara questioned the Council's objectives in sending the padawan into such dangerous territory. However, he was forced to let her go. When she returned many hours later, without Oolth and speaking of the Fondorian's death, Master Bondara tried to calm her down and asked her to retrace her steps, so that they could determine it Oolth had survived. Unfortunately, they found no trace of Oolth's body, and ended up in the crossfire of Darth Maul's attempt to execute Lorn Pavan. Hoping to buy Darsha and Lorn time to escape, Master Bondara attacked the Sith lord during a speeder chase. Hoping to catch Maul by surprise, Bondara leaped onto his speeder and attempted to disarm Maul. When that failed, Bondara realized that he had only one option. Bondara used his lightsaber to ignited the power cells of Maul's speeder, causing an explosion which took his life but, unfortunately, not Maul's. (DMSH)

[Sorsha Kasajian]

wow, where was all this info when I went looking 2 years ago???

[Ki-Adi Kindo]

Now that's information! Thanks, Dasquian! :)

[Pierce Tondry]

I'd guess that a lot of it was written for Clone Wars source material, seeing as how so much of it deals with characters from that era.

I find it amusing that Lucasfilm went to this kind of effort to un-stupify something it approved.

[Je'gan Olra'en]

Basic cover-your-butt style...reminds me of me.
