Ambidexterity was the state of being equally adept in the use of both left and right appendages in humanoid species. The clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were trained to be able to wield their issued blasters ambidextrously.^[1] All members of the Yevetha species were ambidextrous, and Ruurians were identically proficient with their two largest appendages.^[2]

Jedi Master Vodo-Siosk Baas was able to wield his staff ambidextrously. Other notable examples included Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, and Dark Lady of the Sith, Lumiya.^[source?]

This quality was present in species with more than two hands, such as the Codru-Ji, Morseerians, Noehons, Troig and Xexto. In those cases, it was referred to as multidexterity.^[2]
