Crucitorn

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Crucitorn was a Jedi technique for transcending physical pain beyond normal thresholds.

The only known user of this power was Eeth Koth, a Zabrak Jedi Master.

Jedi Knight Jacen Solo was taught a similar technique by Vergere during the Yuuzhan Vong War

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • The name of this power is possibly derived from the English crucifixion,[source?] which is fitting considering its relation to extreme pain; the English word "excruciating" derives from the same Latin root.
  • It is also possible that it was derived from the word "crucible," which means a very difficult or painful experience that eventually refines and helps the sufferer.[source?]
