Corran HornEdit

Well, since what's done is done :sigh:, dare I recommend Corran Horn as a practitioner? The style described pretty much matches his maneuvers in I, Jedi. Oh, and any way to add the accent over the first a in the title? I don't know how. Dangerdan97 05:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

    • Corran also used this technique against Mara Jade and Shedao Shai in Dark Tide II.Darth Scath 10:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Another User?Edit

• I recently read somewhere (sorry, I don't remember where) that Yoda used this technique at least once versus droids IIRC. Can anyone verify this??? Thanks. mrobviousjosh 19:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

even through its non-canon we should add an exmple for the video Ryan Vs Brandom which Brandom turns off his lightsaber off and quickly turns back on to break free of a saber lock

• Um, since shutdown-to-escape-blade-lock seems to be an acceptable definition of tràkata at this point in time, does Prince Xizor's doing this to escape Jax's blade-snaring attack with a lightwhip in Jedi Twilight qualify him as a user of this form?76.179.230.4 05:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

CanonEdit

• I'm unfamiliar with which works are canon at this point in time. Would Vader using Trakata in Soul Calibur IV be a legitimate source? I thought definitely not at first; however, in the character bios for both Vader and the apprentice their fighting styles are explained in detail, not to mention that we get to see Starkiller using Shien, the same style he uses in Force Unleashed, which must have been authorized by Lucasarts, as the game was released about 2 months before Unleashed. For those who wish to see the move, double tap triangle as you're stepping forward, and Vader will deactivate for a quick punch with his sword hand, then reactivate for a vertical cleave with the same hand. Sorry if this is a stupid point, I'm new to the whole editing game! 13 September 2008, 02:20.
  • Soul Calibur would not be considered a legitimate "canon" source in this case. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Fanon Explanation?Edit

• This article mentions that Tràkata originated as fanon, but doesn't given any actual details regarding this. Does anyone know enough to add a more detailed explanation to the article; it seems like it could be pretty important (or at least germane to the topic). -Rikoshi 04:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

2.5 Added sources/appearances: Obi-Wan Kenobi Edit

Obi-Wan Kenobi should be added amongs the users (or people knowledgeable) of this technique, as he is seen using it (albeit defensively) to counter Darth Vader's thrusts during their duel on the first Death Star. Obi-Wan backs away and switches his blade on and off while using quick circular parries to fend off Vader's aggressive lightsaber tip thrusts toward his midriff. (Episode IV - A New Hope).

• Really? I always interpreted the 'flickering' of Obi-Wan's lightsaber as just a result of imperfect 70s-era special effects. I don't think it's really meant to show Obi-Wan as turning off and reigniting his lightsaber. -Rikoshi 10:24, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Galen? Edit

Where in the game did Galen Marek use Tràkata? Or is it not available in the Wii version? Because I have not seen it, and it's not in the novelization.

Yoda Edit

Yoda used it in episode two. He extinguished his blade so he could catch a pillar before it fell on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.66.42.173.161 18:18, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

• But he never turned it back on, meaning this isn't an example. Dangerdan97 15:25, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Tyranus / Dooku Edit

I'm surprised Dooku isn't mentioned as a user of this technique, given his final strike on Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones was this. Furthermore, his own curved lightsaber has a kill switch (note the red button at the base) for this specific usage.

Someone needs to write this in.
