Marksman-H training remote

The Marksman-H training remote, often referred to as a remote, was a type of droid used to train its user how to properly deflect blaster bolts with a lightsaber. Quick and unpredictable, they had multiple power levels, including lethal and sting. They were also capable of being programmed for defensive purposes.

The Jedi Order used remotes to train Jedi younglings during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Army was known to use them as drones.

En route to the planet Alderaan, burgeoning Jedi Luke Skywalker practiced against a Marksman-H remote, using his father's lightsaber. Though initially unable to block the remote's fire, he learned to rely on the Force when his mentor, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, challenged Skywalker by blocking his sight. Several decades later, rogue stormtrooper Finn happened upon a Marksman-H remote, stored in a brown bag, while looking for bandages to treat the injured Wookiee Chewbacca.
