San-Ni staff

The San-Ni staff was a melee weapon used by the Jedi Master, Waldan Bridger, the one by which he was known in the Jedi Order. He employed its use in a duel with General Grievous during the Battle of Togoria, in the time of the Clone Wars. However, it did not stop the maniacal cyborg from cutting the warrior down far within the first minute of the quarrel.

A difficult weapon to use effectively, yet popular among its few users for its discreet nature. The staff, when deactivated resembled a baton 50 centimeters in length. It could be activated only by first grabbing each half of the baton, twisting, then pulling them apart. A 10 centimeter long stun prod then sprang from each end of the staff, and two high-voltage power couplings would crackle to life in between the three pieces. Activated, the San-Ni tripled in length to 150 centimeters.

Behind the scenes

 * The inspiration for the San-Ni staff comes from the Chinese melee weapon known as a Sansetsukon, essentially a three-sectional variation of the Nunchaku.
