Personal energy shield/Legends

A Personal Energy Shield was a defensive technology that was fairly common during the time of the Jedi Civil War.

Personal Energy Shields were forearm-mounted, and different shields offered protection from different attacks. Some, such as the Echani Shield protected against energy and sonic based attacks, others, such as the Mandalorian Melee Shield protected against physical melee attacks.

Use of personal shields of this type appeared to be common during the time of the Jedi Civil War, but they appear to be no longer in use by the time of the Clone Wars.
