"Cho sun is to "dismember," but the term is used specifically in reference to removing an opponent's entire weapon arm."
Cin Drallig[1]
Cho Sun

A Dark Jedi performs cho sun on a B1-Series battle droid.

In lightsaber combat, cho sun was the act of cutting off an opponent's weapon arm.

Notable Uses[]

"Slash off their fighting arms, Goir! You'll take them alive."

Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma performed a cho sun on his own brother during the Great Sith War, and then killed him.[3] It should be noted that even though Cay Qel-Droma's arm was mechanical, cho sun still applies because it was the arm with which he dueled.

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi performed cho sun at least four times: in bars on both Coruscant[4] and Tatooine,[5] also during the Battle of Muunilinst while battling the Gen'Dai bounty hunter Durge,[6] and during a duel with A'Sharad Hett on Tatooine.[7]
