Marksman-H training remote

The Marksman-H training remote,^[1] 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.^[2]

DescriptionEdit

Quick and unpredictable, they had multiple power levels, including lethal and sting.^[6] They were also capable of being programmed for defensive purposes.^[3]

HistoryEdit

The Jedi Order used remotes to train Jedi younglings during the waning days of the Galactic Republic.^[7] During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Army was known to use them as drones.^[4]

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.^[2] 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.^[8]
