"Look, good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living? That's something else."
―Han Solo, to Luke Skywalker[2]

The Marksman-H training remote,[1] often referred to as a remote or lightsaber training drone, was a type of droid used to train its user how to properly deflect blaster bolts with a lightsaber.[2]

Description[]

Quick and unpredictable, they had multiple power levels, including lethal and sting.[6] When used to train Jedi Initiates, they remained on the sting setting, creating a feeling that Jedi Gella Nattai later described as "tickling."[7] They were also capable of being programmed for defensive purposes.[3] Continual exposure to Jedi training remotes' sting blasts potentially led to coma and incontinence.[8]

History[]

Falcon-lounge

Luke Skywalker practices against a Marksman-H remote on the Millennium Falcon.

The Jedi Order used remotes to train Jedi Initiates during the High Republic Era[7] and later waning days of the Galactic Republic.[9] 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.[10] Sometime after that, Rey used a red one while furthering her Jedi training on Ajan Kloss.[11]

Behind the scenes[]

According to Star Wars Insider 215, the original training remote prop from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope was a kit-bashed product from various model kits the production could buy. Pieces from World War II German tank model kits and a haulage truck model kit saw use. The plastic base for the prop was six inches long.[12]
