- "I call that move the "Whirlwind of Destiny.""
- ―Petro
The Whirlwind of Destiny was a lightsaber training move that was developed by Petro, a human male Jedi youngling, during the Clone Wars. It was designed for the user to be flexible, spinning their body and lightsaber around like an actual whirlwind.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Whirlwind of Destiny move was created by a nine-year old fan named Brendon Lake, who won Hasbro's "Join the Jedi" contest with that exact maneuver. Lake's winning entry was animated into the show, and he received screen credit for it.
