Unidentified Jedi Knight (Way of the Guid)

A Jedi Knight was the former Padawan of Jedi Master Silvarte who had achieved the rank of Knight by the time of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. The Padawan possessed a particularly lumbering stance in lightsaber combat, leading Silvarte to refer to the student as one of the devotees of the "Way of the Guid"—a hulking quadruped native to the planet Tython, the Jedi Order's homeworld. The Padawan took Silvarte's mockery to heart, developing several lightsaber techniques after studying and observing the guids on Tython, and the Jedi was eventually proclaimed to be a full Jedi Knight.
