Duel at the Jedi Praxeum

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The duel at the Jedi Praxeum was a training duel between the Praxeum's leading student, Gantoris, and the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Gantoris believed himself to be a true Jedi since he had been able to construct a lightsaber, and promptly challenged his teacher to face him in combat.

Gantoris often attacked out of anger, and Skywalker believed he could sense the Dark Side in his student. The duel ended when one of Yavin 4's creatures ran out of the bushes, distracting Gantoris and allowing Skywalker to take Gantoris' lightsaber from him using the Force.
