Number five special

The number five special was a naval tactic employed by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to escape from a starship about to be destroyed. They used it to board an enemy vessel in the doomed ship's escape pods.

Skywalker and Kenobi utilized the number five special during their Clone Wars mission to the planet Utapau in 19 BBY. During that mission, Separatist General Grievous procured a large kyber crystal on Utapau and sought to escape with it aboard a Dual Hemisphere-Omni Support Vessel. The two Republic Jedi Generals successfully performed the number five special to board Grievous' Support Vessel while setting their hijacked freighter to ram the vessel's hyperdrive.
