Ataru Striker

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

Ataru Strikers were a specialized group of Jedi Seekers that practiced Ataru in order to end fights as quickly as possible. Ataru Strikers were thought to tread close to the dark side due to their aggressive actions of quickly drawing their lightsaber to start or end a conflict.

Forced to survive on uncivilized worlds devoid of medical care where even minor injuries proved fatal, these warriors channeled raw athleticism and environmental awareness into a decisive advantage. They fought with reckless abandon, unleashing a relentless flurry of swift, multi-directional attacks that served as their sole form of defense and overwhelmed foes before they could strike back. Yet this frantic, energy-consuming style was a double-edged sword; any resilient adversary who managed to endure the initial onslaught could easily turn the tide once exhaustion inevitably set in.
