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

The Sligh Slipper was a tactical ruse in which an individual feigned compliance with an opponent while covertly preparing an escape or reversal of control. The maneuver involved giving the impression of obedience, then taking advantage of the opponent’s forward motion or distraction to close off an exit, barrier, or passageway at the last possible moment, leaving the opponent outmaneuvered.

Captain Han Solo once used this tactic on Captain Atar of the Galactic Alliance Security.
