It's also very ineffective. When clashing, you're not aiming at the opponent's sword, but at the opponent themselves, so the moment you turn off your saber the opponent's gonna fly straight at you.

[@DarkEcho32]

That's...not really how momentum works. The style relies on turning it off right before your blade would connect while also avoiding their's. The effectiveness therefore depends partially on the opponent, partially on your ability to avoid a slash, and partially on whether you're foolish enough to become predictable when using it. A phase blade can take care of the predictability to a point but since you don't actually control when it turns off you'd need a lot of skill to compensate.

[@sadcat2559]

@@DarkEcho32 Hm. I mean, I guess that makes sense. I keep forgetting that a lightsaber wouldn't really weigh anything, nor would it require good force put behind it to cut anything. Therefore dodging and attacking would be much, much more effective than with a normal sword.

[@thedreamscripter4002]

In addition to what previous guy said, Trakata is extremely effective in attack, much more than in defense - as the moment your enemy try to parry or block your attack you bypass his sword

[@worthlesshuman5041]

The real issue with Trakata is that it only really works with the element of surprise. You lose valuable time deactivating and reactivating your saber, and, if your opponent sees it coming, they can easily take advantage of the temporary defenselessness and strike first. In other words, it's similar to any cheap tactic- once you learn how to counter it, it's strictly worse than a more refined technique

@@DarkEcho32 you have to keep in mind that no matter how smart you are, you are voluntarily putting yourself in a situation where your opponent has a weapon trying to hit you and you don’t. Not to mention, force users have precognition, your opponent will always know what you’re trying to do before you do it. Turning your lightsaber off is the Star Wars equivalent of spinning in a sword fight (all though Star Wars certainly makes this mistake often as well), you are pretty much always in a better position if you don’t turn your back on your opponent and you don’t turn your lightsaber off.

[@DarkEcho32]

@@josephthomas8714 the point to master with the style would have is parallel thinking. You can't stand in place if you're going to shut your saber off, which is what causes them to be caught off guard. There's also predictable that has to be kept in mind though, as stale moves are more lethal when your swords are as hot as the sun. That one could be countered with a phaseblade, but the problem with phaseblades choosing when they falter is rather obvious. I can't say I fully disagree or agree with it being a bad style as it comes down to both the wits of the user and how they can improvise as well as the opponent's own wit at seeing through it... I suppose that's something it has in common with throwing a sword and switching to a secondary one, if on a more lethal scale. When it works, it's devastating. Mess up, it's devastating in a different way. Also not directly related, but I'm almost shocked to see a proper discourse with actual points being made.

@@zhufortheimpaler4041I mean, yeah. Most Star Wars authors don’t practice sword combat. That being said, nothing about this particular style is uniquely unreasonable. All it appears to be is disabling your blade and reenabling it (without using your hands). It’s basically just an advanced form of repositioning and counterattacking. If the ENTIRE style is: turn off blade->step forward->press hilt against chest dramatically->ignite like we see in the clip, it clearly sucks and you’d die. As a tool to be used tactically as part of existing lightsaber combat, it’s pretty reasonable and would be super good for faking people out. People practicing HEMA or even Fencing would get FUCKED UP if you could make your sword disappear and then instantly reappear directly pointed at their chest at will. Especially when a single touch is a knockout with lightsaber combat.

Some guy made a video about this exact question. Basically, turning your lightsaber off to bypass the enemy block also means that you aren't blocking their swing anymore as well. And in a sword, fight your enemy won't be aiming to hit your sword but your body or head, which means that you give them an open window to strike you down and they split you in half before you can turn your lightsaber back on or you both die if you manage to do so.

I always thought it's also a dangerous maneuver to pull. You aren't just turning off your weapon, you're turning off the only thing that's able to block your opponent's saber. Force users tend to have borderline precognition when it comes to fighting, so the instant you turn off the saber they would slash you because you don't have anything to block with. They could go for the saber itself to disarm you or just one quick motion and you're in pieces. Either way, as soon as you turn off your weapon you're wide open.

Yet there are some Trakata masters who use it.

Basically, either you kill, or you get killed. There is no middle ground. Its only really worth using if you're already losing in a death battle, because in a winning battle, you wouldnt need it. This is where the "weakness and having a lack of power" and "dishonorable" comes from. Similarly to "stabbing a swordsman when his back is turned".
