Dun Möch- An Intriguing Sith Technique:
One technique is worth considering. The Sith always had their ways to win, making themselves almost unbeatable! And one thing that stood out was a power known as Dun Möch.
A tactic they often used against those who tried to fight against their control. Dun Möch made it a bit easier to turn opponents, making them question their values.
As you may know Dun Möch is all about a mix of manipulation, distractions and those verbal barbs used in battles!
- If you can get into the opponent's head, it becomes an easy win!
- Obi-Wan Kenobi in "A New Hope" ( 1977 ) against Darth Vader!

The iconic trilogy made it a very common fighting technique and that's not just in the movies but in the expanded universe. That is, the "Legends" story as well.
Fans of "Star Wars" always thought this fighting tactic was exclusively for Sith, but really you can see it come through in all sorts of stories and that includes when a Jedi does it.
