I'm one of Bralt's biggest fans. This was one of a very long series of pieces that Bralt did for me several years ago. Based on my martial arts background I created several sword styles for the Star Wars universe, each inspired by a real world martial art. This one was called Shadow Blade and was the only one that didn't really have a real world analogue. This style centered around incorporating Illusions and Mind Tricks to manipulate your opponent in combat. Note how Bralt put the sword infront of the face to emphasize mystery while the Jedi reaches out to gesture towards the opponent in typical mind trick fashion.
