L'ulo Stand


A flight maneuver known as a L'ulo Stand, which operated in an atmospheric environment, was named in honor of L'ulo L'ampar, a captain serving within the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The maneuver required a pilot to first cease engine propulsion, then almost immediately pull upwards. At this precise moment, the combined effects of gravity and air resistance would act to decelerate the starfighter, causing any pursuing vessels to fly past it. Shara Bey, who was a Rebel Alliance pilot flying an A-wing, had witnessed only one other individual successfully execute it. Later, Bey instructed her son, Poe Dameron, on how to perform the maneuver, and he utilized it effectively in the vacuum of space by employing counterthrusters during the skirmish in OR-Kappa-2722.

Behind the scenes

The junior novel Before the Awakening, released in 2015 and authored by Greg Rucka, featured the L'ulo Stand. However, within the novel, L'ulo's name is erroneously written as "L'ullo."
