Description
Little about Kazdan if you are unfamiliar with the character:Jedi Master Kazdan Paratus from StarWars: The Force Unleashed.
Kazdan was an engineer savy Jedi. With his expertise in robotics he crafted four mechanical limbs to aid him in combat.
After order 66, he took refuge on Raxus Prime. A junk planet which allowed him to build unlimited amounts of droids.
In his 16 year exile Kazdan became insane on Raxus and built a replica of the fallen Jedi temple, including junk forged statues of the members of the Jedi council whom he conversed with in his madness.

I do like Paratus. He's quick and the fact that he's insane makes him a dangerous foe. I also credit him to creating Force Technomancy, even if he did it inadvertently due to the fact he was insane.
If you can't figure it out, Force Technomancy is the ability to use The Force to influence and manipulate technology. Kazdan shows this by creating all the Force-powered droids and the Scrap Guardians that cover Raxus Prime, but disappear after he's dead. His power with The Force is no longer given them life. In a more subtle way, I could see this being used to link the Jedi's mind to computer terminals or data archives in order to gain information. Force Technomancy probably requires skills in a handful of areas, like telepathy, telekinesis, and lightning, making it a hybrid power.
An impressive ability and one that really could have been put to good use during the Clone Wars. Still, I'm giving Paratus credit for this, so he gets my respect, even if he's only ever made one Star Wars appearance.
