Another Vaino Kodas concoction, although I believe Mike Beck came up with the name.  It is not so much a climbing route as a spelunking adventure that emerges on the summit of the large boulder containing Between A Rock And A Hard Place.  From near the base of Light Sabre, crawl into a hole in the backside of the boulder.  Go left 25', then head up a crack in a corner to pop out on top the boulder.  This is a nice vantage point for heckling your buddies on Light Sabre or Apollo.  Reverse the route to descend.

Through the Hole and Up The Wall

Light Sabre

Thumbs Down Left

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Cedric's Deep Sea Fish Market

Walking on the Moon

Starts with a nice thin hand/hand crack which quickly ends and face climbing past a bolt gains a horizontal crack.

Higher, three bolts protect traversing moves up and right along a patina rail which ends and a forces a few friction moves that lead to the anchors at the summit.

Light Sabre is one of the finest cracks for it's grade in Joshua Tree.  It is long, sustained, continuous, and it will consume as much gear as you can throw at it.  On the south side of Star Wars Rock are several right-slanting cracks.  Light Sabre is the rightmost, with a small right-facing corner for the first half, a bulge, then a straight-in crack for the top.  You can't walk by without being drawn in by its siren song. Expect a variety of jams, from locker fingers to off-hands, and a good solid pump.

This is the leftmost route on Star Wars rock.  Start in a continuous crack up to the left side of a terrace left of Cedric's Deep Sea Fish Market and Light Sabre.  Move right on the terrace, then head up the hand crack in the dihedral to the summit.  If you're mystified by the crux beta, just remember the route name.  It might not be creative, but it is descriptive.

This leaning, almost bombay squeeze chimney is great entertainment for climbers and spectators alike. If you go with the proper side in, the crux is a few feet below where it turns the lip onto the vertical face.  Good squeeze technique will see you through the crux, then you're into the fists and soon onto the face where the crack is low angle & easy. If setting a TR on this, be prepared with a good length of static line, you'll want to extend the anchor quite a ways below the top due to a rope pinching chockstone in the crack.

Cedric's follows the discontinuous right-slanting cracks just left of Light Sabre.  Where the name came from is a mystery to me.  Expect a mix of side-pulls and face holds with your jams for the bottom section.  At the top, the crack fades into the face so you must smear to the summit.  It's more technical and devious than Light Sabre, and a bit more work to set the gear, but overall it's a worthy pitch.  If it seems a little out of your league, run up Thumbs Down Left or Light Sabre and string a top-rope - you'll be glad you did.
